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!

New York Unemployment claim stuck pending since June - Can't reach anyone - Facing eviction

My unemployment claim has been pending for 5 months now. I can certify weekly but haven't received any payments. Submitted all paperwork they asked for right away. Can't get through on the phone at all. Running out of savings and about to get evicted with my kid. Been applying for jobs everyday but need these benefits now. Anyone know how to actually talk to someone?

Javier Morales

anyone else notice how they make it impossible to reach them but expect us to respond to their requests within like 48 hours or we get denied? make it make sense 🤔

Why does my unemployment payment show an "Offset" of $130.88 with release date 11/30/0002 alongside my regular Direct Deposit?

I checked my payment history and I'm confused. According to my payment summary, I have some weird dates and amounts that don't make sense. Here's what I'm seeing in my payment history: Week Ending Total Amount Net Amount Effective Days Release Date Type 11/20/2022 $130.88 $130.88 O 11/30/0002 Offset 11/20/2022 $251.12 $219.74 4 11/21/2022 Direct Deposit 11/13/2022 $0.00 $0.00 4 11/10/2022 Forfeit 11/06/2022 $0.00 $0.00 4 11/09/2022 Waiting week My latest payment for the week ending 11/20/2022 shows two different amounts. One is a direct deposit for $219.74 with a normal release date of 11/21/2022, but there's another payment showing $130.88 with a weird release date of 11/30/0002 and it's listed as "Offset" type. What does this mean for my payment today? Is the offset amount being taken out of my payment? Why does it have that strange date of 11/30/0002? And why are there two different payment entries for the same week ending 11/20/2022? Will I receive the full amount or just the direct deposit portion? Also, I notice I have a "Forfeit" status for the week ending 11/13/2022. Does this affect anything?

Amina Sy

Let me break this down for you completely: 1. The normal payment ($219) will hit your account within 1-2 business days of the release date 2. The $130 with the weird date (11/30/0002) is an offset - meaning they're collecting money you owe 3. The forfeit week usually happens if you made a mistake certifying 4. Waiting week is normal - first week is never paid Best way to get clarity is to speak with an agent. I've had success using claimyr.com to get through - they wait on hold and connect you to an agent. Worth the $20 fee to get answers. Keep all your paperwork and screenshot everything. NY unemployment system is notorious for glitches and weird dates.

New York Unemployment: Missed Weekly Certification on Sunday - What Now?

I totally forgot to certify for my benefits on Sunday. This is my first time missing it. Does anyone know if I can still claim for last week? Or am I gonna lose those benefits?

GalacticGladiator

Here's the complete breakdown of what you need to know about late certification: - You have until Saturday at midnight to certify for the previous week - Use your NY.gov ID to log in and certify as normal - Payment will be delayed by 1-2 business days - If you need to certify for multiple weeks, you'll need to call - If the website gives you issues, try using claimyr.com to get through to an agent - Multiple late certifications can trigger a review of your account - Save your confirmation number when you certify The most important thing is to act fast and not let it happen again. Set reminders for future weeks!

Here's everything you need to know about the Way2Go card: - Use AllPoint ATMs for free withdrawals (find locations on their app or website) - Daily withdrawal limit is $500 - Can get cash back at stores like Walmart/Target for free - Avoid bank tellers, they usually cant help - If you need to talk to Way2Go support about card issues, use claimyr.com to get through faster - Can also transfer funds to your bank account through Way2Go website Hope this helps! Let me know if you have questions

Can I get New York Unemployment after quitting to care for sick parent in NJ?

I quit my accounting job because I needed to take care of my sick parent in New Jersey. I tried reducing my hours from 40 to 25 but they kept the same workload. I have doctor's documentation showing I'm the designated caretaker. Anyone know if I can get unemployment in this situation? Not sure if I should even bother applying since I quit voluntarily.

New York Unemployment Login Issues - System Says Wrong Username but Nothing Changed

Been locked out of my unemployment account for almost a year now. Every time I try to log in with my social security number, the system keeps telling me I'm using a different username - but I've never changed it. I've tried calling multiple times but can't get through to anyone. Getting desperate for help since I need to access my account.

New York Unemployment taking 10 weeks for examination after termination - no communication

I applied for unemployment benefits last month and still nothing. Called today and they said it needs an examiner review because I was terminated. They're saying 10 weeks for review even though I submitted all my termination documents, write-ups, and emails as proof. Nobody told me about needing an examination and I haven't received any letters. Can't get through to anyone on the phone during business hours. Getting desperate because I need car repairs.

Understanding NY's Unemployment Waiting Week: When Will I Get My First Payment After $0.00 Week Ending 10/29/2023?

Just got my first unemployment claim approved in New York. Looking at my payment history I see a waiting week for $0.00. According to my payment history screen: Payment History Week Ending Total Amount Net Amount Effective Days Release Date Type 10/31/2023 $0.00 $0.00 4 11/18/2023 Waiting week I'm really confused about when I'll actually get paid. I can see the "Waiting week" designation and that I had 4 effective days, but the total amount and net amount are both $0.00 with a release date of 11/18/2023. The screen also shows some definitions under "Unemployment Insurance Terms" and "Payment History Terms" including: - Benefit Year Ending Date: The Benefit Year Ending date (BYE) is the date your unemployment insurance claim ends and you can no longer collect benefits on that claim. - Total Amount: The benefit amount to which you are entitled for the week. Does everyone have this waiting week where you don't get paid? When should I expect my first actual payment with money? Anyone know what days NY unemployment normally pays out after this waiting week period is over? Will my next payment include this week's amount retroactively or is this first week just lost?

took me 3 months to get my first payment but now its regular every week. hang in there

Unemployment determination letter shows $0.00 benefit amount - still processing since 04/10, how long until actual payments?

I just lost my job and filed for unemployment on 04/10/2023. Got my monetary determination letter but I'm confused because everything shows $0.00 for weekly benefit amount and $0.00 for maximum amount payable. My benefit year ending date shows as 04/14/2024 and I have 104 effective days remaining. The letter is dated 05/02/2023 and it states: "We are continuing to work on your application and are determining the amount of benefits you will receive. You may get a call from us if we require further information. You will receive a status update as your application progresses through the system." It also has this information about Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation: "Weekly payments for $600 showing "0" under the "Effective Days" column, and Debit Card or Direct Deposit under the "Type" column, are the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) payments." There's also an explanation about effective days: "Each day in a week (Monday through Sunday) that you qualify for benefits is called an effective day. There is a maximum of 4 effective days each week, and you must qualify for all 4 effective days in order to receive your total." Anyone know how long this usually takes to get actual payments? I started my claim April 10th and it's now been weeks with no updates. Getting worried since I have bills piling up and need to know when I might actually see any money. Has anyone else received a $0.00 determination initially and then had it updated later?

New York Unemployment: Can't finish claiming - No one answers calls. Should I go in person?
