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!

the whole system is ridiculous tbh. I got denied the first time because apparently I didn't search for enough jobs even though I was searching every day. Had to appeal and wait another month. Make sure you keep detailed records of every job you apply to because they WILL ask for proof.
Ugh that sounds awful. How many jobs do you have to apply to each week?
You need to make 3 work search contacts per week minimum. Keep a log with company name, position, date, and how you applied. Screenshots of online applications work as proof.

The whole system is messed up anyway. Employers always try to fight legitimate claims to keep their rates low, then act like we're stealing from them when we file. Meanwhile we worked and earned those benefits through our employment. NYS Department of Labor should make it clearer that this isn't charity - it's insurance we're entitled to.
yeah my old boss acted like i was personally robbing him when i filed

I've been trying to reach someone at NYS Department of Labor for three weeks about my claim status and it's impossible! The phone lines are constantly busy and the online messaging system never gets responses. This is ridiculous - how are we supposed to resolve anything?
I had the same problem until I found this service called Claimyr that actually gets you through to NYS Department of Labor agents. Check out claimyr.com - they have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. I was skeptical at first but it actually connected me to an agent in under 10 minutes when I'd been trying for weeks on my own.
The whole system is broken if you ask me. They're quick to send overpayment notices but take forever to approve legitimate claims. It's like they assume everyone is trying to cheat the system.
I get the frustration but there are federal requirements they have to follow for benefit integrity. The focus on preventing improper payments isn't just about being difficult - it's about maintaining the program's funding.

Wait I'm confused - if you get fired do you still have to do the job search requirements? I thought that was only if you quit or got laid off. This whole unemployment thing is so complicated!!!
Yes, you still need to meet job search requirements regardless of why you're unemployed. NYS Department of Labor requires you to actively look for work and document your job search activities for your weekly claims.

you can also get it if your job eliminates your position entirely even if they offer you something else thats way different or pays way less. happened to my friend when her company restructured and they wanted to move her from marketing manager to receptionist at half the pay

Don't forget about situations like workplace discrimination or retaliation. If you quit because of illegal treatment by your employer, that's considered good cause. But you need solid documentation and it's harder to prove than a straightforward layoff.

•Good to know! In my case it's just budget cuts so should be straightforward. Appreciate all the info everyone.
