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!

Just make sure you file your claim as soon as possible after you're terminated! You can't backdate unemployment benefits in New York, so every week you wait is money you're losing. Even if you think your employer might contest it, file anyway - you can always appeal if they deny your initial claim.

The key thing is whether it was misconduct or not. Being late can be tricky - if you had warnings and kept doing it anyway, they might consider it willful misconduct. But if there were circumstances beyond your control or it wasn't that serious, you could still qualify. When I had issues reaching NYS Department of Labor agents to ask questions about my case, I used this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helps you get through to an actual person. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Really helped me get answers quickly instead of waiting on hold forever.
I'll check that out if I have trouble getting through to them. Did you end up getting approved?
Yeah I did get approved eventually. Took about 3 weeks for them to make a decision but it worked out.

Just want to add that you should inform your bankruptcy attorney about your unemployment claim right away. They'll need to include it in your means test calculation and list it as income on Schedule I. Also make sure you understand that while your current unemployment is protected, any future wages from employment you get after filing might be subject to different rules depending on whether you file Chapter 7 or Chapter 13.
I was planning on Chapter 7. So if I find a job while the bankruptcy is pending, that could complicate things?
In Chapter 7, wages earned after filing are generally yours to keep, but your attorney will explain the specifics. The key is being upfront about everything from the start.

honestly just apply. i thought i wouldnt qualify either but i did and got like $280 a week for 6 months. saved my butt while job hunting. the application asks all the right questions and theyll tell you if you qualify or not. no harm in trying

Just remember you'll need to do the weekly claims every week and prove you're looking for work. It's not just free money - there are requirements you have to meet to keep getting benefits. But yeah, definitely worth applying if you think you might qualify.
