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!

Also make sure you have accurate gross wages for each employer, not just net pay. NYS Department of Labor calculates your benefit amount based on gross wages, and if you report the wrong amounts it can delay your claim or create overpayment issues later. Keep all your documentation in case they need to verify anything during adjudication.

I had to deal with this when I couldn't reach anyone at NYS Department of Labor about a disputed claim affecting our tax rate. After weeks of busy signals, I found this service called Claimyr at claimyr.com that actually got me through to an agent. They have a demo video at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Saved me hours of trying to call myself.
How much does something like that cost? Seems like it might be worth it if you're dealing with rate issues.
It was reasonable for the time it saved me. The video explains everything better than I can.

File anyway and see what happens. Worst case they deny you but at least you tried.
Actually, there can be consequences for filing without good cause - it could affect future benefit eligibility. Better to understand the requirements first.
I went through something similar when I quit my job at a warehouse. The supervisor was making sexual comments and creating an uncomfortable environment. I filed for unemployment and had to go through the whole adjudication process, but I eventually got approved. The key was having specific examples and being able to show I tried to address the issue with HR first. NYS Department of Labor wants to see you made reasonable efforts to resolve the situation before quitting.
Did you have to provide witness statements or just your own account of what happened?

ugh the whole system is such a mess. took me 3 weeks just to get my first payment and even then i had no idea if the amount was right or wrong. they don't explain anything clearly
Same here! I thought I was getting the wrong amount for months before I realized they automatically deduct taxes unless you opt out.
Wait so restaurant work counts the same as other jobs? I always heard service industry workers had trouble with unemployment because of tip reporting issues. Should I be worried about that affecting my benefit calculation?
Tips that were properly reported to your employer and showed up on your paystubs will count toward your wage calculation. If tips weren't reported, they won't be included in your base period wages, which could lower your benefit amount. This is why it's important to report all tip income.

ugh the job search requirement is so annoying! you have to apply to 3 jobs per week and keep records of everything

•Actually it's three work search activities per week, not necessarily three applications. It can include things like attending job fairs, networking events, or career counseling sessions.

tell your sister to apply anyway even if she's not sure. the nys department of labor will investigate and make the determination. if she gets disqualified she can always appeal the decision within 30 days
