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!

Anybody try the new claimyr.com service? I'm seeing it mentioned all over twitter for ny unemployment issues. Desperate to get my certification working again.
Yes! That's what I mentioned above - it worked for me after weeks of failed certification attempts. They actually got me connected to a real human at unemployment who fixed my account.

•It worked for me too - got all my backpay after 5 weeks of certification hell. The unemployment agent told me there was a system flag on my account that was causing the crashes.

I just want to know WHO to blame for this garbage system. We spend billions in taxes and can't get a website that actually works?? 🤬
facts. they updated the site like 3 times since covid and somehow made it WORSE each time

Pro tip: when you certify weekly, do it early Sunday morning. The website often crashes Sunday night when everyone tries to do it at once.

•OMG THIS. I learned the hard way when I couldn't certify and had to wait another week for that payment 😩

Anyone notice how the people who actually get their problems fixed all managed to speak to a real person? Yet the unemployment office makes it nearly IMPOSSIBLE to reach a human being on the phone. It's almost like... they're doing this on purpose to save money by denying benefits to eligible people who give up fighting the system. 🤔
FACTS. the whole system is designed to make you give up. its not broken, its working EXACTLY as they want it to.

•Yep - and for everyone who needs to talk to a person, that claimyr service is clutch. They literally got me through in 35 mins after I spent 3 weeks trying myself.

Honestly the ny unemployment call center is like trying to win the lottery. I called 137 times in one day (yes I counted) and never got through. Finally broke down and used claimyr.com and got a callback with an agent in about an hour. Best decision I made - they found out my claim had some random flag that could only be cleared by a supervisor. Got all my backpay 3 days later.
137 times?! That's insane. I thought my 50-60 calls a day was bad. Did claimyr cost a lot?
Jibriel Kohn
•it's not free but when you're about to lose your car or apartment it's worth whatever it costs tbh. talking to a human was the only thing that finally fixed my issue.

You should file a new claim regardless. Best case scenario: if they determine you don't qualify for a new claim, they'll automatically put you back on your old claim to use the remaining days. Worst case: if you don't file and just keep claiming, you could end up with an overpayment notice.

Have u tried sending a secure message through ur online account? Sometimes that actually works better than calling. Go to ur ny.gov account, log in, and then send a message explaining exactly what happened. I got a response in 5 days when I did this.

•Ugh that sucks. The system is such garbage. Might be time to try the state rep route then.

Whatever you do, DON'T call the regular unemployment line. Total waste of time. Either use your local representative or try claimyr.com - both got results for me when nothing else worked.
