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!

When this happened to me in February I tried contacting my state representative and they actually helped! Their office has direct contacts at unemployment who can flag your account for fraud. Worth a shot if you're getting nowhere with the phone lines.
That's a great idea. Which rep did you contact? Was it your state senator or assembly member?
Assembly member. Their constituent services person handled everything for me. Took about a week but way better than trying to handle it all myself.
Don't just report to NY unemployment!!! Also report to: - Local police - FTC (identitytheft.gov) - Your employer - Social Security Administration - IRS (to prevent tax fraud) The more documentation you have, the better protected you'll be. Trust me - I've been dealing with this since November and it's a nightmare if you don't cover all bases quickly.

lmao welcome to ny unemployment where "under review" means "we threw your claim in a pile and forgot about it" 🤡
fr fr 🤣 most accurate comment here
Have u filed a fraud report with the police? I had to do that before ny unemployment would take my case seriously. Once I had a police report number they escalated my claim.
No I haven't done that yet. Did you file online or go to the station?
went to the station. bring all ur docs showing the fraud. they'll give u a report # to give to unemployment

Not to be that person, but why'd you select the wrong option in the first place? Those forms literally ask you twice to confirm 🙄
I know, totally my fault. Was rushing through it at work and didn't double check. Definitely regretting that now.
fair enough, we've all been there. hope u get it fixed!
Anyone else notice how the tourism recovery benefit system seems completely separate from the regular unemployment system? Like why can't they just use the same payment info they already have for us? 🤦♀️
because that would make sense and we can't have that 💯
LMAO RIGHT?? I think each program is funded differently so they need separate systems. Still stupid tho

Somewhat related question - has anyone successfully won a case against their employer who lied about termination reason? What kind of evidence was most helpful?
I won mine! The smoking gun was an email from HR that said "position eliminated due to budget cuts" which directly contradicted their claim that I was fired for performance.
I recorded my layoff meeting (NY is one-party consent) and played it at the hearing. The judge was NOT happy with my former employer.

NY unemployment is a freaking disaster right now. I work at a nonprofit that helps people navigate benefits, and about half our clients have backdating issues. They're rejecting a lot more backdating requests than they used to, claiming people don't have "good cause" for late filing. Have a REALLY solid explanation ready for why you waited.

•That's actually a good reason! Other acceptable ones: health issues, technology barriers, confusion about eligibility, misinformation from employer, or language barriers. They're less sympathetic to "I thought I'd find a job quickly" but sometimes that works too.

•The system is designed to be confusing on purpose so they can deny more claims. It's disgusting.

Anyone else notice how they changed the backdating rules after covid? Used to be way easier to get backdated payments.
