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!

Listen up - here's what you need to know about career advisor meetings and benefits: First, congratulations on the new job! However, you should absolutely handle this properly to protect your previous benefits. Here's why: - Missing mandatory meetings can trigger a benefits review - They can retroactively disqualify you and demand repayment - The system flags non-compliance automatically Best options: 1. Attend the meeting (safest option) 2. Call and explain your situation (use claimyr.com if you can't get through - totally worth the $20) 3. Submit proof of employment through your online account DON'T just ghost the meeting. That's the worst thing you can do. The NY unemployment system is looking for any reason to claw back benefits. Cover yourself and do this right.

Here's what worked for me and others I know - comprehensive guide: First, try Claimyr.com if you're desperate and don't mind paying $20. They'll wait on hold and connect you to an agent. Free methods: - Call exactly at 8:00 AM - Use phone menu options 1, then 9, then 2 - Email your state representative - Message them on Twitter (they sometimes respond) - Try calling on Wednesday afternoons (usually less busy) DON'T waste time with the automated system. You need a real person for most issues. Let me know if you need more specific details about any of these methods.

Missing 7 weeks of unemployment payments ($4,200) between February-March 2023 despite recent payments being released

Just got my claims released but there's a big gap in my payments. Missing about 7 weeks between February 5th and March 26th, 2023. My weekly benefit rate is $604. The payments after March 26th are coming through fine but there's this weird gap. I can see in my payment history that all my recent weeks were released on 05/05/2023 via Direct Deposit: - Week Ending 04/30/2023: $604.00 (4 effective days) - Week Ending 04/23/2023: $604.00 (4 effective days) - Week Ending 04/16/2023: $604.00 (4 effective days) - Week Ending 04/09/2023: $604.00 (4 effective days) - Week Ending 04/02/2023: $604.00 (4 effective days) - Week Ending 03/26/2023: $604.00 (4 effective days) Then there's this big gap until: - Week Ending 02/05/2023: $0.00 (4 effective days) - Listed as "Waiting week" with release date 05/03/2023 I qualify for 4 effective days each week to receive my total weekly benefit rate. The system says "For each day in the week that you are not eligible to receive benefits you will receive one less effective day which is equivalent to one fourth of your weekly benefit rate." It also mentions "You can receive a maximum of 104 effective days on your claim." I've checked and my Benefit Year Ending date hasn't passed. I understand that if I remain unemployed after the BYE date, I would need to file a new claim immediately. The payment history shows all my recent payments as "Direct Deposit" but I'm missing those payments between February 5th and March 26th. That's about 7 weeks of payments at $604 each, which is over $4,200! Anyone know what could be causing this gap? Is it because of the "waiting week" notation? Should I contact KeyBank Customer Service at (866) 295-2955 or should I call the unemployment office directly? I need to get this fixed ASAP as I'm counting on that money.

ny unemployment system is such a joke fr like why they make everything so complicated 🤡

Unemployment determination letter shows $0.00 benefit amount - still processing since 04/10, how long until actual payments?

I just lost my job and filed for unemployment on 04/10/2023. Got my monetary determination letter but I'm confused because everything shows $0.00 for weekly benefit amount and $0.00 for maximum amount payable. My benefit year ending date shows as 04/14/2024 and I have 104 effective days remaining. The letter is dated 05/02/2023 and it states: "We are continuing to work on your application and are determining the amount of benefits you will receive. You may get a call from us if we require further information. You will receive a status update as your application progresses through the system." It also has this information about Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation: "Weekly payments for $600 showing "0" under the "Effective Days" column, and Debit Card or Direct Deposit under the "Type" column, are the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) payments." There's also an explanation about effective days: "Each day in a week (Monday through Sunday) that you qualify for benefits is called an effective day. There is a maximum of 4 effective days each week, and you must qualify for all 4 effective days in order to receive your total." Anyone know how long this usually takes to get actual payments? I started my claim April 10th and it's now been weeks with no updates. Getting worried since I have bills piling up and need to know when I might actually see any money. Has anyone else received a $0.00 determination initially and then had it updated later?

u need 2 call them asap. dont wait. the longer u wait the longer itll take trust

Here's the deal with late claims (I work in HR and deal with this alot): First off, always try to claim on your regular day. But if you're late: - Payment usually processes 1-3 business days after claiming - Sometimes can take up to 5 business days - If nothing after a week, definitely call them - Use claimyr.com if you cant get through on phones - Next week claim on your normal day to get back on schedule The system is pretty rigid but they will pay you, just might take longer than usual.

Here's the detailed breakdown of what happens after your waiting week: - Waiting week gets processed (yours was 4/24) - First payment usually releases 2-3 business days after - Direct deposit takes 1-2 additional business days - Debit card can take 7-10 days to arrive in mail If you don't see anything by next week, highly recommend using claimyr.com to get someone on the phone. Way better than trying to call yourself. Make sure you keep certifying every week between Sunday-Saturday. Missing a certification will delay everything!
