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!

EXACTLY the same thing happened to me - I even added up all the withheld amounts from my supplement payments and it came to like $600+ that isn't showing on my 1099. I managed to get through to someone (took forever) who explained that these withholdings are handled differently and we should just use the 1099 as is.
You guys are WAY overthinking this. Just use whats on the 1099-G. The IRS and unemployment talk to each other. If there's a problem they'll let you know. I had the same concern last year and everything went through fine.
IRS and unemployment talk to each" other lmao'that s the funniest thing'I ve heard all day. Have you SEEN how these agencies operate?😂
lol fair point. But in this case they do share the data properly. It's one of the few things that actually works right.

The system is showing zero for everyone who stopped claiming before December 2021. It's some kind of calendar year programming error. If you claimed through December 31, your form is fine. If you stopped before then (like you did in September), it shows zero. Complete trash programming but that's NY unemployment for ya! 🗑️
that's... not how programming works lol. a competent system would pull data for the entire year regardless of when you stopped claiming
i know that lol. i'm just saying what the pattern seems to be based on everyone I've talked to with this issue. obviously its a badly designed system
LPT: Skip the frustration and use claimyr.com when you need to reach ny unemployment. just did it yesterday for this exact issue and got my corrected 1099 being mailed to me. talking to a human fixed everything in 10 mins after days of trying to call myself.
Just checked them out - definitely going to try this. At this point I'd do anything to get this resolved.

yeah their systems don't talk to each other. the right hand doesnt know what the left is doing. you got emails saying you were eligible but then their audit system flagged you. classic NY unemployment mess.

Theres a whole underground economy of scammers who specialize in unemployment fraud. They buy peoples personal info on the dark web, file claims, then route the $ to money mule accounts. Im a fraud investigator (not for NY) and these cases take MONTHS to resolve. Sorry ur going thru this.
Not exactly the same but my friend had a similar issue with her 1099-G showing more than she received. Turns out unemployment had been sending payments to her old closed bank account for 3 months. When she finally got through to someone, they reissued all her payments. Definitely call and escalate!!

Heads up - they just added a new verification tool last month that might help. If you go to the website and click on "ID Verification Issues" there's a new form you can submit that's supposed to alert a specialist to your case. Worth a shot if you're still locked out!

•Thanks for this! Can't find that option though - is it under a specific section?

•It's kinda buried - go to Contact Us → Claims Assistance → ID Verification Problems. But honestly, even after filling it out, you'll prob still need to talk to someone. I used claimyr.com to finally get through on the phone after submitting that form 3 times with no response.
