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!

NY.gov ID Error: System Claims I've Used Different Username Before, But It's My First Time. Help!
I'm having trouble with my NY.gov ID and I'm so frustrated! I tried to create an account but the system keeps telling me I've used a different username in the past. This is my first time ever using NY.gov ID, so I know that's not true. Has anyone else run into this issue? Any advice on how to get this resolved?

I work in IT (not for NY.gov tho) and I can tell you that these kinda systems are often held together with duct tape and prayers. It's probably some legacy database issue. Keep pushing and don't give up!

Pro tip: if u get an agent on the line DO NOT HANG UP no matter what. even if they say they cant help, ask to be transfered. stay on that line like ur life depends on it lol
This! 👆 I once stayed on hold for 4 hours, but I finally got my issue resolved. Sometimes you gotta play the long game.
Ugh, I'm so tired of this. Been trying to sort out an issue with my claim for months. Anyone else feeling completely burnt out by this whole process? 😫
Yep, right there with ya. It's like a part-time job just trying to get our benefits. Hang in there!
Same boat here. Its so draining. but we gotta keep pushing. dont let them win by giving up!

Protip: When you call, immediately ask for a tier 2 specialist. The first-level reps often can't help with backdating claims.
This is the way. Tier 2 specialists are the real MVPs. Saved me hours of frustration.
Am I the only one who thinks its ridiculous that we have to jump through so many hoops just to get what we're entitled to? The whole system needs an overhaul smh
Preach! 🙌 It's like they make it difficult on purpose to discourage people from claiming.
Totally agree. We need to start contacting our representatives about this. It's unacceptable.

Guys, I heard they're updating the system next week. Might be why everythings so messed up rn. Maybe wait a few days and try again?
Where did you hear this? I couldn't find any info about an update on their website.
My cousin works for the state (not unemployment tho) and she mentioned it. Take it with a grain of salt I guess 🤷♂️

idk if this helps but I had a similar issue. Turns out there was a glitch in their system and my SSN was entered wrong. Double check all your info when u get someone on the line!
This is why we need to overhaul the entire unemployment system. It's not built to handle the volume of claims we're seeing. We should be pushing our reps for real change!
Preach! 🙌 The system's been broken for years, but now it's impossible to ignore.
Yeah but good luck getting politicians to care about fixing it. They only pay attention when it affects them directly 🙄

Pro tip: if you're really stuck, try reaching out to your local state representative's office. They sometimes have connections and can help push things along with ny unemployment.
That's a great idea, I hadn't thought of that. Thanks!

Hey OP, just a heads up - make sure your husband keeps documentation of everything. Severance letter, pay stubs, all of it. ny unemployment might ask for proof later and its a pain if you don't have it handy.
Thanks for the advice! We'll make sure to keep everything organized. Better safe than sorry!

I had luck reaching someone by calling exactly at 7:59am and repeatedly hitting the option to speak to a rep. Took a few tries but I got through eventually!
This is the way. Early bird gets the... unemployment agent? 😂

Has anyone heard about the new bill they're trying to pass? Supposedly it's gonna streamline the whole unemployment process. Might help with issues like this in the future.
