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!

Buffalo office was decent when I went last month. But you NEED to bring ALL your documents. They super strict about that

0 coins

what docs did they ask for?

0 coins

ID, SSN card, all pay stubs, separation letter. Better to bring extra than not enough

Listen up yall - forget about physical offices. Best way is to get someone on the phone using claimyr.com. Costs a bit but better than driving around the state. They dial in, navigate the menu, wait on hold (sometimes hours), then call you when they get a real person. Been helping loads of people on this sub. Physical offices barely have any power to help nowadays anyway - its all about getting through to the main call center.

Just called them this morning, they said all 1099-Gs will be available online by January 31st at the latest. If you need it earlier you gotta contact them directly but good luck getting through on the phone without something like claimyr.com

dont forget to print or save a copy when it does come out! The website is known to have technical issues later in tax season when everyone tries to access it at once

DETAILED GUIDE TO REACHING NY UNEMPLOYMENT: After months of trying everything, here's what actually works: 1. Regular unemployment line (888-209-8124) is essentially useless during peak hours 2. Avoid calling Mondays or Tuesdays - absolute worst days 3. Your best options are: - Use claimyr.com (costs $20 but they handle the calling/waiting) - Contact your state representative's office - Try calling at exactly 7:58 AM - Use the callback feature if available The automated system is designed to frustrate you. Don't give up. If you need immediate help, honestly just use claimyr.com - it's worth the money if your benefits are stuck.
