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!

The whole system is a joke anyway. They make you jump through hoops even when your employer fires you for no good reason. I got terminated for 'not being a good fit' after 6 months and had to fight for benefits because they claimed it was performance related.
That sounds frustrating, but 'not being a good fit' usually isn't misconduct unless there were specific policy violations. Did you appeal their initial decision?

Ugh the NYS Department of Labor system is so messed up. They disqualify people left and right and then make it impossible to fix their mistakes. Hope you can get this resolved but honestly don't get your hopes up too high.

AI taking jobs is the new normal unfortunately. At least you can collect while you figure things out. I've been on unemployment twice in the past three years because of automation and downsizing. The system isn't really designed for this kind of mass displacement but what can you do.
Wait, does this mean my job could be next?? I work in accounting and I keep hearing about AI doing taxes and bookkeeping. Should I be worried about my position? How do I even prepare for something like this?

THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO CONFUSE PEOPLE!! They make the benefit calculation so complicated on purpose. I've been dealing with unemployment for years and they ALWAYS find ways to pay you less than you expect. Don't trust their estimates until you see actual payments in your account.

I'm going through something similar right now! Got fired for missing too many days when my car broke down and couldn't afford to fix it right away. My claim has been in adjudication for 3 weeks now and I'm going crazy waiting. Did you already file or are you still thinking about it?

•Haven't filed yet, was trying to figure out if it's even worth it. Sounds like I should just go ahead and apply. Good luck with your case!

•Definitely file. Even if you're unsure about eligibility, let NYS Department of Labor make that determination. You can't get benefits you don't apply for.

Had a friend who got fired for attendance and couldn't reach anyone at NYS Department of Labor for weeks to check on her claim status. She ended up using some service called Claimyr that helped her get through to an actual agent. Think it was claimyr.com or something. They have a video demo showing how it works at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI. Might be worth checking out if you run into issues getting through to them.

•I've heard good things about services like that. Sometimes it's the only way to actually talk to someone when the phone lines are jammed.
