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!

I know this sounds weird but try calling your local assembly person's office. My friend works for an assemblymember and they have direct connections to unemployment office staff. They can often solve these issues with one call that would take you months.

•can confirm this works! my state senator's office fixed my unemployment issue in 48 hours after i spent 3 weeks trying on my own
Something similar happened to me. The online portal is useless for special cases. After trying to call for weeks, I used Claimyr.com and they got me through to an agent who fixed everything in one call. Worth every penny because I was able to explain my unique situation directly.
wait seriously? does that service actually work? ive been calling for weeks
Yes! I was super skeptical too but I was desperate. They connected me with a real agent in about an hour. The agent told me they're getting like 2000% more calls than normal so it's basically impossible to get through without help.

The system is rigged against older people and it's disgusting. My dad went through this in February. What finally worked was going to our local state assembly person's office. They have special contacts at unemployment and got his issue resolved in like 3 days.
wait does she have a Medicare card? They sometimes accept that as verification!

•She does! I didn't realize that could work as ID. Will definitely have her try that, thanks!

Anyone try to call the unemployment office about this? I've been on hold for TWO HOURS and still nothing.

•Try claimyr.com if you really need to talk to someone. They'll get you through to an agent way faster than calling yourself
Zoe Stavros
•I'll check it out, thanks. Getting desperate here!
Y'all need to chill lol. It's literally ONE DAY after a holiday. The system always runs a day behind after holidays. If you don't have your money by Thursday, THEN start panicking.
Amara Okafor
•easy to say "chill" when ur not about to get evicted 🙄
Fair point. Didn't mean to sound insensitive. Just trying to reassure people this is normal.

Don't freak out too much. Even if you can't get your 1099-G in time for your tax appointment, you can still file without it by estimating the amount you received. Just make sure to file an amended return later when you get the actual form. Better than missing the deadline!
sauce? how do you know you can estimate unemployment income?
Ravi Gupta
•not OP but I'm a tax preparer and this is accurate. you can file with your best estimate then amend later if needed.

Check if her phone has any location history from 2020 that might show her at the workplace consistently. Sounds weird but I know someone who used this successfully!

The whole point of emergency unemployment during the pandemic was to help EVERYONE including cash workers. Now they're trying to claw it all back. Absolutely disgusting how NY unemployment is treating people.

•Facts! And they know exactly what they're doing targeting the most vulnerable workers who had the least documentation.
