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 NYS Department of Labor system is a JOKE! They process everything slowly on purpose to save money. My claim has been 'under review' for three weeks now with ZERO communication. Meanwhile bills keep coming and they act like we don't matter!!

I feel your frustration but usually there's a specific reason for delays even if they don't communicate it well.

UPDATE: Just checked my account and the payment finally went through! Took 7 days total but got the full amount. Hopefully yours processes soon too.

the whole system is ridiculous tbh. I got denied the first time because apparently I didn't search for enough jobs even though I was searching every day. Had to appeal and wait another month. Make sure you keep detailed records of every job you apply to because they WILL ask for proof.

Ugh that sounds awful. How many jobs do you have to apply to each week?

0 coins

You need to make 3 work search contacts per week minimum. Keep a log with company name, position, date, and how you applied. Screenshots of online applications work as proof.

same boat here, filed 3 days ago and still showing pending

0 coins

Just remember you still have to be available and looking for full-time work even if you're working part-time. Don't let the part-time job interfere with your job search requirements or they could disqualify you for not being available.

0 coins

Good point! I'm still actively looking for full-time work. The part-time job is just to help with bills while I search.

The system is so confusing! I wish they just explained this stuff clearly instead of making us guess.

0 coins

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.

0 coins

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?

0 coins

I think the general rule is theft, violence, or deliberate rule breaking = no benefits. Everything else is case by case during adjudication.

0 coins

Wait is adjudication the same thing as an appeal? I'm so confused by all these terms and my claim has been sitting there for 3 weeks now with no updates

0 coins

No, adjudication is when they're reviewing your claim to make sure you meet eligibility requirements. An appeal is what you file if they deny your claim and you disagree with their decision. Adjudication usually takes 2-4 weeks depending on how complex your case is.

same here! except mine's been pending for almost a month now and I'm starting to panic about rent
