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!

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.

Hot tip: if the website isn't working right, try using it between 11pm-6am when less people are on. The translation features work better when the system isn't overloaded.

anyone else think its crazy we gotta jump thru all these hoops just to get benefits we already paid into with our taxes?? the whole unemployment system is designed to be as difficult as possible 🤡
Andre Moreau
•its by design. they make it complicated so people give up and they save money. disgusting but true.
yup and then politicans brag about 'low unemployment benefit usage' like its a good thing 🙄

the whole system is such BS 🤬 employers get away with so much garbage. "no work right now" is their way of avoiding responsibility for a workplace injury. stick it to them and file for workers comp!
Miguel Ramos
Make sure your husband sees doctors who specifically ACCEPT workers comp cases. Not all do, and it can create huge problems if you see the wrong ones. Ask specifically when making appointments.
That's really good to know - his primary care doctor referred him to a specialist, but I'm not sure if either of them take workers comp. Will call and check right away.

I had an agent literally LAUGH at me when I told them I couldn't pay my rent because my benefits were delayed. The system is designed to make you give up. Don't. Document everything, be persistent, and use every avenue available. The claimyr.com service others mentioned helped me finally reach someone who fixed my issue.
That's horrible! I'm so sorry that happened to you. It's crazy how some of these people act.
so the nysdol actually has a formal complaint process, but of course they dont make it easy to find 🙄 you need to call the main number, ask for a supervisor immediately (don't explain to the first person or they'll give you runaround), then tell supervisor you want to file a formal complaint against an employee. they are required to take these complaints and have a process for investigating them. dont let them brush you off!

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.

•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.
