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!

Can I get more than 6 months of NY unemployment due to health issues at 64?

Hey everyone, I'm in a tough spot. I've been working for 35 years, but now I can't go back to work because of a health issue. I'm 64 years old and it feels like nobody wants to hire me. I've already received 6 months of unemployment benefits. Is there any way I can get more? Can I reapply for unemployment in New York?

Molly Chambers

ugh, i hate how complicated they make all of this. its like they want us to give up 🙄 hang in there OP!

Have you tried reaching out to your local congressman's office? Sometimes they can help navigate these bureaucratic nightmares or even intervene on your behalf.

Missed career appointment, account on hold - no benefits after completing requirements

Hey everyone, I'm in a tough spot with ny unemployment. I missed my career appointment on the 25th, but I went in on the 29th and did everything they told me to do. I've claimed my benefits for two Sundays since then, but I still haven't received anything. My account is on hold and I'm getting worried. Has anyone else dealt with this? How long does it usually take for them to lift the hold?

Filed for unemployment in July, still no funds. What to do when NYDOL finally calls?

Hey everyone, I'm really frustrated. I filed for unemployment back in July and still haven't received any funds. It's been months! I checked my account and there are some messages, but I'm not sure what they mean. Has anyone else experienced this kind of delay? What should I do when I finally get through to someone on the phone? I'm worried about missing their call today.

Keisha Robinson

Pro tip: if u miss their call, try calling the exact number they called from. Sometimes it'll connect u directly to an agent!

Refusing job offer due to childcare conflict - Will I lose NY unemployment benefits?

I just got a job offer from an old employer, but the hours don't work with my childcare situation. Do I have to tell ny unemployment that I turned down the job? And if I do, will they cut off my benefits? I'm worried about losing my unemployment if I can't take this job because of my kids.

Rachel Tao

have you looked into any childcare assistance programs? might help you take jobs with diff hours

Pending status for a month, no payments, can't reach NY unemployment. Help!

I've been claiming unemployment for a month now, but haven't received any money. My status is still pending, and I can't even see what my weekly payments should be. I called and they told me to keep claiming each week, but now I can't get through to anyone on the phone. Is anyone else dealing with this? What should I do?

New York Unemployment: Claim not showing up, says already claimed but not in transactions

Hey everyone, I'm having a weird issue with my unemployment claim. I tried to certify yesterday, but it's not showing up anywhere. The system is telling me I've already claimed for the week, but when I check my transactions, there's nothing there. Has anyone else run into this problem? I'm getting worried about my payment.

New York Unemployment: Claimed Sunday, No Payment Yet - System Says Authorized?

Hey everyone, I'm confused about my unemployment payment. I claimed on Sunday for last week, but I still haven't received anything. When I called the automated system, it told me I was authorized for the week of the 14th on the 15th. Is this normal? Is there a delay or something going on with payments right now? Anyone else experiencing this?

Confused about filing unemployment: NJ resident with work history in NY

I'm having trouble getting through to unemployment and the governor's office. I currently live in New Jersey, and my most recent job was in NJ. However, all my previous jobs were in New York, where I used to live. This is all within the last 18 months. I'm confused about whether I should file for unemployment in New Jersey or New York. Can anyone help me figure this out?

Confusion about re-entering direct deposit info for New York Unemployment - Did I mess up?

Hey everyone, I'm a bit confused about the direct deposit setup for unemployment benefits. When I initially applied, I put in my banking info for direct deposit. But later, when I went to file my claim, there was an option to 'register for direct deposit.' I went ahead and did the IDme verification and entered my bank account details again. Now I'm worried - was this the right thing to do? Or should I have just left it alone since I already set up direct deposit when I first applied? Anyone else run into this?

Has anyone else noticed that the website is always down for 'maintenance' right when you need to file? 🤔
