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!

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.

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.

•Do you have a link to info about this? I can't find anything about a NYS Working Families Tax Credit for 2023

•Sorry, I was thinking of the Enhanced Earned Income Tax Credit. Here's some info: https://www.tax.ny.gov/pit/credits/earned_income_credit.htm

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.

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 🙄

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

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!

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.
