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!

Hey OP, just a heads up - make sure your husband keeps documentation of everything. Severance letter, pay stubs, all of it. ny unemployment might ask for proof later and its a pain if you don't have it handy.

I swear, dealing with unemployment is like playing 4D chess while blindfolded. And the chess pieces keep changing shape. And the board is on fire. Good luck, OP! πŸ”₯β™ŸοΈπŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

Has anyone actually been audited for their job search? I'm curious how thorough they are

About 3 weeks from when they first contacted me. Not fun, but manageable if you've kept good records.

Friendly reminder to everyone: don't forget to certify every week! Set an alarm on your phone or something. Missing a week can mess up your whole claim.

Pro tip: set an alarm for exactly when ur claim ends and file the new one at 12:01 am the following Monday. Beat the rush!

Guys, I'm telling you, Twitter is the way to go. Tweet at @NYSLabor with your issue and they usually respond pretty quick. It's like their secret backdoor or sumthin

I had luck reaching someone by calling exactly at 7:59am and repeatedly hitting the option to speak to a rep. Took a few tries but I got through eventually!

Moving states while on unemployment is a NIGHTMARE. I did it last year and it took months to sort everything out. If you can avoid it, stay put until your benefits run out. Trust me, it's not worth the hassle.

I second this. Moved from NY to FL and it was a total clusterfuck. Lost benefits for 2 months while they 'processed' my case. Never again.

Hey OP, for the Webex thing - try going to webex.com and clicking 'Join a Meeting'. Sometimes you can just enter your name and the meeting number (if you have it) without needing a specific login. Worth a shot if you're in a pinch!

Can't upload driver's license to id.me for NY unemployment verification - any recent fixes?

Hey everyone, I'm having a real headache trying to upload my driver's license to id.me for verification. It's just not working at all. I remember people had this problem before, but I'm wondering if anyone's dealt with this recently? My buddy managed to get his through on a desktop computer, but I don't have that option. This whole process is eating up so much of my time. Anyone else struggling with this or found a way around it?

This happened to me too. Turns out there was an issue with my employer's response. Keep calling and ask specifically if there's any hold up on your claim. Good luck!

Pro tip: If you can't get through on the phone, try reaching out to your local state representative. They sometimes have direct lines to unemployment offices and can help push things along.

Yo, make sure you appeal if they say you're not eligible! You got rights, don't let em push you around. I appealed and won after they initially denied me. Fight the power! ✊
