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!

FYI the website said July 15 deadline for me too but the letter they mailed said July 1... so I'd submit early just to be safe. Their communication is so inconsistant smh
Oh no, thanks for the heads up! I'm going to try to submit everything by the end of this week just to be safe.

My sister works at the unemployment office (not in NY tho) and says they're mainly looking for proof that you actually worked during the period you claimed. So focus on documents that show employment dates and income amounts clearly.

the same thing happened to me!!! turns out my info was stolen in the Equifax breach years ago. took almost 4 months to resolve but eventually got cleared up. whatever u do DONT pay any "overpayment" bills they might send you!

•Equifax should be held criminally liable for all this fraud. that breach is still causing so many problems for people 😡
QuantumQueen
•tell me about it. i got like $2 from the class action settlement and YEARS of headaches

Pro tip: if your employer is giving you trouble, ask them to document THEIR communications with unemployment too. My company's HR actually helped prove my innocence by showing unemployment all their records of contesting the false claim.

KEEP CALLING EVERY DAY!!!!! srsly. i know its hard but i finally got through after 57 calls in one day. the person who finally helped me said my claim had just been sitting there with no activity for weeks. they pushed it through and i got paid the next day.
Call right when they open (8:30am), press 1 for English then 1 for existing claim issues, then 1 again. If you get the "we're experiencing high call volume" message, hang up and try again. It's a numbers game.

•Or use claimyr.com and save yourself the headache. That's what I did after 3 weeks of this exact process going nowhere.

If it makes you feel any better, I was in your exact situation last year and they DID eventually resolve it and I got all the money that was fraudulently claimed in my name. But it took 8 months and about 50 phone calls. Keep detailed records of every single person you talk to, date, time, what they told you. This documentation will help if you need to escalate.

Have u tried reaching out on Twitter? Sounds weird but @NYSLabor sometimes responds faster there than through official channels. Just don't post any personal info publicly - use DMs.
I'll try this! Never thought of using social media to get their attention.
Freya Larsen
•This works sometimes but honestly the fastest way is still getting on the phone with them. That's why I used claimyr.com after weeks of failed attempts. Got through to someone who actually helped.
Chloe Davis
anyone else notice that when u finally do get through to someone, they always act like its your fault somehow? like sorry for being unemployed and needing the benefits i paid into for years??

•YESSSS! The last agent I talked to made me feel like I was committing a crime by following up on my own claim. Like I'm supposed to just silently suffer while they take their sweet time 🙄

The whole system is designed to make you give up. Stay strong and keep pushing. I waited 11 weeks total before mine was approved last year. The second you hit that 10 week mark, call EVERY single day and remind them you're now a "priority" case. Be polite but persistent.
