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!

I HATE this pending resolution nonsense! They never explain what they're actually looking at or how long it will take. The whole NYS Department of Labor system is designed to frustrate people into giving up on their claims. Been dealing with this bureaucratic nightmare for months.
I understand the frustration but getting angry won't help. The system is overwhelmed but most claims do get resolved eventually. Just have to be patient unfortunately.
Pending resolution could mean they're verifying your employment history with your last employer. Sometimes employers don't respond quickly to requests for information, which can delay the process. Make sure you have all your documentation ready in case they ask for additional proof of your work history or separation reason.
That makes sense. My last employer was pretty disorganized so they probably took forever to respond to NYS Department of Labor.

The system is so messed up though! They make you jump through all these hoops and then half the time your claim gets held up in adjudication for weeks with no explanation. I swear they design it to be confusing on purpose so people give up.

tell him to file no matter what!! the worst they can say is no but if he doesn't file he gets nothing for sure. I got fired for being late too much and still got benefits because they couldn't prove it was willful misconduct
This whole system is so confusing. I thought if you get fired you automatically can't get unemployment. Good to know that's not always true. The NYS Department of Labor really needs to make this stuff clearer for people.
It's definitely confusing but the basic rule is that you can get benefits unless you were fired for misconduct. Things like poor performance, attendance issues without warnings, or company downsizing usually don't count as misconduct. Only things like theft, violence, or repeatedly ignoring direct orders typically disqualify you.

The whole system is designed to give you as little as possible while making it confusing AF to understand why. They use all these complicated formulas and base periods when they could just say 'we're giving you the minimum we can get away with legally

THIS SYSTEM IS SO FRUSTRATING!! Why can't they just send us a clear notice with our end date?? I've been stressed about this for weeks and had to figure it out myself by counting backwards from my claim start date. NYS Department of Labor needs to do better with communication!

You should be able to see your claim end date somewhere in your my.ny.gov account. Check under the claim details section. Mine showed both my benefit year end date and when I'd hit 26 weeks.
