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!

Make sure you have good phone reception wherever youll be taking the call. My friend lost his case cause he kept cutting out and missing important questions 🤦‍♂️

Had my hearing last month. Here's what helped me win: - Organized all my pay stubs and w2s - Had my termination letter ready - Wrote down timeline of events - Practiced explaining my side to family member - Called NY unemployment (used claimyr.com to get through) to verify my hearing time - Stayed professional even when frustrated Unless its a complicated case or huge amount of money, lawyer probably not needed. The judge was actually super fair.

Here's the detailed breakdown of what you need to do: First, calculate your base period earnings - NY looks at the first 4 of last 5 completed quarters You need: - At least $2,900 in one quarter - Total earnings must be 1.5x your highest quarter - 10x your previous weekly benefit rate from work since your last claim If you meet these, file new claim immediately. Don't wait. Use claimyr.com to get through to a rep if you need clarification. Better to know now than wait till November. Keep all documentation ready: - Pay stubs - W2s - Employment dates - Separation letter Good luck! 💪
