If I could give 10 stars I would
If I could give 10 stars I would If I could give 10 stars I would Such an amazing service so needed during the times when EDD almost never picks up Claimyr gets me on the phone with EDD every time without fail faster. A much needed service without Claimyr I would have never received the payment I needed to support me during my postpartum recovery. Thank you so much Claimyr!
Really made a difference
Really made a difference, save me time and energy from going to a local office for making the call.
Worth not wasting your time calling for hours.
Was a bit nervous or untrusting at first, but my calls went thru. First time the wait was a bit long but their customer chat line on their page was helpful and put me at ease that I would receive my call. Today my call dropped because of EDD and Claimyr heard my concern on the same chat and another call was made within the hour.
An incredibly helpful service
An incredibly helpful service! Got me connected to a CA EDD agent without major hassle (outside of EDD's agents dropping calls – which Claimyr has free protection for). If you need to file a new claim and can't do it online, pay the $ to Claimyr to get the process started. Absolutely worth it!
Consistent,frustration free, quality Service.
Used this service a couple times now. Before I'd call 200 times in less than a weak frustrated as can be. But using claimyr with a couple hours of waiting i was on the line with an representative or on hold. Dropped a couple times but each reconnected not long after and was mission accomplished, thanks to Claimyr.
IT WORKS!! Not a scam!
I tried for weeks to get thru to EDD PFL program with no luck. I gave this a try thinking it may be a scam. OMG! It worked and They got thru within an hour and my claim is going to finally get paid!! I upgraded to the $60 call. Best $60 spent!

Check your local churches and community orgs! A lot of them have emergency assistance funds. I got help with my electric bill and some groceries from a catholic charities place and I'm not even religious.

Just a friendly reminder to everyone here to VOTE in your local elections! The people making decisions about unemployment benefits and assistance programs are often at the state level. If we want better safety nets, we need to elect people who will fight for them.

•THIS 💯 Too many people skip local elections but those are the ones that affect our daily lives the most!
Feels pointless sometimes but ur right. Gotta play the long game too.

Did you make sure ur base period has enough wages? If you only worked 6 months, depending on WHICH 6 months, you might not qualify under the standard base period. Look up 'alternate base period' for NY unemployment.
I'm going through the EXACT same thing right now. I got through on the phone yesterday using claimyr.com (it calls for you and connects you to an agent). The agent told me my employer disputed my claim saying I was fired for misconduct which AUTOMATICALLY gives a $0 determination until it's resolved. You might want to check if that's your situation too.

calling the fraud hotline is useless these days. I spent a whole month trying. Finally used Claimyr.com (its a service that keeps calling for you) and got through same day. talking to an agent got my $ situation fixed in under a week. dont waste ur time on hold.
Emma Taylor
This is happening because NY unemployment doesn't verify identity properly. It's a total cluster right now. My roommate's going through the same thing. The fraud department is completely overwhelmed. If you go the regular route it'll take 2-3 months minimum to resolve.

Hmmm, interesting issue. I actually work with someone who used to manage unemployment reviews and he told me that there are THREE separate verification processes each backpay has to go through, and if any one of them flags your account, the money won't come through. Absolutely ridiculous. Claimyr.com helped me bypass all that nonsense. Got a call from an agent who discovered my backpay was stuck in the 'eligibility review queue'. Fixed on the spot and got paid 2 days later.

•thats crazy! what are the 3 verification processes? maybe we should all know what to look out for
Andre Dupont
•According to my friend: 1) identity verification 2) wage/employer confirmation 3) weekly certification review. Any of these can trigger a manual review flag that just sits there until someone looks at it.

GUYS I think I figured out what happened. There was a data breach mentioned in some obscure press release last month - it wasn't widely reported. I found this article: https://www.databreachtoday.com/state-unemployment-systems-targeted-in-credential-stuffing-attacks-a-19375

•Typical. They always try to hide these things. Bet they knew for weeks before putting up those alerts.

I work in cybersecurity (not for NY state) and I can tell you these alerts are legitimate concerns. What's likely happening is credential stuffing - hackers got passwords from other breached sites and are trying them on government portals. If you use the same password across multiple sites, you're especially vulnerable.

•Can they access our SSNs through this?

Dylan Campbell
•Unfortunately yes - if someone gets into your unemployment account, they likely have access to view your SSN and other personal info already stored there. That's why it's so critical to respond quickly.
