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!

I've been trying to get through to someone at NYS Department of Labor for weeks about my own claim and it's impossible! The phone system is a nightmare and I keep getting hung up on. Has anyone found a way to actually talk to a real person there?
I had the same problem until I found this service called Claimyr that helps you get through to NYS Department of Labor agents. Check out claimyr.com - they have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Basically they handle all the calling and waiting for you, then connect you when an agent picks up. Saved me hours of frustration trying to reach someone about my adjudication issue.
That actually sounds really helpful! I'm so tired of spending my whole day calling and getting nowhere.

If you run into issues with the online system or your claim gets stuck in adjudication, I had success using claimyr.com to actually get through to a NYS Department of Labor agent by phone. They have this video demo (https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI) that shows how it works. Saved me weeks of trying to call on my own when my claim was pending for forever.
interesting, never heard of that service. how much does it cost?
I don't remember the exact pricing but it was worth it to actually talk to someone instead of getting hung up on constantly. Way cheaper than missing weeks of benefits while waiting.

Low unemployment doesn't automatically mean YOU will find a job quickly. Regional differences matter a lot, and some industries are still struggling. The effects of low unemployment include increased worker bargaining power and wage growth, but job search can still be challenging depending on your field and location.

If you're having trouble reaching NYS Department of Labor about any 1099-G issues or discrepancies, I had good luck using Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get through to an actual agent. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Saved me hours of calling and getting busy signals when I needed to verify my tax documents.
sounds sketchy to me, why would you need a service to call unemployment?
It's legit - they basically handle the calling and waiting for you. Really helpful when you can't get through the normal way and need to resolve something time-sensitive like tax document errors.

Just be super careful about the reason for separation part. If you put down the wrong thing it can mess up your whole claim. For layoffs you want to select 'lack of work' or 'company downsizing' - don't accidentally pick anything that makes it sound like you quit or were fired for misconduct.

•Good point! It was definitely a layoff, they closed the location completely. I'll make sure to be clear about that.

Once you get your initial claim filed you'll need to do weekly certifications every week to keep getting benefits. Don't forget about those or you'll lose your payments! And start looking for work right away because they have job search requirements now.
