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!

another day, another company promising to fix the unfixable unemployment system lol
I thought the same thing until I tried claimyr.com after 2 months of getting nowhere. Got through to an agent who fixed my issue in 10 minutes. Sometimes these services actually work 🤷♀️
Hmm interesting. Might have to check it out cuz I'm STILL trying to sort out why my tourism check is less than what it should be.
Wait so are these checks related to regular unemployment or is this some new program? I'm confused
It's a separate program specifically for tourism, hospitality and entertainment workers who lost jobs during the shutdown. They used unemployment records to identify eligible people but it's a one-time payment, not weekly benefits.
Oooh ok got it. Thanks for explaining! I was in retail so guess I don't qualify anyway.

NYS is usually pretty good about posting them online. Check your unemployment account and see if there's a "tax documents" section. You 100% need this form before filing.
You need to wait for the correct form or you'll mess up your taxes. BTW does anyone know if they're still doing that tax break on unemployment benefits this year like they did for 2020? That saved me so much last year.
That was only for 2020 tax year. No unemployment tax break for 2021 unfortunately.
ugh that sucks. thanks for the info tho

Anyone else notice the website is super slow today? Probably everyone trying to download their forms at once 😫
Classic NY unemployment... build a system that can handle exactly 12 users at once 🤦♂️
Took me like 25 minutes just to log in this morning. Their servers must be run on a commodore 64 or somethin
Soooo what happens if the 1099 shows the wrong amount and you can't get anyone on the phone to fix it? Do I just file with the wrong info or what? I don't wanna get flagged for tax fraud but it's literally impossible to reach anyone 😩
Try claimyr.com - I was in the same situation and it got me through to an agent who fixed mine. Otherwise you might be waiting weeks to get it corrected.
You should NOT file with incorrect info. That's just asking for trouble with the IRS later.

If Twitter doesn't work for you, I had success with emailing my state representative. They have staff who deal with constituent services and can sometimes cut through the red tape. Took about 2 weeks but they got someone from unemployment to call me.
This is actually great advice. Government offices prioritize requests from elected officials. My assemblyman's office helped me too!

not to be a downer but my brother's been fighting this same battle since Feb and still hasn't gotten it fully resolved. keep detailed records of every call and conversation. the system is completely overwhelmed right now.

This might sound crazy but try reaching out on Twitter too! Tag NYSDOLCommissioner and NYGovCuomo in a tweet about your situation. Sounds dumb but sometimes the public complaint gets faster action. Worked for me!

•Public shaming is definitely effective sometimes 😂 I got my issue fixed after I left a detailed 1-star review on their Facebook page. Suddenly they found my case!
