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!

tried calling 48 times today... might have to try that claimyr thing everyone keeps talking about
do it! saved me hours of headache
Had the exact same problem last month! Here's what finally worked for me - I had to update my browser AND disable all extensions (especially ad blockers). The NY system is super picky about that stuff. Also try using a different device if you have one available. I was banging my head against the wall for days until I tried my old laptop and boom, worked instantly. Don't give up on the direct deposit - that KeyBank card will nickel and dime you to death!

Protip: you can check your payment history on the website under 'View Payment History'. It'll show if its been released yet
this ☝️ saves so much anxiety checking ur bank account every 5 mins lol
Just wanted to add that if you're worried about timing, the NY DOL website also has a "Payment Release Calendar" that shows which days payments typically get processed. Really helpful for planning around weekends and holidays. Also, some banks like Capital One and Ally tend to process ACH transfers a day earlier than the big banks.

Just want to say hang in there - the waiting is the worst part but most claims do get approved eventually if you were legitimately laid off or fired without cause.
I'm going through the exact same thing right now! Filed my claim two weeks ago and it's still showing "adjudication in progress." I called the main NYS DOL number multiple times but can never get through - it either hangs up or puts me on hold for hours. Has anyone had luck calling at specific times of day? I'm wondering if there are better hours to try reaching them. Also, @StellarSurfer, did you get laid off or was it a different separation reason? I'm hoping that makes a difference in processing time.

I'm also in aerospace and got laid off from a propulsion systems company last month. The market is definitely tough right now - I've been tracking openings on Indeed and LinkedIn and there's maybe 2-3 new postings per week for our skill level in the whole NYC metro area. What's helped me with the NYS Department of Labor job search requirements is reaching out to former colleagues who moved to other companies, even if they don't have openings. Those networking contacts count toward your weekly requirement and sometimes they know about positions that aren't posted yet. Also consider defense contractors doing work outside traditional aerospace - some are hiring for space/satellite projects.

Same boat here! Certified Wednesday and still waiting. At least I'm not the only one dealing with this delay.

I work for a payroll company and we see this delay with NYS Department of Labor payments pretty regularly, especially on weeks with high volume. The system can get backlogged and payments that normally process in 2-3 days can take up to 5-7 business days. Since you certified Tuesday, I'd give it until early next week before panicking. The good news is that when it does come through, it will include the full amount you're owed. If you're really strapped for cash, some banks offer emergency overdraft protection that might help cover your rent until the payment arrives.
