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 WHOLE SYSTEM IS BROKEN ANYWAY!!! Doesn't matter who's president, NYS Department of Labor takes forever to process claims and the job search requirements are ridiculous. Three contacts a week when most places don't even respond to applications anymore!
I get the frustration but the job search requirement helps ensure people are actively looking. It's annoying but it's not that hard to meet if you track your applications properly.
Just keep filing your weekly claims on schedule and don't worry about political changes affecting your regular UI benefits. The unemployment insurance system has operated consistently through many different administrations. Focus on your job search and meeting the NYS Department of Labor requirements - that's what actually matters for keeping your benefits active.

Don't forget you'll need to file weekly claims too once your initial application is processed. That's separate from the sign up process but equally important for actually getting paid.

omg this is so accurate!!! my worker acted like she was doing me some huge favor just by looking at my file. meanwhile my rent is due and I haven't gotten paid in 6 weeks because of their stupid adjudication process
I think you're being a bit dramatic with the Lex Luthor comparison. These workers deal with hundreds of cases and have to follow federal and state regulations. The adjudication process exists to prevent fraud, which costs taxpayers millions. Maybe try approaching them with more patience and understanding of their constraints rather than assuming malicious intent.
Found the NYS Department of Labor worker! Just kidding but seriously some of these people could use customer service training.

THE ROBOTS ARE TAKING OVER AND NYS DEPARTMENT OF LABOR DOESN'T CARE! They just want you to file your weekly claims and pretend everything is fine while entire industries disappear. This structural unemployment is going to get worse and worse.
I mean, it is frustrating but the unemployment system isn't designed to stop technological progress. At least there are some retraining options available.
My brother went through something similar when his warehouse got all those automated picking systems. He had to do some computer classes but ended up getting a better job operating the new equipment. Don't give up - sometimes these changes work out better in the long run. Just make sure you keep filing those weekly claims while you figure out your next step.

I had trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor on the phone when I needed to check my claim status last month. If you run into issues with your application or need to speak to someone, I found this service called Claimyr that actually got me connected to an agent. Check out claimyr.com - they have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Way better than sitting on hold for hours.
