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!

wait hold up - does this actually happen that often? I've been on unemployment for 3 months and haven't had any issues... should I be worried?

•Better safe than sorry. Change your password and enable any extra security features they offer. The system is being targeted heavy right now.

make SURE you download and save every single piece of correspondence they send you. my husband's claim suddenly said he needed to submit docs he'd already sent 3 times. thankfully we had confirmations of everything.

i had this exact isssue! you need to request a reconsideration of your monetary determination. should be somewhere in ur online account or call and ask about it specifically
Thanks! Is there a specific form to fill out for the reconsideration?
Amara Eze
•theres a form called Request for Reconsideration. if u cant find it online u gotta call and ask them to send it to u. fill it out ASAP cuz theres a time limit

Dude the SAME thing happened to me last week!! Like exactly the same - 8 weeks used out of 14 weeks eligible and then suddenly "benefit year ended." I spent 4 hours on the phone and finally got through. They said it was a system error on their end. The rep reset something and my remaining weeks showed back up the next day.
you might have triggered a review flag in the system. did you start working part time or have any change in your income reporting? that sometimes causes the system to mistakenly end your benefit year early.
I did pick up a small side gig last month but reported the income on my certifications. Maybe that triggered something?

for what its worth i had the same issue and had to just keep trying the 888 number for almost 2 weeks before i got through. no magic solution just persistence. its a terrible system.
Rebecca Johnston
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
