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 NYS Department of Labor system is such a pain honestly. I got fired from my warehouse job for being 'too slow' and it took 6 weeks to get approved. They make you jump through so many hoops even when it's obvious you deserve benefits. But yeah definitely file anyway because you never know.

The NYS Department of Labor system is SO frustrating! I've been trying to get through to someone for weeks about my claim status and can never reach a human. The automated system just keeps giving me the runaround. Has anyone found a way to actually talk to someone there?
I had the same problem until I found this service called Claimyr. They help you get through to NYS Department of Labor agents by phone - you can check it out at claimyr.com. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. I was able to get my claim status updated within a few days of using their service.

I had a similar issue and couldn't get through to anyone at NYS Department of Labor for weeks. Finally found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that actually got me connected to a real person who explained exactly what was wrong with my claim. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Turned out I was making a simple mistake in how I was reporting my availability that was causing the system to flag me. Got it sorted out the same day.
How much does something like that cost? I'm already stressed about money and don't want to spend more if I don't have to.
It was worth it for me since I was losing weeks of benefits trying to figure it out on my own. The peace of mind knowing I was doing everything correctly was huge.

THIS SYSTEM IS SO FRUSTRATING!! Why can't they just send us a clear notice with our end date?? I've been stressed about this for weeks and had to figure it out myself by counting backwards from my claim start date. NYS Department of Labor needs to do better with communication!
seriously! i shouldnt have to do math to figure out when my benefits end

just apply and see what happens, worst they can do is deny you right??

•That's not good advice. Filing a fraudulent claim can result in penalties and you could be required to pay back any benefits received. Better to understand the requirements first.

I think there might be other programs for families in your situation. Have you looked into SNAP benefits or WIC? Sometimes there are state assistance programs that might help bridge the gap while your husband looks for work.
