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!

If you're having trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor to verify your benefit continuation dates, I used claimyr.com a few weeks ago when I needed to speak with an agent about my claim status. They have this video demo that shows exactly how it works: https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI. Saved me hours of trying to call myself. Getting official documentation about your benefit timeline might help with the mortgage application.
Never heard of that service before. Does it actually work or is it just another scam?
No it's legit. They basically get you connected to an actual NYS Department of Labor agent instead of you sitting on hold forever. I was skeptical too but it worked for me.

The NYS Department of Labor system is so unfair when it comes to people quitting toxic jobs! They expect you to stay in abusive situations just to qualify for benefits. It's ridiculous that the burden is on workers to prove their workplace was unbearable.
I totally agree - the whole system is stacked against workers who are just trying to protect their mental health.

THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS RIGGED AGAINST WORKERS!! They'll find any excuse to deny your claim and side with the employer. I got fired for ONE mistake after 5 years of perfect attendance and they still denied me. Had to go through the whole appeal process just to get what I deserved.
sorry that happened to you but that doesn't mean everyone's situation is the same
Make sure you keep records of everything - your termination letter, any documentation about the attendance issues, witness statements if you have them. The more evidence you can provide during adjudication, the better your chances. Also start your job search immediately because you'll need to show you're actively looking for work.

I've been trying to reach the NYS Department of Labor for weeks about my benefits getting stopped and their phone system is impossible. Has anyone found a way to actually talk to a human being there? I need to understand why my payments stopped but can't get through to anyone.
I had the same problem until I found Claimyr - it's a service that calls the NYS Department of Labor for you and gets you connected to an actual agent. Check out claimyr.com and they have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Saved me hours of trying to get through myself.
Just want to add that unemployment benefits in NY also come with job search requirements. You need to make at least 3 job contacts per week and keep a log of your search activities. The NYS Department of Labor can ask to see this log at any time. Benefits aren't just free money - there are responsibilities that come with them.

The whole system is designed to give you as little as possible! They make the calculations confusing on purpose so people don't know what they're entitled to. I've been fighting with NYS Department of Labor for months over my benefit amount and they keep giving me the runaround.

Just to add - make sure you're looking at GROSS earnings for your quarters, not net pay. That tripped me up when I was trying to estimate my benefits before filing.
