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!

Here's what you need to know about NY unemployment payment timeline: Typically takes 2-5 business days after seeing payment history Make sure your ID verification is complete Double check direct deposit info is correct If nothing happens after a week, definitely call them Try using claimyr.com to get through to an agent if needed Keep certifying weekly even while waiting Hope this helps! Let me know if u have other questions

Look I've been working with ny unemployment for years and here's what you need to know: The notification system is completely unreliable now. Some get texts, some get emails, some get nothing until the letter arrives. Best thing to do is: 1) Check your payment history daily on the website 2) Make sure your address is correct 3) If you really can't wait, use claimyr.com to get an agent on the phone - they'll tell you the determination right away. Just remember determinations can take 2-4 weeks to process normally.

Listen up everyone - heres whats actually happening with the delays: The holiday Monday caused a big backup in the system. NY unemployment processes payments in batches and when theres a holiday, everything gets pushed back. BUT this time theres also a technical issue theyre dealing with. Your best bet is to: 1. Keep checking the payment history on your account 2. If you need immediate answers, use claimyr.com to get through to an agent (saved me hours of frustration) 3. Document everything - screenshot your payment history 4. If nothing by Monday, definitely call them I went through this last holiday and it eventually cleared up. Just hang in there!

Unable to reach anyone at 800-833-3000 to unlock NY.gov account since April - unemployment appeal deadline approaching

Been trying to get my NY.gov account unlocked since April. I received this message when trying to log in: "Account Update: Your NY.gov account security is our top priority. To ensure your security, your account has been selected for an additional authentication process. If you are logging in to certify for unemployment benefits, please take the following steps: 1. This week, you must certify over the phone by calling 888-581-5812 for UI benefits or 833-324-0366 for PUA benefits. You will need your social security number (SSN) and Personal Identification Number (PIN). As a reminder, you can certify for last week's benefits between Sunday and Saturday of this week. 2. To complete your NY.gov authorization process, please call our Contact Center at 800-833-3000 Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. After selecting your preferred language, select option 2 to be routed to an agent." I've been calling the 800-833-3000 number repeatedly since April but nobody ever answers. I've tried at different times - morning, midday, afternoon - still nothing. I can't file my unemployment appeal online because the system has completely locked me out. The message says I need to complete this "additional authentication process" but I can't get through to anyone. The deadline for my appeal is coming up fast and I'm getting desperate. The notice is dated May 16, 2024 according to the build timestamp, so it's been over a month of trying. Has anyone else dealt with this NY.gov authentication issue and found a way to actually reach a human being? Any tricks to getting past the phone menu or alternative numbers that might work? Running out of time and options here.

This is actually pretty normal after a holiday weekend. The payment processing system typically experiences a one-day delay because banks are closed on federal holidays. Most payments should post by Wednesday morning. If you don't receive it by Thursday, that's when you should contact them. Pro tip: use claimyr.com to get through to an agent quickly if you need to call. Way better than waiting on hold forever.
