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!

whatever you do, DO NOT stop certifying weekly just because your payment is pending. keep doing it every week or you'll create even more problems for yourself.
You can reach NYSDOL by phone if you're persistent or use a service. I finally got through after trying claimyr.com and they handled everything for me. Got all my back pay from the delayed claims within days after speaking to someone. So worth it not to waste hours upon hours trying to call them yourself.

Anyone who files for NY unemployment benefits now has to verify their identity through ID.me - it's mandatory statewide. Even if you filed by carrier pigeon you'd still need to do it lol. The system should have told you right away tho instead of making you wait 3 weeks. smh the incompetence is astounding
filed by carrier" pigeon💀💀💀

try the callback feature on their website. i requested a callback and actually got one... 3 weeks later 🙄 but at least I eventually got to talk to someone
I've tried that twice. First time they never called, second time they called when I was in the bathroom and then wouldn't call back again.
Pssst... here's a secret most people don't know: if you file a formal complaint with the NY State Attorney General's office about your unemployment claim, DOL has to respond within 10 business days by law. That's how I finally got my backpay after 4 months of nothing. https://ag.ny.gov/consumer-frauds/Filing-a-Consumer-Complaint
👀 Definitely trying this. The regular channels are completely useless.
Can confirm this works!! My partner did this after months of frustration and magically got a call from a supervisor the next week.

Hey I had this EXACT SAME THING happen in February!!! I couldn't reach anyone at DOL for days. Finally used this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) after someone recommended it here - they got me connected to an actual human at unemployment in like 45 mins. The agent confirmed someone had filed using my identity and helped me report the fraud. Best money I've spent considering it saved me weeks of stress and prevented more damage to my credit. Definitely check them out if you can't get through on the regular line.
It definitely works! All they do is keep dialing for you until they get through, then connect you to the agent. Saved me hours of redial hell.
LOL welcome to the club nobody wants to join! I've been fighting this since November - someone's been collecting $536 a week in my name since October even though I have a full time job. The worst part is DOL treats YOU like the criminal at first. Make sure your friend has all his employment records ready to prove he's been working. And be ready for this to take MONTHS to resolve completely.
months??? 😱 is there any way to speed it up?
Honestly the only thing that worked for me was getting my state representative involved. Call your assembly member - they have special liaisons with DOL who can escalate cases.

Does anyone know if they're still doing those phone interviews after filing a new claim? I had to go through that last time and it was a nightmare.
