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 on the phone for questions, I used a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helped me connect with an actual agent. They have a video demo showing how it works at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI. Really saved me time instead of calling all day and getting busy signals.
never heard of this but might be worth it, the phone lines are absolutely impossible

definitely file!! the worst they can say is no and at least you'll know for sure. restaurant workers get screwed over all the time with hour cuts, you deserve benefits if you qualify
This exactly. The system is designed to help people in situations like yours. Don't let them intimidate you out of applying.
One thing to keep in mind is that you have to be separated from work through no fault of your own. Since your hours were cut by the employer and you didn't quit or get fired for misconduct, you should be fine on that requirement. Just be honest about your situation when you file your claim and during any potential phone interviews.

The 'under review' status is completely normal and doesn't mean there's a problem. NYS Department of Labor has to verify your employment history and earnings before they can approve benefits. Manufacturing jobs usually have straightforward verification so yours should process smoothly. Just be patient and keep doing your weekly certifications.

I struggled with getting through to NYS Department of Labor for weeks trying to get clarification on my voluntary quit determination. Finally used Claimyr (claimyr.com) to actually reach a real person who could explain my options. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Worth checking out if you can't get through their regular phone lines.
Never heard of that service. Did they actually help you get your issue resolved or just connect you?
They got me through to an agent who walked me through the appeal process and explained what evidence I needed. Made a huge difference compared to just guessing from their website.

its because if everyone has jobs then employers cant find workers when they need to expand or replace people who retire. also wages would go crazy high because companies would be bidding against each other for the few available workers

This reminds me of when I was on standby status last year waiting for my factory to reopen... even though I wasn't technically unemployed, I was still part of the unemployment statistics. The whole system is more complex than just 'jobs good, no jobs bad'.

•Great example! Standby unemployment is another category that serves an economic function - it allows companies to temporarily reduce workforce without losing trained employees permanently.
