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 whole NY unemployment system is such a joke. They're still using technology from like 1995 and expect it to handle modern problems. I had to verify my identity THREE separate times and each time they claimed they never received my documents even tho I had confirmation numbers.
for real tho. my uncle works in IT and says their entire system is held together with duct tape and prayers at this point 💀

•lmao duct tape is giving them too much credit. more like chewing gum and hope

Has anyone noticed how these rumors about new stimulus money always spread right before elections? 🤔 Just saying...
Let's not turn this into a political thing. People are genuinely struggling and looking for information.

•It IS political when they dangle the promise of help and then nothing materializes after they get our votes

I checked with several sources and called ny unemployment directly. No stimulus is coming currently. The only payments going out now are regular unemployment benefits, child tax credits if you have kids, and maybe some retroactive payments if you had issues with your claim before. Don't get your hopes up for anything else right now unfortunately.

i think the whole program is a scam tbh. ny state announced this big relief program to look good in the press but never had a plan to actually distribute the funds efficiently. classic government move - big promises, garbage execution.

I'm a former tour guide who applied on April 5th. Just got my payment today (August 12th). So it took just over 4 months total. Hang in there everyone, they ARE slowly processing them!

•This gives me hope! Did your status ever update online or did the money just show up?
PixelWarrior
•Status never changed from "pending review" - the money just appeared in my account this morning! Check your bank not the website.

Check that your direct deposit info is correct in the system!!! My backpay was supposedly "sent" but to an old account. Once I updated it they resent everything within a week.
NY unemployment is still backed up from covid even tho that was years ago 🙄 there's like 8 people answering phones for the whole state i swear. absolute joke.
and they probably hired their cousins who don't know what they're doing 🤡
for real! every time i get someone they give me different info. left hand doesn't know what the right is doing

Have you checked your spam/junk email? Sometimes they send important notices that get filtered out. Also check your online account message center - some communications only show up there and don't get emailed.

•Good idea - I just checked spam folder and there's nothing there, but I'll keep an eye on it. I do check my online account regularly too and haven't seen anything new.

Seriously try claimyr.com - I was in the same boat stuck for months with no determination. Got through to someone immediately who saw there was a simple flag on my account that needed to be removed. No one had looked at my file in 6 months! Once I actually talked to the right person, it got fixed in one day. Best money I ever spent after months of frustration.

•I'm gonna try this. At this point I have nothing to lose - been waiting way too long and getting nowhere on my own.

•You won't regret it. Just make sure when you get connected you specifically ask to speak to someone who can handle claim determinations - not just a regular agent. Be super clear about how long you've been waiting.
