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!

If you're having trouble reaching NYS Department of Labor to get clarification on any disqualification or to check your eligibility status, I had good luck using claimyr.com recently. They help you get through to an actual agent instead of dealing with the busy signals and automated system. There's a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Saved me hours of calling and redialing.
That's interesting, I didn't know services like that existed. Might be worth it since I can never get through on the phone.

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.

just file your claim already. employers pay unemployment insurance for a reason. if they didnt want to deal with claims they shouldnt hire people. its not your problem what it costs them

I had trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor when my claim got stuck in adjudication after being fired. Kept getting disconnected after waiting on hold for hours. Eventually found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that actually got me connected to a real person at NYS Department of Labor in like 15 minutes. They have a video demo showing how it works: https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI. Might be worth checking out if you run into phone issues.
Thanks for the tip! I'll keep that in mind if I have trouble reaching them. Hopefully the online filing process goes smoothly.
never heard of that service but honestly anything that helps you actually talk to someone at NYS Department of Labor sounds worth it

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.

Been paying into this system for 15 years as a small business owner and the rates keep going up. At least now I understand why - supporting people like you when they need it most. Good luck with your claim!
