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!

Here's a detailed breakdown of what you need to do: First, wait until the day after your last day of work. Filing early will only cause problems. Have these ready: - Social security number - Driver's license/State ID - Last 18 months of employment history - Your bank info for direct deposit File online first at labor.ny.gov - it's easier than calling. But if you need to talk to someone (which most people do), use claimyr.com to get through instead of waiting on hold forever. After you file, you'll need to claim weekly benefits. Set a reminder - always do it on the same day each week. If your claim gets stuck 'pending' (pretty common), that's when you'll definitely need to call. Again, claimyr.com is clutch for this. DM me if you need more help! Been through this whole process recently 💯

start looking for jobs now tbh. unemployment takes forever to kick in sometimes

0 coins

yeah already on that. got some interviews lined up next week

0 coins

Quick heads up - if u miss the interview they usually give u 7 days to provide good cause for missing it. So worst case scenario, you'll have time to explain after the fact

omg thank you this makes me feel better about the whole thing

yeah but try not to let it get to that point if u can help it. much easier to handle before than after

DETAILED GUIDE FOR RESCHEDULING INTERVIEWS: First, try these methods to contact them: 1. Use claimyr.com to get through on the phone - fastest option but costs $20 2. Email your state rep/assemblyperson 3. Send a secure message through your online account 4. Fax your flight itinerary with your claim ID and explanation Keep ALL documentation: - Flight itinerary - Proof of family emergency - Screenshots of attempts to contact - Dates and times of calls If you cant reach anyone before the interview, you have 7 days after to provide good cause. But try to handle it beforehand. Check claimyr.com if you need guaranteed phone contact. Its been helping tons of people get through lately.

Quick heads up - make sure you print out all your paystubs and w2s before filing. NY unemployment website is a clown show 🤡 and youll need backup of everything

Just went thru this process myself. Here's what you need to know: 1. File with NY unemployment 2. Have ALL your documents ready (w2, paystubs, termination letter) 3. You might need to call them to verify some stuff since ur out of state 4. Use claimyr.com if you cant get through on phone 5. Benefits will be based on NY wages even tho you paid MI taxes 6. Weekly certifications can be done online from anywhere DM me if u need more help, been there done that!

fr same here. ny unemployment system needs to chill with these strict times

Let me break this down for everyone about certification times and what happens if you miss them. The system gives you a pretty decent window to certify each week. You can certify starting Sunday at 12:01 AM through midnight Saturday. The 7:30 PM cutoff is just for PHONE certification. Online certification works 24/7 during your window. If you miss your window completely, you'll need to call them to backdate the certification. That's where services like claimyr.com come in handy since getting through to an agent can be rough. Missing one certification won't end your benefits - you just might get paid late. Just make sure you certify ASAP and try not to make it a habit!
