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!

The system is designed to deny benefits. That's why there's a waiting period in the first place. They know most people won't bother for short term issues. It's all about saving the state money. 😠
I actually called about a similar situation using claimyr.com after struggling to get through for days. The agent told me that while you won't get benefits for a 5-day quarantine due to the waiting period, there's a COVID sick leave law in NY that might help depending on your employer size. Worth looking into!
how much did it cost to use that service? been trying to get through myself for 2 weeks
Don't remember exactly but it was worth it to stop wasting hours on hold. Talking to an actual agent solved my issue in minutes after weeks of stress. Here's their link: claimyr.com

Guys, the NY unemployment system is a joke. I've been dealing with them for months. No matter what method they use to pay you, there's always some problem. Just this week they randomly stopped my direct deposit with no explanation. It's virtually impossible to reach them by phone unless you use one of those services that keeps calling for you (I used claimyr.com which actually worked). The whole system needs to be rebuilt from scratch.
Totally agree. I lost weeks of benefits because they randomly decided to "review" my case after 4 months of no problems. No warning, no explanation, just payments stopped.
the nysdol website looks like it was built in 1997 and never updated. how do they expect this ancient system to handle modern problems? 🤦♀️

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.
