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!

Make sure you have good phone reception wherever youll be taking the call. My friend lost his case cause he kept cutting out and missing important questions 🤦‍♂️

Had my hearing last month. Here's what helped me win: - Organized all my pay stubs and w2s - Had my termination letter ready - Wrote down timeline of events - Practiced explaining my side to family member - Called NY unemployment (used claimyr.com to get through) to verify my hearing time - Stayed professional even when frustrated Unless its a complicated case or huge amount of money, lawyer probably not needed. The judge was actually super fair.

Falsely accused of quitting job - Unemployment benefits stopped, need to earn $4,790 before benefits resume - fighting determination with proof I called in

Got a determination letter saying I quit without cause and they're stopping my unemployment benefits. I've been collecting for 2 months with no problem until now. According to the "NOTICE OF DETERMINATION" I received, "NO UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE BENEFITS WILL BE PAID TO YOU FOR THE PERIOD BEGINNING 12/19/2023 UNTIL YOU HAVE SUBSEQUENTLY WORKED FOR AN EMPLOYER AND EARNED AT LEAST 10 TIMES YOUR WEEKLY BENEFIT RATE. EMPLOYMENT AND EARNINGS FROM NON COVERED, EXCLUDED OR SELF-EMPLOYMENT WILL NOT COUNT. YOUR WEEKLY BENEFIT RATE IS $479." The letter states "YOU ARE DISQUALIFIED UNDER SECTION 593.1 OF THE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE LAW BECAUSE YOU QUIT YOUR JOB WITHOUT GOOD CAUSE." Under the "REASON" section, it says "ALTHOUGH YOU INDICATED THAT YOU WERE FIRED, YOUR SEPARATION IS CONSIDERED VOLUNTARY. YOU DID NOT CALL OR REPORT FOR WORK WITH COBBS HILL MANOR ON 12/15/23, 12/16/23, AND 12/17/23. YOU HAVE NOT DISCLOSED ANY COMPELLING REASON FOR QUITTING YOUR JOB." But here's the thing - I wasn't even scheduled to work on the 15th! And I definitely called my supervisor on the 16th about missing the 16th and 17th (I have phone records to prove it). They're claiming I quit, but that's absolutely not true. I never quit - they're twisting the facts. They want me to earn 10 times my weekly benefit rate ($479) before I can receive benefits again. I've already requested a hearing to fight this. Does anyone know how long it typically takes until I get a hearing date? This is really stressful since I was depending on that unemployment money.

This exact thing happened to me! The key is having proof you communicated with your supervisor. Show the phone records, any texts or emails. If you have your old schedule showing you weren't scheduled for the 15th that's golden. I won my hearing after 5 weeks of waiting. If you need help getting through to someone while you wait, try claimyr.com - worked for me when I needed answers fast.

Look, heres the deal with employer contacts: NY unemployment has to verify new employment to close out your claim properly. They check: 1) Start date 2) Wage amount 3) Hours worked. Thats it. They dont discuss your previous benefits or situation. Its a basic form they send to every employer. Anyone who tells u different is wrong.

UI System Says I Certified for 7/28 Benefits But Payment Released on 7/29 Not Showing in Payment History

I certified for my benefits yesterday but it's not showing up in my transactions. The system is telling me I already claimed for the week, but when I check my payment history there's nothing there. According to my UI account page, under "Latest Transaction(s) as of 08/06/2024", it says I last certified for benefits for the week ending 07/28/2024, and that my payment for the week ending 07/28/2024 was released on 07/30/2024. But I don't see this payment anywhere in my payment history. The page shows information about weekly payments for $700 showing "0" under the "Effective Days" column, and Debit Card or Direct Deposit under the "Type" column, which are supposedly the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) payments. There's also this explanation about Effective Days that says: "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 weekly benefit rate. For each day in the week that you are not eligible to receive benefits, you will receive one less effective day, which is equivalent to one fourth of your weekly benefit rate. For example, if you are not available to work one day in a week, or if you have worked any part of a day, or have received vacation or holiday pay for one day in a week, your benefits will be reduced by one effective day (the same as one-quarter of your benefit rate). You can receive a maximum of 104 effective days on your claim." But this doesn't explain why my latest certification isn't showing up. Anyone else experiencing this issue or know what's going on? I'm starting to worry my payment won't come through.

Here's a detailed breakdown of what you need to do: Before Starting Work: - Print/save all payment history - Screenshot your remaining days - Complete final certification accurately During Contract: - Keep all pay stubs - Save contract details/emails - Don't certify while working After Contract Ends: - If within benefit year, restart certifying - If benefit year expired, file new claim - Use claimyr.com if you need to reach an agent Tip: Keep checking your unemployment inbox weekly even while working. Sometimes they send important notices you don't wanna miss.

Here's the detailed breakdown of what you need to do: First, calculate your base period earnings - NY looks at the first 4 of last 5 completed quarters You need: - At least $2,900 in one quarter - Total earnings must be 1.5x your highest quarter - 10x your previous weekly benefit rate from work since your last claim If you meet these, file new claim immediately. Don't wait. Use claimyr.com to get through to a rep if you need clarification. Better to know now than wait till November. Keep all documentation ready: - Pay stubs - W2s - Employment dates - Separation letter Good luck! 💪
