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!

Just remember you still have to be available and looking for full-time work even if you're working part-time. Don't let the part-time job interfere with your job search requirements or they could disqualify you for not being available.
Good point! I'm still actively looking for full-time work. The part-time job is just to help with bills while I search.

If you run into issues contacting NYS Department of Labor about your application status, I had success using a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helped me get through to an actual agent. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. I was stuck trying to reach someone for weeks about my adjudication status and this got me connected within a few hours. Really helpful when you need to speak to someone directly about approval requirements or claim issues.
Interesting, never heard of that before. Did they charge you anything or is it free?
honestly the approval process is such a pain... they make you jump through so many hoops just to get benefits you've already paid into through your taxes. I got denied twice before finally getting approved and it was just because of paperwork technicalities. make sure EVERYTHING is filled out correctly or they'll find some reason to reject you
That's exactly what I'm worried about! What kind of paperwork issues caused your denials?

Ugh the NYS Department of Labor system is so messed up. They disqualify people left and right and then make it impossible to fix their mistakes. Hope you can get this resolved but honestly don't get your hopes up too high.

THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO CONFUSE PEOPLE!! They make the benefit calculation so complicated on purpose. I've been dealing with unemployment for years and they ALWAYS find ways to pay you less than you expect. Don't trust their estimates until you see actual payments in your account.

The whole system is such a mess honestly. I filed three months ago and STILL dealing with adjudication issues. Good luck getting anyone on the phone at NYS Department of Labor - you'll be on hold for hours just to get disconnected.

•What kind of adjudication issues are you having? Sometimes there are things you can do to speed it up.

Just went through this myself last month! The my.ny.gov portal is pretty user-friendly once you get logged in. Make sure you answer all the questions accurately about why you were separated from your job - being laid off vs fired vs quit makes a difference in how they process your claim.
