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 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.

Whether wages go up or down the big corporations always find ways to screw over workers. They'll use any excuse to cut jobs and then act like it's because of government policy. The unemployment system gets flooded and then they blame that on the wage increase too. It's all connected to keep working people down.

this is all super helpful everyone, thank you! one more question - when i file the weekly claims, is there a specific day i have to do it or can i do it anytime during the week?

I had similar issues when I filed last year. Honestly the whole process is frustrating because they don't explain things clearly. If you get stuck on any section, I found a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helped me get through to an actual NYS Department of Labor agent. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Way easier than trying to call yourself and getting busy signals for hours.
Thanks, I'll check that out if I can't get through on my own.

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.
