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!

Wait, what if you get fired for cause? Does that affect eligibility even if you meet the work requirements? I'm asking for a friend who might be in trouble at work and has only been there 8 months...
Getting fired for misconduct can disqualify you from benefits, but it depends on the specific circumstances. NYS Department of Labor will investigate and make a determination. Your friend should still file a claim and let them decide - don't assume you're disqualified.

If you're having trouble reaching NYS Department of Labor to clarify anything about your benefits or tax forms, I found this service called Claimyr that helps you get through to an actual agent. Check out claimyr.com - they have a demo video at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Saved me hours of trying to call on my own.
That's interesting, I might need to try that if I have more questions about my 1099-G form.

Have you looked into whether there are any emergency assistance programs that might help with medical bills instead of taking out a loan? Sometimes there are local charities or even hospital payment plans that might be better than paying loan interest. Just a thought before you commit to debt payments while your income is already reduced.
If you're having trouble getting approved anywhere, you might want to try calling NYS Department of Labor directly to get official documentation of your benefit amount and duration. I used a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) to actually get through to an agent when I needed verification letters - they have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Having official paperwork from NYS Department of Labor might help convince lenders that your unemployment income is legitimate and ongoing.
wait is that legit? sounds kinda sketchy to pay someone to make phone calls for you
It's totally legitimate - they just help you get through the phone queues when NYS Department of Labor is swamped. I was stuck trying to reach them for weeks about an adjudication issue and this got me connected the same day.

Been there! I survived 4 months on unemployment but had to move back in with roommates and basically ate ramen every day. The weekly job search thing is annoying but not that hard if you just apply to everything remotely related to your field.

I've been trying to reach the NYS Department of Labor for weeks about my claim that's stuck in adjudication and can never get through on the phone. The hold times are insane and half the time they just hang up on you. Has anyone found a way to actually talk to a real person there?

•I had the same problem last month until someone told me about Claimyr. It's a service that helps you get through to NYS Department of Labor agents by phone. Check out claimyr.com - they have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. I was skeptical at first but it actually got me connected to an agent the same day and they resolved my adjudication issue.

Just want to add that you should also register with the job search system while you're at it. The NYS Department of Labor requires you to do job search activities every week to keep getting benefits. It's all connected to your unemployment account.
