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 had issues getting through to NYS Department of Labor when I had questions about my 1099-G form. Kept getting busy signals for weeks. Finally used this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that gets you connected to an actual agent. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Made it so much easier to get my tax questions answered directly.
That's really helpful! I've been trying to call them about my account but can never get through. I'll check out that service.

just went through this whole thing with my employer saying i was fired for misconduct when i was clearly laid off due to slow business. took forever to get through to nys department of labor but eventually they ruled in my favor. employers will try anything to avoid paying higher ui taxes
To directly answer your original question - there's no specific dollar amount per claim. It depends on the employer's payroll size, their claims history, and current UI tax rates. A restaurant with high turnover might already be paying close to the maximum rate of 9.9%, while a stable company with few claims might pay the minimum. Your individual claim gets added to their experience rating calculation for future years.
Thanks for the detailed explanation! Makes me feel less guilty about filing since they're not paying my benefits directly out of pocket.

Just report the work when you file your weekly claim! You'll probably still get some benefits if it's part-time. The partial benefit formula lets you earn up to a certain amount before your UI gets reduced. Better to do it right than risk the penalties later.
Yeah definitely report it. I was paranoid about this too when I got a temp job but reporting it was no big deal. They just adjusted my weekly benefit amount based on what I earned. The NYS Department of Labor system is set up to handle people working part-time while collecting.
That's reassuring to hear. I was worried they'd cut me off completely for any work at all.

The whole unemployment system is designed to deny claims and make people give up. They know most people can't afford to wait months for appeals. It's disgusting how they treat people who are already struggling financially.
hang in there - appeals do work if you have the right documentation. also make sure you keep filing your weekly claims even while the appeal is pending or you'll lose those weeks
Wait really? I stopped filing because I thought there was no point since I was denied. Can I still file for the weeks I missed?

Wait I thought if you worked long enough you automatically qualified? This is confusing because my neighbor said she got unemployment after retiring but maybe she was laid off and I misunderstood.

•Length of work history determines how much you can receive and for how long, but you still need to meet the basic eligibility requirements. Your neighbor was probably laid off or terminated, not voluntarily retired.

This whole system is broken honestly. You pay into unemployment insurance your whole career but can't use it when you need to make a major life decision like retiring. Meanwhile people who get fired for cause sometimes still collect benefits.
