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!

You should definitely consider getting a lawyer especially if there's money involved. My brother tried to do his appeal alone and lost even though he had a good case. Sometimes it's worth the cost to have someone who knows the system.
While lawyers can be helpful, many successful appeals are handled pro se. It really depends on the complexity of the case and how comfortable you are presenting your side.

If you're having trouble reaching NYS Department of Labor about any 1099-G issues or discrepancies, I had good luck using Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get through to an actual agent. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Saved me hours of calling and getting busy signals when I needed to verify my tax documents.
sounds sketchy to me, why would you need a service to call unemployment?
It's legit - they basically handle the calling and waiting for you. Really helpful when you can't get through the normal way and need to resolve something time-sensitive like tax document errors.

I had a similar situation last year when my company downsized. I was worried about the same thing and actually called my old manager to ask. She told me not to worry about it at all and that they expected people to file for unemployment after the layoffs. If you're having trouble reaching NYS Department of Labor directly about questions like this, I recently discovered a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helps you get through to actual agents. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Really helpful when you need to talk to someone at NYS Department of Labor but can't get through on your own.
Thanks for the info! I might check that out if I have other questions about my claim.

omg this is so confusing, i just want to know if my benefits will get cut off early if unemployment drops too much in my area?? like if they decide the job market is 'good enough' does that mean no more weekly claims??
Your regular 26 weeks of UI benefits won't be affected by unemployment rates dropping. You'll get those regardless. It's only the Extended Benefits (additional weeks beyond 26) that depend on unemployment rate triggers.

I've been trying to get through to someone at NYS Department of Labor for weeks about my own claim and it's impossible! The phone system is a nightmare and I keep getting hung up on. Has anyone found a way to actually talk to a real person there?

•I had the same problem until I found this service called Claimyr that helps you get through to NYS Department of Labor agents. Check out claimyr.com - they have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Basically they handle all the calling and waiting for you, then connect you when an agent picks up. Saved me hours of frustration trying to reach someone about my adjudication issue.

Just wanted to add that even if you do qualify, you still have to meet the weekly requirements like doing job searches and being available for work. Don't quit unless you have another job lined up or you're sure you meet the good cause requirements.
