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!

ugh the unemployment system is so messed up... they make you jump through hoops even when you have legitimate reasons for leaving a toxic job. hopefully they approve your claim but be prepared for it to take forever

THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED ANYWAY!! They deny people for the stupidest reasons just to save money. I know someone who got denied because they marked the wrong box on ONE weekly claim. ONE BOX! And then it took months to appeal and get it fixed. Meanwhile they're supposed to survive on what?? Nothing??
While the system definitely has flaws, most denials do have legitimate reasons behind them. The key is understanding the requirements upfront and being very careful with your weekly certifications. Small mistakes can cause big problems unfortunately.

If you're having trouble reaching NYS Department of Labor to get more details about your claim, I had good luck with a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com). They help you get through to actual agents when the phone lines are swamped. There's a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Really helped me understand my claim status better.
Thanks, I'll check that out if I run into problems filing my claim!

Same thing here - disqualified with no clear reason. In my case it was because I had worked part-time while collecting benefits months ago and apparently didn't report it correctly on my weekly claims. Even though I thought I was doing everything right. The adjudication process took forever and then boom - disqualified. Now I'm appealing but who knows how long that will take.
Oh no, I did work a few days at a temp job last month. I reported it on my weekly claim but maybe I did something wrong?
Most common reasons for disqualification: 1) employer disputed your separation reason, 2) earnings not reported correctly on weekly claims, 3) not meeting work search requirements, 4) not available for work. You need to request a copy of your claim file from NYS Department of Labor to see exactly what triggered the disqualification. Then you can prepare a proper appeal with supporting documents.

I had similar confusion when I started my business last year. The key thing is keeping your federal and NYS Department of Labor filings synchronized. I use a payroll service now because trying to track both systems manually was a nightmare. They handle the quarterly deposits and annual filings for both federal and state. Worth the cost for peace of mind. If you need to contact NYS Department of Labor directly about your account setup, I used a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get through their phone lines quickly. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that explains how it works.

•How much does a payroll service typically cost for a small business? I'm trying to decide if it's worth it.

•Interesting about Claimyr - I've been trying to reach NYS Department of Labor for weeks to set up my employer account.

Just remember that if you don't file the federal form on time, the penalties are harsh. I learned this the hard way my first year in business.
