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!

Make sure to check if your eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit! it might help offset some of the taxes you owe on unemployment. The income thresholds and credit amounts increased for 2021.
I called the ny unemployment office and after waiting 2.5 hours they confirmed all unemployment income is fully taxable now. The exemption was only for 2020. I hate it here 😤
How did you manage to get through? I've been calling for days and can't get past the automated system.
I used claimyr.com - they call and wait on hold for you then connect you when they get a human. Saved me hours of frustration.

Not to be that person, but like... why didn't you research unemployment benefits when you lost your job? That's literally the first thing most people do. All this info is on the NY unemployment website.
That's a little harsh. The NY unemployment website is notoriously confusing and the rules about partial benefits are buried in pages of technical language. Most people don't know about this option.
Fair point. Sorry if I came across as judgmental. The system definitely doesn't make it easy to understand everything.

A writen mandamus? is that like a court order? idk much about legal stuff but that seems like a lot of work when you could just hire one of those unemployment advocates. My sister used one and they handled everything for her
It's "writ" not "written" lol. And unemployment advocates charge like 30% of your benefits... not worth it imo
oh lol yeah writ whatever. I just kno ny unemployment is impossible to deal with alone
So I was about to throw my phone after 3 hours on hold when my buddy told me about claimyr.com. Used it and got through to an actual human who fixed my claim that had been 'pending' for 6 weeks. Best $20 I ever spent to unlock thousands in benefits. They just call for you and connect you when a real person answers.
100% works. They just handle the calling and waiting part. You still talk to the DOL agent yourself to fix your claim. Beats spending days on hold.
I tried it too - got through to someone in about 90 mins. My claim was fixed same day after weeks of nothing.

Update: just called the NY tax department and they confirmed this is 100% legit. Interest on government payments is always taxable. The lady I spoke to said they've been getting calls about this all day.
How did you even get through to them? I've been trying for days!
I used claimyr.com - it's the only way I've been able to get through to anyone in NY government lately.

This is like the THIRD time this has happened in the past 2 months! They really need to upgrade their system but you know they never will. I've found that if you try certifying very early in the morning (like 6am) or late at night (after 10pm) the system works way better with fewer glitches.

•early morning definitely works better. less people online trying to certify at the same time.

Have you tried the mobile app? Sometimes when the website is glitching the app still works. Or vice versa.
