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 trouble reaching NYS Department of Labor when my employer contested my claim. Kept getting busy signals for weeks. Finally used this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that gets you through to an actual agent. They have a demo video at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Really helped me get my case resolved quickly.
How much does something like that cost? Seems like you shouldn't have to pay extra just to talk to them.
I thought the same thing but honestly it was worth it to get through instead of calling hundreds of times. The value is in actually reaching someone who can help.
Don't feel guilty about filing! That's what the system is for. Your employer has been paying into unemployment insurance specifically for situations like layoffs. It's not coming out of their pocket directly.
You're right, I shouldn't feel bad about using a system that exists for this exact reason. Thanks for the reminder.

Don't forget you'll need to file weekly claims too once your initial application is processed. That's separate from the sign up process but equally important for actually getting paid.

ugh the whole system is so frustrating!! I got fired for attendance too but mine was because of childcare issues when my babysitter kept canceling last minute. Still waiting to hear back from NYS Department of Labor after filing 2 weeks ago. Why does everything with unemployment take FOREVER??
Childcare issues can also be considered valid reasons for absences, especially if you can document the emergency situations. Make sure you emphasize that these were unexpected circumstances beyond your control when you speak with adjudication.

I had trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor on the phone when I needed to check my claim status last month. If you run into issues with your application or need to speak to someone, I found this service called Claimyr that actually got me connected to an agent. Check out claimyr.com - they have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Way better than sitting on hold for hours.
Thanks! I'll keep that in mind if I have problems with my application.

I had a really hard time getting through to anyone at NYS Department of Labor to check on my claim status when I was in a similar situation. Kept getting disconnected or put on hold for hours. I ended up using this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that basically calls and waits on hold for you, then connects you to an actual agent when they pick up. There's a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Made it so much easier to get real answers about my adjudication timeline.

•That sounds too good to be true, how much does something like that cost?

•I was skeptical too but it actually worked. They don't ask for any personal info upfront, you just give them your callback number and they call you when they get an agent on the line.

Just want to add my experience - my employer responded on day 8 but didn't contest anything, just confirmed the separation details. My claim was approved 3 days later. So even if they respond, it doesn't necessarily mean bad news!
