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 Login Issues and Pending Status After ID.me Verification

Having trouble accessing my unemployment account. The forgot username option isn't working, and I've been locked out. Did ID.me verification after getting my new ID. Been claiming weekly by phone for 3 weeks now but still showing pending. Anyone know typical wait times after verification?

The trick is to call right when they open at 8am sharp. Still might take a few tries but better than middle of the day

tried that for 2 weeks straight no luck 😭

Here's what you need to do for old payment records: 1. First try the message center and specifically request 2021 payment history 2. If no response after a week, you'll need to speak with a rep 3. Use claimyr.com to get through (saves hours of hold time) 4. When you get an agent, ask for a 'payment history printout' specifically 5. They can email it to you while you're on the phone 6. Make sure to save it immediately I work in finance and help people with this documentation all the time. The system is annoying but this method works 100%. Good luck!

These virtual assessments are such bs. They started them last month to catch people working while collecting. My friend had to do one and they just ask basic questions about job search efforts.

IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT VIRTUAL ASSESSMENTS: Dont stress too much about this. Here's what you need to know: - You can use any device with internet (phone, tablet, laptop) - Need Microsoft Teams app installed - Must have working camera and mic - They'll ask about your job search efforts - Usually lasts about 60 mins (not full 90) - Have your work search records ready If you're having trouble reaching them to reschedule or have questions, try claimyr.com - they'll get you through to a rep quick. Worth the $20 to avoid benefits suspension. Source: Just did mine last week

NY Unemployment certification asking me to report hours for current week (09/30/2024) that isn't finished yet - how do I certify correctly?

My unemployment claim is asking me to certify for THIS week which isn't even over yet (it's only Wednesday). I'm looking at my New York Unemployment Insurance application right now, and it's asking "This week, beginning Monday 09/30/2024, how many hours did you work, including self-employment?" and wants me to "Round up to the nearest whole number of hours." How can I possibly report hours when the week isn't finished? It's literally asking about a week that's still in progress. The system even notes to "Count only 10 hours for any day you worked more than 10 hours" and has some chart to convert hours into "days" to report. The application is also asking "This week, beginning Monday 09/30/2024, were your gross earnings more than $504?" with Yes/No options. But again, how would I know this when the week isn't complete? I'm also confused because I thought I already filed a few weeks ago but have been working on and off. Haven't certified before. Isn't certification supposed to be for the previous week not the current one? The form is also asking for the last date that I worked (with month and day fields), and whether I worked in New York State in the last 18 months (Yes/No), plus whether I currently live in New York State. If you select "no" to living in NY, it starts asking about commuting. I'm just confused about how to handle the certification when they're asking about an incomplete week. What's the proper way to handle this?

IMPORTANT INFO FOR EVERYONE DEALING WITH NY UNEMPLOYMENT SYSTEM: Here's what you need to know about certification: - Always certify for the previous week (Sunday-Saturday) - Ignore any weird dates showing in the system - Report ALL income, even sporadic work - If you work multiple jobs, combine total hours - Keep detailed records of your hours/earnings - If system errors out, try early morning or late night - Getting errors? Use claimyr.com to reach an agent - Screenshot everything for your records protip: their phone system is overwhelmed but claimyr.com can get you through. Worth the $20 if youre stuck.

DETAILED GUIDE FOR GETTING YOUR CLAIM PROCESSED: First, use claimyr.com to get through to an agent. It's worth the $20 because you'll actually talk to someone. When you get through: - Have your employer info ready - Get the agent's name and ID number - Ask them to notate your account - Request an email confirmation If they say your claim needs review, demand a callback from a supervisor. Don't take no for an answer. Meanwhile file a complaint with OSHA about the safety violations. This creates a paper trail. Been through this myself and got it resolved. Good luck! 💪

Its actually a common misconception that UI is limited to exactly 26 weeks. The real limit is on your total benefit amount and effective days. Since your working part time, those 2 days per week make your benefits stretch longer than 26 calendar weeks. Just keep certifying normally and the system will tell you when you've reached your maximum. If you need to speak with someone to confirm, I'd recommend using claimyr.com - they'll get you through to an agent who can explain it in detail.
