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!

the ny unemployment system is literally designed to be confusing so people give up 🤮 they WANT you to stop trying so they don't have to pay benefits. KEEP TRYING and don't let them win!
This isn't helpful at all. Do you have any actual advice or just conspiracy theories?
It's not a conspiracy theory when there are literally studies showing states make UI systems deliberately difficult to navigate. And my advice IS to keep trying instead of giving up, which is exactly what the system wants you to do.

Contact your state representative! I was getting nowhere with unemployment until I reached out to my assemblyman's office. They have special liaisons who can escalate these cases. Google '[your county] NY state assembly representative' to find yours.
That's a great idea I hadn't thought of. Will definitely try this if I can't get through on the phone.

•This works! My state senator's office fixed my issue in 2 weeks after I spent months trying on my own.

The government dosent care about us, you'll probably be waiting another month tbh. Its all so broken. Nobody answers the phones because they dont want to help us.

•Bro who hurt you 😂 But for real though, the system is definitely broken
Try claimyr.com - it was the only thing that worked for me after weeks of trying to get thru. They wait on hold and then call you when they get a human. Talking to an agent fixed my issue in like 10 minutes after it had been stuck for weeks.
Wait hold up - does this actually work or is it just the usual BS?
Yeah it worked for me! I was skeptical too but I was desperate. Got a callback with an agent in about 1.5 hours. Best money I ever spent to get my benefits flowing again.

If you absolutely need to get through right now, check out claimyr.com - it costs money but it's the only thing that worked for me last time this happened. they call the office for you and connect you with an agent when they get through.
It's not a hack, it's just a service that calls and waits on hold for you. I was desperate after not getting through for 2 weeks. talking to an agent got my $ unlocked so fast

•So I was about to throw my phone after 3 hours on hold when my cousin told me about this. It actually worked and saved my sanity.
This feels deliberate tbh. Election year and they're making it harder to collect benefits. 🤔

•Not everything is a conspiracy. IT systems break, especially government ones running on outdated tech.
Look at the pattern tho. Website issues always happen right when ppl need to certify. Just saying ðŸ§

you need to call the interstate claims unit directly. the regular agents don't know how to handle out-of-state employer situations. the number is different than the main unemployment line.

•Do you happen to have that number handy? I've been calling the main line.

•don't have it in front of me but if you google "ny unemployment interstate claims unit" it should come up. just be prepared to wait on hold FOREVER. I waited 2+ hours when I called them.

Its all about the tax withholding. If your company wasn't withholding NY state taxes, then NY doesn't show your wages. I bet if you look at your W-2, it shows the other state's withholding. You'll need to send in all those paystubs AND a letter explaining that you physically worked in NY even though the employer is based elsewhere.
