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!

Missing 7 weeks of unemployment payments ($4,200) between February-March 2023 despite recent payments being released

Just got my claims released but there's a big gap in my payments. Missing about 7 weeks between February 5th and March 26th, 2023. My weekly benefit rate is $604. The payments after March 26th are coming through fine but there's this weird gap. I can see in my payment history that all my recent weeks were released on 05/05/2023 via Direct Deposit: - Week Ending 04/30/2023: $604.00 (4 effective days) - Week Ending 04/23/2023: $604.00 (4 effective days) - Week Ending 04/16/2023: $604.00 (4 effective days) - Week Ending 04/09/2023: $604.00 (4 effective days) - Week Ending 04/02/2023: $604.00 (4 effective days) - Week Ending 03/26/2023: $604.00 (4 effective days) Then there's this big gap until: - Week Ending 02/05/2023: $0.00 (4 effective days) - Listed as "Waiting week" with release date 05/03/2023 I qualify for 4 effective days each week to receive my total weekly benefit rate. The system says "For each day in the week that you are not eligible to receive benefits you will receive one less effective day which is equivalent to one fourth of your weekly benefit rate." It also mentions "You can receive a maximum of 104 effective days on your claim." I've checked and my Benefit Year Ending date hasn't passed. I understand that if I remain unemployed after the BYE date, I would need to file a new claim immediately. The payment history shows all my recent payments as "Direct Deposit" but I'm missing those payments between February 5th and March 26th. That's about 7 weeks of payments at $604 each, which is over $4,200! Anyone know what could be causing this gap? Is it because of the "waiting week" notation? Should I contact KeyBank Customer Service at (866) 295-2955 or should I call the unemployment office directly? I need to get this fixed ASAP as I'm counting on that money.

ny unemployment system is such a joke fr like why they make everything so complicated 🤡

Listen up, here's the full breakdown of what to expect: Typical timeline is 2-6 weeks after submitting additional docs. BUT you can speed this up: - Check your email INCLUDING spam folder daily - Your account on the website might update before they contact you - If you need to speak to someone, use claimyr.com (saves hours of hold time) - Keep certifying weekly even while waiting - Document everything you submit Backpay will come once approved. Don't stress about missed weeks, they'll cover from initial filing date assuming you qualify.
