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 SO frustrating! Employers protest claims all the time just to delay payments even when they know they're wrong. The whole system is rigged against workers. You shouldn't have to jump through hoops to prove you were legitimately laid off!

stay calm during the hearing and stick to the facts. dont get emotional even if your employer says things that upset you. just present your evidence clearly and answer the judges questions honestly

I had to deal with getting through to NYS Department of Labor when my claim went into adjudication. Calling their phone system was impossible - kept getting busy signals or hung up on after waiting an hour. Finally used a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that actually got me connected to an agent. There's a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Really helped me get answers about my contested claim status.

How much did that cost though? I'm already broke from losing my job.

It was worth it to get through and find out what was happening with my claim. Way better than sitting in limbo not knowing anything.

same boat here last month, my manager tried to scare me by saying i wouldnt get anything. ended up getting approved after they investigated. just make sure you file right away!

If you're having trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor to ask questions about reporting work, I found this service called Claimyr that helps you actually reach a live agent. Check out claimyr.com - they have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. I used it last month when I had questions about reporting temporary work and it saved me hours of trying to call.

Never heard of that before. Sounds too good to be true tbh

I was skeptical too but it actually worked. Way better than sitting on hold for hours or having the system hang up on you.

just be honest about it... my cousin tried to hide some side work and got caught when they audited his claim randomly. not worth the stress

The whole system is a joke honestly. They make it so hard to get basic information and the website crashes half the time when you try to file your weekly claim. I've been waiting 6 weeks for my appeal hearing and still nothing!

hang in there, appeals do take forever but you'll get backpay once it's resolved

Just remember to keep good records of everything - save confirmation numbers when you file weekly claims, keep screenshots of your job search log, and document any communication with NYS Department of Labor. You'll need this stuff if any questions come up later.

Just wanted to add that if you need help accessing any NYS Department of Labor data or services, I had good luck using Claimyr (claimyr.com) when I needed to get through to someone at the department quickly. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Made it much easier than trying to call during business hours when the lines are always busy.

Same here! Mid-September sounds right for August data release.
