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 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.
Thanks! I'll keep that in mind if I have problems with my application.

I had trouble reaching someone at NYS Department of Labor to verify my direct deposit setup was correct. Kept getting busy signals for days. Finally used this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helped me get through to an actual agent. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Was able to confirm my banking info was entered right and my next payment should come through direct deposit.
How much does that cost? Seems like something that should be free to check
It was worth it for me since I was stressed about getting my payments delayed. The peace of mind knowing everything was set up correctly was valuable.

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.

I had the same issue trying to reach someone at NYS Department of Labor about my partial benefits calculation. The phone lines are impossible to get through. I ended up using this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that actually got me connected to an agent within a few minutes. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Saved me hours of calling and getting hung up on.
How much does something like that cost? I'm already struggling financially.
It was worth it for me to get clarity on my partial benefits. Way better than wasting entire days trying to get through their regular phone system.
EXCESSIVE EARNINGS is such a scary term for something that just means 'we'll reduce your payment.' The NYS Department of Labor loves to make everything sound like you're committing fraud when you're just trying to survive and work part-time.
Right?? I thought I was going to get arrested or something when I first saw that warning on my claim.

THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO MAKE YOU WAIT AND HOPE YOU GIVE UP!!! I had an employer who took 2 WEEKS to respond and NYS Department of Labor didn't do anything about it until I called and complained. Don't just sit there waiting - be proactive about following up!

•Wow that sounds frustrating. Did your claim eventually get approved after all that hassle?

To clarify the earlier question about weekends - yes, those 10 days include weekends and holidays. NYS Department of Labor counts calendar days, not business days, for employer response deadlines. Once that period expires without a response, the claim typically moves forward automatically unless there are other verification issues pending.

•Perfect, that means I should hear something by this Friday then. Thanks for clearing that up!
