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!

Why would you switch from Chime to PayPal anyway? Chime is way more reliable for government deposits in my experience. PayPal always feels like they're holding my money hostage lol

I had some issues with Chime flagging my account for "suspicious activity" twice when there wasn't any. Their customer service was terrible about it too. Also needed the PayPal debit card features for some online purchases.

Ah that makes sense. Chime can be weird about that stuff. Hope your PayPal deposit comes through soon!

Anyone know if you can split your unemployment deposit between different accounts? I want some to go to my bank and some to PayPal.

NY unemployment doesn't offer split deposits unfortunately. You'd have to set up automatic transfers after receiving the full amount in one account.

I found out my claim was 'assigned to a worker' who was literally on maternity leave for 3 months 🤡 Had to call and demand reassignment. System is broken af.

That is WILD. They should automatically reassign cases. I've heard similar stories about claims assigned to workers who quit or retired 😅

ive tried every possible way to extend benefits and nothing worked. what DID work was getting thru to an actual person at unemployment who helped me understand my options. spent 3 days calling nonstop with no luck. used claimyr.com and got a callback in like an hour. the lady i talked to was super helpful, explained exactly what I needed to do next.

confirmed no regular extensions but she did explain the 599 training option in detail and how to apply. also gave me info on exactly when i could requalify if i found temp work. worth the call just for the clear info!

ATTENTION!!! Before your benefits run out completely make SURE you submit your final weekly claim! I missed my last one thinking it didn't matter and then had a huge headache trying to get that last payment. The system doesn't automatically pay you for that final week.

$486 actually sounds about right for your salary. I was making around $62k and got $510 weekly. From what I understand you need to make over $90k to get the full $600.

Don't obsess over the maximum tbh. At least you're getting something! I got laid off from my $42k job and am only getting $340/week which barely covers my rent. Consider yourself lucky with the $486

From my experience, the first payment takes the longest. After that it's pretty consistent. Make sure ur bank info is correct in the system. Double check everything. And if u have ANY problems getting someone on the phone, I used claimyr.com when my account got randomly flagged for fraud (it wasn't). Saved me weeks of stress.

Yeah it worked for me. I was desperate after calling for 2 weeks straight with no luck. They basically wait on hold for you then call when they get someone. Talking to an agent fixed my issue in 10 minutes after weeks of frustration.

unpopular opinion - the NY unemployment system actually works pretty well compared to other states. my brother in Florida waited 4 MONTHS for his first payment and had to submit the same documents like 5 times!

Contact your state representative! I was getting nowhere with unemployment until I reached out to my assemblyman's office. They have special liaisons who can escalate these cases. Google '[your county] NY state assembly representative' to find yours.

Anyone know the right website for NY unemployment ID.me verification?

I've been trying to verify my identity for ny unemployment for days now. The system keeps saying I need to complete ID.me verification, but every link I follow seems to take me to different pages and nothing works. I got laid off in September and filed my claim in early October. Everything was going fine until they flagged my account for identity verification last week. Now I'm stuck in this endless loop of links and can't get my weekly payments. I've spent almost 4 hours just trying to find the correct page. Has anyone successfully done the ID.me thing recently? What's the actual correct link I should be using?

Hunter Edmunds

update ur browser!! i was using an older version of chrome and kept getting errors. updated it and suddenly everything worked fine.

why tf do we even need this ID.me garbage?? the normal verification system worked fine before. this is just adding unnecessary steps to an already broken system. ny unemployment just making things worse 🤡

Not your home address! Use the business address. I made this mistake and it caused a huge delay. The form is poorly designed for remote workers but when they say "employer's physical address" they mean the company's physical location, not yours.

So I was about to throw my phone after 3 hours on hold when my buddy told me about claimyr.com - they wait on hold with NY unemployment and then call you when they get a person. Best money I've ever spent to finally get my benefits paid quickly. And the agent I got was able to fix my remote work situation right away. Highly recommend if you're stuck!

If you absolutely need to get through right now, check out claimyr.com - it costs money but it's the only thing that worked for me last time this happened. they call the office for you and connect you with an agent when they get through.

It's not a hack, it's just a service that calls and waits on hold for you. I was desperate after not getting through for 2 weeks. talking to an agent got my $ unlocked so fast

My cousin works for NY unemployment (not gonna say more for her privacy). She says they're severely understaffed right now and interview wait times are 3-5 weeks on average. But here's a tip - if you are in a true financial emergency (like eviction notice), tell the rep when you call and ask for an expedited interview. They CAN do this but most people don't know to ask.

After waiting 5 weeks for this mysterious interview, I finally broke down and paid for claimyr.com to get me through to an agent. The agent I spoke with actually completed my interview right there on the phone and approved my claim! Apparently sometimes the regular agents can do the interview if they have the authority. Worth a try instead of waiting for a call that might never come.

Natasha Volkova

Yep! Not every agent is authorized to do interviews, but some are. You might need to call a few times to get one who can do it. That's why claimyr was so helpful - I didn't have to spend hours redialing myself.
