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!

honestly the whole system is designed to confuse people with all these acronyms and technical terms. they make it so complicated on purpose

Also remember you need to register with the NYS job search system and do at least 3 work search activities per week once your claim is approved. A lot of people don't realize this requirement until they get their first weekly claim form.

Just to add - make sure your bank account is in your name only. Joint accounts sometimes cause issues with the NYS Department of Labor direct deposit system. Also double-check that your bank accepts ACH transfers for unemployment benefits, some credit unions have weird rules about it.

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.

The whole eligibility system is a JOKE. They make it so complicated on purpose to discourage people from applying. I worked for 2 years and they still tried to deny me because of some technicality about my work schedule. Had to fight them for months just to get what I was entitled to.

•Same here, the system is designed to reject people first and ask questions later.

def check if you were classified as an employee vs independent contractor too. some restaurants try to pull that and if you were 1099 instead of W2 that could affect eligibility
