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 โ€“ 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 ID.me verification done but still no payment after 2 months

Filed for unemployment 2 months ago and verified my identity through ID.me but still haven't received any payments. They keep telling me I need to do ID.me even though I already completed it. Called unemployment 5+ times and two weeks ago they said money would come in 1-2 weeks but still nothing in my account. Anyone else dealing with this or know what to do?

Have you tried reaching out to your state representative? They can sometimes help speed things up with unemployment issues.

I know its frustrating but DO NOT create a new account! that will only make things worse and flag you for more fraud reviews. just keep trying to reach them.

Here's what you need to do step by step: 1. Keep a copy of your fraud form submission (screenshot or confirmation number) 2. Call using claimyr.com to get through to an agent - regular phone lines are impossible 3. Have ready: SSN, old W2s, any old claim info you can find, proof of identity 4. Ask specifically for the PIN reset department 5. If first agent can't help, ask to speak with a supervisor I went through this exact thing last month. The system is ancient and terrible at handling old claims, but there are people who can fix it. Don't give up! claimyr.com saved me hours of hold time.

New York DOL Website Down - Can't Certify Unemployment Benefits Before Deadline

The unemployment website at applications.labor.ny.gov isn't loading at all today. Getting server errors and can't even get to the login page. Safari is showing "Safari can't open the page because it couldn't connect to the server." I've been trying all morning with different browsers but keep getting the same error. I need to certify my benefits this week and the deadline is approaching. Anyone else having this issue with the New York Department of Labor website or know what's going on? Is there any scheduled maintenance that wasn't announced? I've tried clearing my cache, using incognito mode, and even my phone's data connection but nothing is working.

Eva St. Cyr

Here's what you can try: 1. Clear browser cache and cookies 2. Try incognito mode 3. Check if your internet is stable 4. Try a different device 5. If nothing works, you'll need to call them The phone lines are always jammed but claimyr.com can help get through. They'll wait on hold and call you when an agent picks up. Costs money but worth it when the website is down like this. Also follow their Twitter for system updates - they usually post when there are widespread issues.

NYS DOL Text Says UI Benefits "Can Now Be Paid" - How Long Until First Payment Actually Arrives?

Just completed my unemployment phone interview yesterday, filed claim end of May. Got a text from NYS DOL today at 2:08 PM saying: "Your unemployment insurance (UI) benefits claim can now be paid. More information: https://on.ny.gov/uipay" I filed my claim at the end of May and had to wait until yesterday for my phone interview. Now that I've gotten this text message confirmation that my claim can be paid, I'm wondering how long until I actually see the first payment hit my account? The text doesn't give any timeframe, just says it "can now be paid" and provides a link for more information. Has anyone else gone through this process with NYS Department of Labor recently? How long after receiving this specific text message did you receive your first UI payment? I'm trying to plan my budget accordingly since it's been almost a month since I initially filed.
