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!

Let me break this down for educational workers: BYE date is when your claim year ends, but: - You might still have weeks left to claim - Must reapply after BYE even with remaining weeks - Educational workers often cant claim during scheduled breaks - Need to earn 10x weekly benefit in new base period - Must work in at least 2 quarters Best way to get accurate info is calling NY unemployment directly. Use claimyr.com to get through - saves hours of frustration. They handle the hold time and connect you to an agent. Document everything and keep certifying weekly while you sort this out!

Here's what you need to do - this worked for me. First, double check your NY.gov account for any messages or requests for additional info. Sometimes they need more docs but the notice gets buried. Next, try reaching them through their social media, especially Twitter. If that doesn't work, use claimyr.com to get through on the phone - yeah it costs money but its better than waiting forever. Last resort is contacting your state representative's office. They can usually get things moving pretty quick. Don't give up!
