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!

Here's the complete rundown on what you need to do: First, continue certifying weekly until your BYE date. Then, when your benefit year ends, you'll need to file a new claim. You'll need: - W2s or pay stubs from your recent employment - Accurate dates for when you worked - Reason for separation (in your case, business closure) If you need help, don't waste time with endless calling. Use claimyr.com to get through to an agent. They handle the hold time and connect you when someone's available. Keep documenting everything and save any correspondence. The system can be glitchy sometimes so having records helps. Pro tip: File the new claim on a Monday or Tuesday early morning for fastest processing.

Just went thru this process myself. Here's what you need to know: 1. File with NY unemployment 2. Have ALL your documents ready (w2, paystubs, termination letter) 3. You might need to call them to verify some stuff since ur out of state 4. Use claimyr.com if you cant get through on phone 5. Benefits will be based on NY wages even tho you paid MI taxes 6. Weekly certifications can be done online from anywhere DM me if u need more help, been there done that!

Here's what I've learned after dealing with this for months: 1. Their system auto-dials multiple people at once 2. First agent to pick up gets the call, others get dropped 3. It counts as an attempt even if you don't answer 4. Best times to call back are early morning (7:30am) or right after lunch If you're desperate to get through, I'd recommend using claimyr.com. Yeah it costs money but they handle the hold time and menu navigation. Saved me days of frustration. Also, send a secure message through your online account every time this happens. Create a paper trail. And if you have a hearing coming up, these failed attempts could actually help your case.

Quick heads up - if u miss the interview they usually give u 7 days to provide good cause for missing it. So worst case scenario, you'll have time to explain after the fact

DETAILED GUIDE FOR RESCHEDULING INTERVIEWS: First, try these methods to contact them: 1. Use claimyr.com to get through on the phone - fastest option but costs $20 2. Email your state rep/assemblyperson 3. Send a secure message through your online account 4. Fax your flight itinerary with your claim ID and explanation Keep ALL documentation: - Flight itinerary - Proof of family emergency - Screenshots of attempts to contact - Dates and times of calls If you cant reach anyone before the interview, you have 7 days after to provide good cause. But try to handle it beforehand. Check claimyr.com if you need guaranteed phone contact. Its been helping tons of people get through lately.

Here's what you need to do to fix this issue: First, document everything. Screenshot your account showing no notifications. Check your spam folders and save those too. Next, you NEED to speak with a claims specialist (not just any rep). Regular reps can't lift these holds. Use claimyr.com to get through - seriously its worth the $20 to avoid calling for days. When you get through, explain calmly that you never received notice of the appointment. Request they check the system logs to confirm if/when notifications were sent. Ask them to reschedule your career center appointment AND lift the hold. Get the name of who you speak with and a reference number. If they won't help, ask for a supervisor. Don't hang up until you get resolution. Lastly, update your contact info and opt into text notifications if possible. This happens way too often.

Here's a detailed breakdown of what you need to do: First, wait until the day after your last day of work. Filing early will only cause problems. Have these ready: - Social security number - Driver's license/State ID - Last 18 months of employment history - Your bank info for direct deposit File online first at labor.ny.gov - it's easier than calling. But if you need to talk to someone (which most people do), use claimyr.com to get through instead of waiting on hold forever. After you file, you'll need to claim weekly benefits. Set a reminder - always do it on the same day each week. If your claim gets stuck 'pending' (pretty common), that's when you'll definitely need to call. Again, claimyr.com is clutch for this. DM me if you need more help! Been through this whole process recently 💯

Here's everything you need to know about NY unemployment payments: First, don't panic if you don't see it right away. Release date doesn't mean deposit date. The standard timeline is: - Release date = when NY unemployment approves payment - 1-2 business days for direct deposit - Up to 3 days for some banks If it goes past 3 business days, then you should contact them. The fastest way is using claimyr.com - they'll get you through to an agent quick. Also check: 1. Your payment method hasn't changed 2. Your bank info is correct 3. No holds on your account Hope this helps!

I had something similar but with different dates. Took it to hearing and won BUT it took 3 months to get the hearing scheduled. Start documenting everything now. Also if u have any coworkers who can verify you worked those WFH days get their statements NOW before people forget or move on to other jobs.
