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 ā€“ 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!

How long for New York Unemployment claim approval?

Hey everyone, I just filed my unemployment claim in New York and I'm wondering how long it typically takes to get approved. Anyone have recent experience with this? I'm getting anxious waiting and could really use some insight. Thanks!

CyberNinja

Mine got approved in 10 days but my coworker is still waiting after a month. Seems pretty random tbh

Mom's unemployment claim pending for a year - no benefits received!

My mom has been out of work for almost a year now. She applied for unemployment benefits but hasnt received anything yet. What's going on with ny unemployment? This is getting ridiculous! I've also been laid off recently and can't even apply because my account is locked. Customer service is impossible to reach. Anyone else dealing with this mess?

Zara Rashid

Yo, has anyone tried faxing their documents? I heard from a friend that sometimes that gets faster results than calling or emailing.

UI Direct Deposit Error: System Won't Let Me Enter Bank Info. Help!

I'm having trouble entering my direct deposit information for unemployment. The system won't let me input it. Has anyone else experienced this? I double-checked my SSN and PIN, but I'm still getting an error message saying they're incorrect. This is so frustrating! I've used the system before without issues. Any advice on what to do?

Liam Fitzgerald

Here's what worked for me when I had a similar issue: 1. Log out completely and wait for about 30 minutes 2. Clear your browser cache and cookies 3. Use a different browser if possible 4. Try logging in during off-peak hours (early morning or late night) 5. Double-check that your bank account info hasn't changed 6. If all else fails, call the unemployment office directly If none of these work, there might be a temporary hold on your account or a system-wide issue. In that case, you'll need to speak with a representative directly. Good luck!

Can I claim partial unemployment after returning to part-time work in New York?

I started getting unemployment benefits in December, but I just got a part-time job this week. Is it possible to keep claiming partial unemployment if I'm working less than 15 hours a week? Not sure how this affects my benefits or if I need to report it.

Effective Days 0 and BYE 6/2024: Continue Certifying or File New Claim for NY Unemployment?

Hey everyone, I'm confused about my unemployment situation. My effective days are at 0 and my benefit year end (BYE) is in June 2024. Do I need to file a new claim or just keep certifying to keep getting benefits? Any help would be appreciated!

Jasmine Hernandez

Hey, just a heads up - if you do end up needing to call, try early in the morning right when they open. I've had better luck getting through that way.

Employer lied on unemployment letter, requested hearing. How long until hearing date?

I requested a hearing because I strongly disagree with the letter I received from unemployment. I've been getting benefits for almost 2 months without any issues, but last week I got this letter. It claims I didn't show up for work on the 15th, 16th, and 17th, but that's not true! I have proof I called my supervisor on the 16th to explain I wouldn't be in on the 16th or 17th. The biggest lie is about the 15th - I wasn't even scheduled to work that day! I can't believe my employer would lie like this. Has anyone else dealt with this kind of situation? How long does it usually take to get a hearing date?

Can't change direct deposit info - NY Unemployment system says mother's name is wrong

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble changing my direct deposit info for my unemployment benefits. When I try to update it, the system keeps telling me my mother's name is incorrect. This isn't the first time it's happened - I had the same issue back in 2020 when I was on unemployment before. Has anyone else run into this problem or know how to fix it? I'm getting pretty frustrated here.

This is why I always tell people to keep a copy of their original unemployment application. Makes it easier to spot discrepancies like this.

How to check NY unemployment claim status online?

Hey everyone, I've been trying to figure out if there's a way to check the status of my unemployment claim on the New York Department of Labor website. I've looked around but can't seem to find any clear information. Does anyone know if this is possible or if we have to call them every time we want an update? It's frustrating not knowing where things stand. Any help would be appreciated!

StarSeeker

Has anyone tried reaching out to their local representatives about this? Maybe if enough of us complain, they'll finally update the system.

Basically, yeah. They have some automated system that navigates the phone menu and waits on hold. When a real person picks up, it calls your phone and connects you. Check out their site for more details.

How long to get WAY2GO card for NY Unemployment benefits?

I just got approved for unemployment benefits in New York, and they've already gone through. But I still haven't gotten my WAY2GO card in the mail. Does anyone know how long it usually takes to arrive? I switched to direct deposit today, but I'm worried about accessing the money that's already been sent.

When does NY unemployment payment history update?

Hey everyone, I'm wondering about the payment history and processing for ny unemployment. Does anyone know if I have to wait until 7:30 AM for it to change? I've been checking constantly but nothing seems to be updating. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?

Dmitry Smirnov

Hot take: the 7:30 AM update time is a conspiracy to make sure we're all up early looking for jobs. Stay woke, people! šŸ‘€
