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 NYS Department of Labor system is so frustrating!! I've been waiting 4 weeks for my claim to be approved and they keep asking for more documentation. First they wanted my separation letter, then they wanted proof of my previous wages, now they want something else. It's like they're trying to make it impossible to get benefits!
That sounds like your claim went into adjudication, which can definitely take longer. What reason did they give for the separation? Some circumstances trigger additional review.

The NYS Department of Labor system is completely broken. They put everyone in adjudication and then take forever to process anything. I've been waiting 4 weeks and still no answers!
I feel you, this is so stressful when you need the money now
While you're waiting, make sure you keep certifying your weekly claims even though you're not getting paid yet. If your claim gets approved, you'll receive back payments for all the weeks you certified. Also double-check that you're meeting the job search requirements - you need to log 3 work search activities per week in the system.
Thanks, I have been doing my weekly certifications. Good to know about the back pay - that's a relief at least.

Wait is adjudication the same thing as an appeal? I'm so confused by all these terms and my claim has been sitting there for 3 weeks now with no updates
No, adjudication is when they're reviewing your claim to make sure you meet eligibility requirements. An appeal is what you file if they deny your claim and you disagree with their decision. Adjudication usually takes 2-4 weeks depending on how complex your case is.

I had trouble reaching NYS Department of Labor when my employer contested my claim and I needed to provide additional information. Kept getting busy signals for weeks. Finally used this 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. Saved me so much frustration trying to get my questions answered.
Never heard of that but anything is better than calling 50 times a day and getting hung up on

The NYS Department of Labor system is SO broken. They'll find any excuse to deny you or drag out the process. I've been fighting an adjudication for 6 weeks now over something completely ridiculous. They act like they're doing you a favor when it's YOUR money that you paid into the system!

•They're questioning whether I was 'available for work' because I mentioned I was taking a certification course. Apparently trying to improve your skills makes you unavailable according to them. It's absolutely ridiculous.

Yeah I got mine approved pretty easily but then screwed up one of my weekly claims and they stopped everything. Had to call and explain what happened but once I did that they fixed it right away. Just be super careful with those weekly certifications.
