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!

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.

don't stress too much, they're always late with these forms. I'm waiting too and my accountant said we have until April to file anyway. The IRS doesn't even start processing returns until late January, so even if you file "early" you're not getting your refund any faster.

What about your company sick days? Even part-timers should get some sick time in NY state.
Sasha Reese
•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.
Rita Jacobs
•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.
Khalid Howes
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.
Ben Cooper
•I thought that expired? Does anyone know if it's still active?
Naila Gordon
•Some provisions are still active but they've changed like 5 times so its confusing AF

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?
Mary Bates
•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

I think they're updating the system or something. I called last week and the recording said they'd be doing maintenance but didn't say when. Classic NY unemployment failing to communicate anything useful 🙄

I swear the NY unemployment system is designed to be as frustrating as possible. I've been checking everyday for my 1099 and nothing. Trying to call is pointless unless you have 4 hours to waste on hold.
I tried calling today, waited 2.5 hours, and then the call dropped right when someone answered. I almost threw my phone against the wall 😡
If you're desperate and need it urgently, try contacting your state representative's office. They have special channels to unemployment and can sometimes help expedite these requests. Worked for me last year when I was in a similar situation.
This is actually great advice! My cousin works for a state senator and they have direct lines to resolve these issues.

There's actually a new NYS tax credit for 2023 called the Working Families Tax Credit that might help offset some of the tax burden if you qualify. Worth looking into if you were on unemployment part of the year but also worked.

If you had any taxes withheld from your unemployment checks, make sure that shows up correctly on your 1099-G. My friend had withholding but it wasn't reflected on his form and he had to contact ny unemployment to get it fixed.
