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 ur super desperate, I used a service called Claimyr to get thru to unemployment for a different issue. It costs money but they call and wait on hold 4 u then connect when a human answers. For me it was worth it cuz I was bout to lose my mind with the hold muzak. claimyr.com
Another vote for this 👆 Got my issue resolved in one day after weeks of trying. You pay them to suffer through the hold music instead of doing it yourself lol
Ok here's the DEFINITIVE guide to getting your 1099G because I went through this nightmare last month and finally succeeded: First, try the online system one more time but use a different browser (sometimes it's just a browser issue). If that fails, call 888-209-8124 exactly at 8:00am. Not 8:01, not 7:59. Exactly 8:00am when they open. When prompted, press 1 for English, then 3 for 1099G questions. If you get disconnected (likely), try again but this time try pressing different options. Sometimes the less obvious paths connect faster. If you STILL can't get through after multiple attempts, try these alternatives: 1. Email 1099G@labor.ny.gov with your request including full name, address, phone, last 4 of SSN 2. Use a service like claimyr.com that will wait on hold for you and call when an agent picks up 3. Contact your state representative's office for help 4. If all else fails and it's getting close to tax time, you can file without it using your bank records, but add a note explaining the situation DON'T give up! The squeaky wheel gets the grease with these government agencies.
Thank you SO MUCH for this detailed response. Going to try all of these starting tomorrow morning at 8:00 sharp!

Have you contacted your new employer? Some companies can advance you part of your first paycheck if you explain the situation, especially if you've already signed all the paperwork and have a definite start date.

•I actually just emailed HR about this! Waiting to hear back, but that would be amazing if they could help out.
This happened to my sister and she got through to someone at NY unemployment by using claimyr.com - it's the only thing that worked after days of trying. Agent told her about a few emergency programs she could apply for while waiting for her new job.

wait we're getting refunds on unemployment taxes? I had no idea! is this for everyone who got unemployment in ny last year??
Olivia Clark
•yep! ny passed a law exempting some unemployment benefits from state taxes. check ur mail, they sent notices about it
Yara Assad
•omg thank you! havent checked my mail in weeks lol
sounds like one of those ads that pops up everywhere. anyone ACTUALLY try this Claimyr thing? I see a few people mentioning it but im suspicious of anything that sounds too good to be true
I used it last month to fix a payment issue. The service itself works fine - they just wait on hold for you, nothing magical. But at least I didn't have to listen to that awful hold music for 3 hours.
Alright, might give it a shot. Been trying to reach someone for weeks with no luck.

Try emailing ImmigrationVerification@labor.ny.gov - I found this email after digging through some old forum posts. Sent them my info and got movement on my claim within a week. Worth a shot.
It's a .gov email so should be safe. Just don't include your full SSN - use just the last 4 digits and your claim ID.
Thank you! I'll definitely try this. At this point I'll try anything to get this resolved.

I actually ended up going TO a KeyBank branch after waiting forever, and they were able to print me a temporary card on the spot that I could use until my permanent one arrived. Not all branches offer this service but worth calling around to check!

•That's a great idea! I didn't even think of going in person. I'll look up if there are any branches near me.

•Just make sure to bring multiple forms of ID. They were super strict about verification.
