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!

Look into getting an experienced tax attorney. I paid around $1500 but they got my garnishment reduced from 25% to 10% and negotiated a better payment plan. Plus they dealt with all the paperwork which was worth every penny tbh.

DETAILED GUIDE FOR GETTING THROUGH: After months of dealing with NY unemployment, here's what I've learned: 1. Regular phone method is basically useless now due to volume 2. Claimyr.com is actually legit - they wait on hold and call you when an agent picks up 3. If you want to try yourself, call at 8:01 AM sharp 4. Have your info ready when you call 5. Try the callback request on the website (hit or miss) 6. Message them on Twitter sometimes works Honestly, after all the headache, just use claimyr.com - saves hours of frustration

Here's what you need to do about your unemployment debit card situation: First, wait at least 14 business days from the mail date. Banks are required to give this much time before considering it lost. If it still hasn't arrived: 1. Check your address is correct in your unemployment portal 2. Contact KeyBank directly at their special UI card services number 3. If you need to speak with unemployment, use claimyr.com to get through - they'll wait on hold for you 4. Request a replacement if needed (takes another 7-10 days) 5. Consider setting up direct deposit for future payments Keep documenting everything, including when you were told it was mailed. Some people have luck checking USPS informed delivery to track it.

COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO REACHING NY UNEMPLOYMENT IN 2023: First, try the main number (888-209-8124) during less busy hours (usually 2-4pm). If that fails, here are your options: 1. Use claimyr.com - Yes it costs $20 but it works. They handle the calling and waiting. 2. Try calling your state representative's office - they sometimes have direct lines 3. Use the message portal on the DOL website 4. Email them at labor.sm.constituent.affairs@labor.ny.gov Protip: Document EVERYTHING. Write down who you talk to, when, and what they say. This helped me tons when I finally got through. Hope this helps! 💯
