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!

fun fact: the ny unemployment system is STILL using a computer system from the 1970s. Actual COBOL mainframes. no wonder everything is a mess 🤦♀️
And they spent millions "upgrading" it in 2020 lmaooo 🤡
my cousin works in IT and said they can't find programmers who even know that ancient language anymore 💀

tbh ur not alone but u might want to check if ur IP is somehow flagged or blocked. sometimes they do that if they think ur account looks suspicious for some reason. try using a different internet connection or reset ur router.
Wait this is a thing??? How do you know if you're flagged?
My cousin works in IT security and said gov sites sometimes auto-flag IPs that have too many failed logins or weird patterns. Not saying that's definitely it but worth trying diff connection

If you're really stuck, you can also try emailing NYS.1099G@labor.ny.gov with your request. Include your full name, last 4 of SSN, mailing address, and phone number. I had to do this last year and they responded within 3 business days with my form. Way easier than calling!
This is great to know, thanks! I'll try this today. Hopefully they respond quickly.

What about your company sick days? Even part-timers should get some sick time in NY state.

•My boss is saying since I've only been there 4 months I haven't accrued enough sick time yet. I need to look into whether that's accurate.

•That might be true about accrual, but they still can't say you get ZERO sick time just for being part-time. The law changed.

Have you looked into the NY State COVID sick leave law? It's separate from regular sick leave and unemployment. Your employer might be required to provide paid leave specifically for COVID regardless of your part-time status.
