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!

I heard theres a new law coming that's supposed to streamline the whole unemployment process. Anyone know when that's supposed to take effect?

0 coins

I think it's supposed to be implemented next quarter, but who knows with how slow the government moves 🐌

Lol, I'll believe it when I see it. They've been promising improvements for years.

I swear, dealing with NYDOL is like playing whack-a-mole. Fix one problem, another pops up. Hang in there, OP. We're all in the same leaky boat 🚣‍♀️

Leaky boat is right. More like the Titanic at this point 🚢🧊

PSA: If you're having trouble with direct deposit, make sure your name on the unemployment claim EXACTLY matches your bank account name. Even a middle initial can mess it up.

Oh wow, I didn't even think of that. I'll double-check. Thanks!

Anyone else feel like we need a support group for dealing with NYDOL? 😅 Maybe we can all pitch in for a group therapy session lol

Thank you, that means a lot. It's been a rough few weeks and I really appreciate the support. 🙏

This is ridiculous. We pay taxes for this service and cant even use it. Has anyone tried contacting their local representatives? Maybe if enough of us complain, theyll do something about it.

0 coins

Good idea! I'm gonna email my rep right now. This is unacceptable.

0 coins

I tried that. Got a generic 'we're looking into it' response. But maybe if more people do it...

Guys I finally got through today after 3 weeks of trying! Keep at it, don't give up!

Congrats! 🎉 Any tips for the rest of us still stuck in phone hell?

Honestly, just persistence. I called 43 times today before I got through. It's exhausting but worth it.

Try early in the morning, like right when they open. That's how I finally got someone on the line.

I dont mean to be that guy, but are we sure its not a problem with OPs phone? Like maybe ur carrier is dropping the calls? Just a thought before blaming the unemployment office (even tho they do suck lol

0 coins

I considered that, but it's only happening with these calls. Everything else works fine. Plus, I've tried from different phones too. Pretty sure it's on their end.

0 coins

Ah gotcha. Yeah, sounds like its deffo their problem then. Sorry ur dealing with this bs man
