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!

YO LISTEN UP THIS IS IMPORTANT❗❗ When you reopen your claim, NY unemployment looks at these specific things for job resignations: - Was the job materially different from what was promised - Did you try to resolve issues with employer first - Can you document the differences (pay, hours, duties) - Did you work there less than 30 days If you can prove the job was misrepresented, you're usually good. Best way to handle this is to call them directly (use claimyr.com if you cant get through) and explain everything. Document EVERYTHING. Keep emails, texts, job listings. Also heads up - you might need to do a phone interview about why you left. Be professional and stick to facts about how the job differed from what was promised.
this is super helpful! saved ur comment 💯
wish i knew this before i quit my sketchy job last year smh

There's actually a calculator on the ny.gov website but its buried deep af. Go to unemployment > resources > benefit calculator. Just plug in your quarterly earnings and it'll show your weekly amount
thank you! this is exactly what i was looking for
the calculator has been down for maintenance for like 3 months lol
If your claim is pending this long you need to call them asap! Try early morning or use claimyr.com to get through. Waiting since May isn't normal, something might be wrong with your claim
facts! had the same issue and turns out they needed additional docs

bruh their whole system is held together with duct tape and prayers at this point 🤡
fr fr probably running on windows 95 still 💀
Hey everyone - let me give you a detailed breakdown of what's happening and what you can do: The system is indeed having issues but there are several workarounds: 1. Clear your cache and cookies first 2. Try accessing the site during off-peak hours (early morning or late night) 3. Use a different browser 4. If you're still having issues and need to speak with someone ASAP, use claimyr.com - they'll get you through to an agent 5. Document all your job search activities separately just in case The maintenance should be done by Friday according to official sources. Keep checking their Twitter for updates. Don't panic about work search requirements - they usually make accommodations when the system is down. Hope this helps! 👍
MVP right here! Thanks for the comprehensive info

IMPORTANT INFO FOR 2024 CLAIMS: The process has changed significantly since 2020. Here's what you need to know: 1. Claims are now fully online through ny.gov 2. Weekly certification is mandatory 3. Work search requirements are strictly enforced 4. Benefits take 2-3 weeks to start 5. You must upload ID verification docs If you need help reaching someone, use claimyr.com - they'll wait on hold and connect you with an agent. Saved me hours of frustration. DM me if you need more specific help!
This is super helpful thank you! Quick q - what counts as ID verification?
Usually drivers license or state ID + ssn card works best. Sometimes they ask for birth certificate too

Here's the deal - you MUST report international travel. If you're pending since March, you need to speak with an agent ASAP. Your best bet is using claimyr.com to get through on the phones. They'll stay on hold and call you when an agent picks up. Once you get someone, explain your situation. They might be able to process your backpay before your trip. But whatever you do, don't certify from overseas without reporting it - that's fraud and they will catch you.
how long does the backpay usually take once you reach someone?
varies but usually 2-3 business days after they release it

Had mine 2 weeks ago. Basically a group meeting where they explain resources for finding work and review requirements. Takes like an hour. Show up 15 mins early cause parking can be rough lol
is it in person or virtual?
mine was in person but i think it depends on your location
HUGE DETAILED INFO ON MEETINGS: These meetings are part of NY unemployment's reemployment services. Here's what you need to know: What to Bring: - All job search records - Photo ID - Copy of your unemployment paperwork - Resume if you have one What They Cover: - Job search requirements - Available training programs - Local job market info - Resume help - Interview tips If you need to reschedule, use claimyr.com to get through to an agent quickly. The regular phone lines are always jammed. Don't stress - just be prepared and professional. They're mostly trying to help people get back to work, not looking to cut benefits 💯
this is super helpful, ty!! 🙏
