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 β 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!

Have you tried reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can help speed things up with NYSDOL.

I heard a rumor that they're clearing the backlog of claims from last year before processing new ones. Anyone know if there's any truth to this?
NebulaNinja
β’I dunno about that, but it wouldn't surprise me. The whole system seems pretty arbitrary tbh
Javier Gomez
guys i think i figured it out. if you press 2, then 1, then 4, then sing the national anthem backwards, you get through to a real person instantly. trust me, my cousins friends neighbor works for NYSDOL
Emma Wilson
β’lmao I almost believed you for a sec π€£
Malik Thomas

Have you tried reaching out on Twitter? Sometimes their social media team is more responsive than the actual phone lines. Worth a shot!
Anita George
β’lol imagine having to use Twitter to get unemployment help. What a world we live in π€£
I've heard rumors they're updating their system soon. Anyone know if thats true or just wishful thinking?
Logan Chiang
β’Heard that too, but I'll believe it when I see it. They've been saying that for years.
Isla Fischer
β’My cousin works in IT for the state (not DOL tho) and says its true. Supposed to roll out next year. Fingers crossed π€

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes there's info there about repayment schedules and when regular benefits will resume. Might save you a phone call if you're lucky!
Good idea, I'll take another look. Last time I checked it was pretty vague, but maybe they've updated something. Thanks!
PixelPioneer
OP, whatever you do, don't ignore this! I made that mistake and ended up owing wayyy more. Stay on top of it and document everything. Good luck!

This whole system is a joke. They make it so complicated on purpose I swear. Good luck OP, hope you figure it out!
CyberSamurai
β’Seriously! It's like you need a law degree just to understand half the stuff on their website. π€¦ββοΈ
Hey, not sure if this helps, but I heard there's a new program for people in certain industries who've exhausted their regular benefits. Might be worth looking into if you worked in hospitality, travel, or entertainment before losing your job.
Ravi Kapoor
β’Oh, that's interesting! I'll definitely check that out. Thanks for the tip!

Here's what worked for me: 1. Call exactly at opening time 2. If you get a busy signal, hang up and immediately redial 3. Keep doing this for at least 30 minutes 4. If you get through to the automated system, DO NOT press any buttons. Wait for it to transfer you to an agent. 5. Be prepared to wait on hold for a long time It took me about 3 days of trying this method before I finally got through. Good luck!
Mei Chen
β’Wow, thanks for the detailed guide! I'll definitely try this out. Did you have to do anything special once you got through to the agent?
Ava Martinez
β’Nah, once I got an agent it was pretty straightforward. Just had my claim number and personal info ready. They fixed the issue in like 10 minutes.

idk if this helps, but some cell phone repair shops can do screen replacements pretty quick and cheap. might be worth looking into if you need your phone for other stuff too

Best thing to do is just bite the bullet and be up at the office at 8am waiting..and waiting....dreadful stuff but. Its worth not forfeiting your Money
