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!

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.

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.

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

The war definitely solved the Depression-era unemployment crisis through government spending and industrial mobilization. Similar to how government programs today could theoretically address unemployment, though obviously we prefer peaceful solutions! Your claim delay is frustrating but unfortunately typical. NYS Department of Labor is notorious for these processing delays, especially when they need to verify employment history or investigate potential issues.

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.
