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!

This is fascinating from a policy perspective. The unemployment insurance system established then required states to create their own programs - that's why we have NYS Department of Labor handling our claims rather than a federal system. Each state had to meet federal standards but could implement their own procedures for things like adjudication and job search requirements.
Interesting! So the state-by-state approach we have now was intentional from the beginning, not something that evolved later.

If you do have trouble reaching NYS Department of Labor by phone, I recently discovered this service called Claimyr at claimyr.com that helps you get through to agents. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. I used it when my claim was stuck in adjudication and actually got to talk to someone within a few hours instead of spending days trying to call. Might be worth checking out if you run into issues.
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Hopefully I won't need it but good to know there are options
never heard of that but anything is better than sitting on hold for hours

I had so much trouble trying to figure this out when I lost my job! The NYS Department of Labor website lists all the disqualifications but it's confusing. I kept calling and getting busy signals for weeks. Finally used this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helps you actually get through to speak with an agent. They have a demo video at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Way easier than trying to call myself.
Thanks! I'll check that out if we can't figure this out online. Did they help you determine if you were eligible?

I had a similar issue last year where I couldn't get through to NYS Department of Labor no matter how many times I called. A friend told me about this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helps you actually reach agents at unemployment offices. I was skeptical at first but tried it and got connected to someone at NYS Department of Labor within like 10 minutes. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. I was able to set up my payment plan the same day instead of spending weeks trying to get through on my own.
This sounds too good to be true but at this point I'm desperate. Is it expensive to use?
It's worth it for the time it saves honestly. Way better than spending hours on hold or getting disconnected.

If you're having trouble reaching NYS Department of Labor to get clarification on your specific situation, I found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helped me get through to an actual agent. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Really saved me hours of calling and getting busy signals when I had questions about my claim status.

•That might be helpful, I've been trying to call them for days about something else and can never get through.

Just to add - if you do end up owing taxes on your unemployment benefits, you can usually set up a payment plan with the IRS if you can't pay it all at once. Don't stress too much about it, lots of people are in the same boat!
