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 ā 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!

Anyone else feel like they're playing unemployment roulette? Some people get paid right away, others wait months. Makes no sense
Fr fr. It's like a game show, but the prize is not being evicted šš
I had the same issue. Turns out there was an identity verification hold on my account. Had to upload more docs. Check ur account for any outstanding tasks
How do I check for outstanding tasks? I don't see anything obvious on my account
Should be under 'Messages' or 'To-Do'. If not there, might need to call :/

Pro tip: call right when they open. Like, set an alarm and everything. Sometimes you can get through faster that way.
Zoey Bianchi
I swear, dealing with NY unemployment is like playing the lottery. You never know when (or if) you'll hit the jackpot š°š
LOL too real. Except the odds are probably better with the actual lottery š

This happened to me last year. Turns out there was an identity verification issue they never told me about. Def keep calling and ask specifically if there are ANY holds or issues with your claim, even minor ones.
Mei Liu
ā¢Oh no, that sounds awful. How long did it take to resolve once you found out about the issue?
Yara Abboud
ā¢It took about 2 more weeks after I found out. Had to upload some extra docs. Such a headache š«

Pro tip: call right when they open. I always have better luck getting through early in the morning. Also, try the Claimyr service if you're really stuck. claimyr.com saved me a ton of time.

Have you tried sacrificing a goat to the unemployment gods? Might work better than their actual system šš®

This is why I always tell people to think twice before quitting a job, even for a "better opportunity". The system is rigged against workers, I swear.
Come on, you can't live your life in fear. Sometimes you gotta take risks to move forward in your career.
Zainab Omar
ā¢I get that, but the system should be more flexible to account for these situations. It's not fair to penalize people for trying to better themselves.
Yara Sayegh
Hey, has anyone used those unemployment lawyers? Are they worth it or just a waste of money?
I used one for my appeal and it was totally worth it. They know all the loopholes and how to present your case.
Paolo Longo
ā¢Nah, don't waste your money. Just be honest and persistent. You got this!

Pro tip: keep a folder with all ur unemployment stuff. Makes it way easier to find what u need when they ask for it. Trust me, ive been in this boat for months š£āāļø
Manny Lark
Does anyone know if they're still doing that $300 extra payment? I heard it ended but my cousin swears he's still getting it š¤·āāļø
Rita Jacobs
ā¢Nah, that ended a while ago. Your cousin's probably confused or getting something else.
Khalid Howes
ā¢The extra $300 is long gone, my dude. We're back to regular benefits now.

I heard they're updating their phone systems soon. Hopefully that'll make it easier to get through. Fingers crossed! š¤

ā¢I did this! It actually helped. Took a few weeks, but my rep's office was able to get someone from unemployment to call me back.
