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!

major key: get a consultation with an unemployment lawyer before the hearing. many do free consultations. they'll tell you exactly what to say and what not to say 🔑

•any recommendations for lawyers?
sent you a DM with some names
DETAILED GUIDE FOR UI HEARINGS: Before the Hearing: - Write a timeline of events - Gather all communications with employer about advancement - Get documentation of school enrollment - Practice explaining your situation clearly - Call unemployment using claimyr.com to discuss your case During the Hearing: - Be professional and calm - Answer questions directly - Don't interrupt - Take detailed notes - Have evidence ready to reference Key Points to Emphasize: - Specific instances where advancement was denied - How the job hindered career growth - Why school was necessary for career advancement - Any attempts to compromise with employer Remember, the judge needs to see that you had no choice but to quit. Simple desire for education isn't enough - you need to show the job was a dead end.

Look, here's what you need to do to get this resolved: First, document everything. Screenshot your claim status, keep a log of all your call attempts. This helps if you need to prove you've been trying. Second, try reaching them through multiple channels: - Use claimyr.com to get through on the phone (costs $20 but actually works) - Message them on Twitter @NYSLabor - Email your state representative - Submit complaints to the DOL website Third, make sure you're still certifying weekly even if you haven't gotten any payments. They'll backpay you once approved. Don't give up! The system is overwhelmed but persistence pays off. I was in the same boat and finally got through using claimyr.com
this is gold 🙌 saving this comment

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! 💪
