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 a joke honestly. I brought everything they asked for and they STILL found reasons to delay my claim for over a month. Just be prepared for the runaround no matter what you bring.
That's discouraging but I guess I should prepare for delays. Did you eventually get your benefits sorted out?

Just tell him to apply honestly. The worst they can say is no and then you know for sure. NYS Department of Labor will review his work history and wages automatically when he files the claim. If he doesn't qualify they'll send him a determination letter explaining why. But from what you described it sounds like he should be fine. Restaurant workers get laid off all the time and most of them qualify for benefits.
One thing to mention - make sure he applies as soon as possible! You can't get retroactive benefits for weeks before you file your claim. So even if he's not 100% sure about eligibility, it's better to apply now and find out rather than wait and potentially lose out on weeks of benefits.
Good point! I'll tell him to file the application this week. Better safe than sorry with the timing.

THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO MAKE YOU JUMP THROUGH HOOPS! They don't care if you file today or next week - they're going to make you wait and question everything anyway. But definitely don't wait too long because they love finding reasons to deny claims. Performance issues = they're going to assume you did something wrong until you prove otherwise.

The whole system is so confusing! I still don't understand why they use quarters instead of just looking at your annual salary. Makes no sense to me.

ugh the whole system is a nightmare. I've been waiting 3 weeks for my pending resolution too and nobody can tell me anything useful. At least you worked retail management - I was a temp worker so they're probably making it even more complicated for me

From what I understand, 'pending resolution' typically indicates they're verifying employment details or investigating a potential eligibility issue. For store closures, this is usually routine verification that can take 3-4 weeks on average. The good news is that if you're approved, you'll receive retroactive payments for all the weeks you've been filing. Make sure you continue filing your weekly claims and keep your job search log updated in case they request it during the review process.
