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!

NYS unemployment penalties withdrawn - false work search violations cancelled, $280 overpayment reduced to $0, 16 forfeit days removed, and all benefits to be paid

Got hit with penalties and forfeit days because a career center agent claimed I refused to provide work search records. This was totally false - I had all my records! They tried saying I refused to give info but I had proof of everything. Career center supervisor tried helping but said determination letter was already sent. Had to request a hearing but after sending them all my proof (screenshots of interactions and work search records) they cancelled everything! I just received a notice from the NYS DEPT [PO BOX 15130, ALBANY NY 12212-5130] dated 02/22/2023 that says "The determination dated 02/21/2023 stating you are not eligible for unemployment insurance benefits because: you failed to provide work search records The other determination suspending you indefinetely because you did not report in a timely manner has also been withdrawn is withdrawn." The letter confirms that "The overpayment dated 02/21/23 in the amount of $280 has been revised to $0.0 the 16 forfeit days penalty has been cancelled; there is no longeramonetary penalty of $200; you will be paid whatever money you are owed. There is no longerared for a hearing." This is such a relief! The effective date shown on the letter is 09/13/2022. The letter also states "The disqualification which was imposed effective has been withdrawn You will receive a payment covering all benefits that may be due you." They also noted that "Further investigation is being made. A disqualifying determination may be issued if the results of the investigation warrant" but I'm not worried because I have all my evidence. The letter was signed "For the Commissioner of Labor, By: Unemployment Insurance Division" and has a notice at the bottom saying "Auxiliary Aides and Services are Available Upon Request and Free of Charge to Individuals with Disabilities." No more penalties or forfeit days, and they're paying what they owe me. If you're in the right, don't give up!

Here's a detailed breakdown of what to do if this happens to anyone else: First, keep ALL your work search records organized. I mean everything - screenshots, emails, confirmations, whatever. Create a folder on your computer and back it up. Second, if you get hit with penalties, immediately request supervisor intervention at your career center. Be polite but firm. Third, send a detailed appeal email with all your evidence attached. Timeline everything. Fourth, if you need to reach them quickly, use claimyr.com to get through instead of waiting on hold forever. Fifth, request a hearing right away if they don't fix it immediately. Don't wait. The system's broken but you can protect yourself if you stay organized 💯
