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!

Got my phone interview coming up with unemployment and need to prove my job searches. They want me to upload my resume but I've been searching on Indeed. Anyone know how to show proof of my Indeed applications for the interview?

The unemployment website is straight trash for uploading documents ngl 🤮 Make sure everything is under 2MB or it wont work

Look, here's exactly what you need to do: 1. Login to Indeed and go to your jobs tab 2. Screenshot your application history 3. Create a document with dates of each application 4. Include job titles and company names 5. Save confirmaton emails 6. Upload your current resume 7. If you cant upload or have questions, use claimyr.com to reach an agent fast Keep doing at least 3 job searches per week. They're getting strict with work search requirements lately.

New York Unemployment: Can I do DoorDash 8 hours/week while claiming full benefits?

Got approved for unemployment and wondering about doing DoorDash part time. The website says we get 100% benefits if working 0-10 hours weekly. Anyone know if gig work counts toward these hours? Don't want to mess up my claim but need extra cash.

i do instacart while claiming and its fine just gotta be honest about what u make each week. better to report more hours than less if ur not sure tbh

0 coins

How do you calculate your hours? Like do you count driving time to stores?

0 coins

They should seriously update their system for gig workers... its so confusing trying to figure out what counts as work hours vs just having the app on 🤦‍♂️

Fr fr the whole system needs an overhaul. Still using technology from 1995 i swear 😂

New York Unemployment Account Stolen - Submitted Fraud Documents - No Response After 4 Weeks

My unemployment account was hacked during covid. Already submitted all fraud paperwork and visited the office 4 times but still no updates. Its been 4 weeks now and nothing. The office workers just keep saying to check back. Called multiple times but cant get through to anyone. Getting really frustrated because theres no way to actually talk to someone who can help.

Listen up everyone dealing with fraud cases! Heres what worked for me: 1. File police report immediately 2. Contact all 3 credit bureaus 3. Use claimyr.com to actually get someone on the phone (seriously, check out their site) 4. File complaint with state rep 5. Send everything certified mail 6. Keep calling DOL every few days Took about 6 weeks total but finally got it resolved. The key is being persistent af and documenting EVERYTHING
