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 do need to contact NYS Department of Labor about your claim, I'd recommend trying Claimyr (claimyr.com). I used them when I couldn't get through to an agent after calling for days. They have a demo video at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Really helped me get my questions answered about my compensation amount.
never heard of that service but honestly anything is better than trying to call NYS Department of Labor directly

The whole system is so frustrating!! I've been dealing with unemployment for months and nobody can give me a straight answer about who's actually making these decisions. Sometimes I think they just throw darts at a board to decide who gets benefits and who doesn't. The adjudicators probably don't even read the cases properly.
I understand the frustration, but adjudicators do follow specific guidelines and legal requirements. The process can be slow but there are actual procedures they have to follow when reviewing claims.

Also if you're getting severance pay or pension payments, that might affect your benefits. And working while claiming - even just a few hours - you have to report it or they'll hit you with an overpayment.
The system is so confusing though! I've been trying to get through to someone at NYS Department of Labor for weeks to ask about my specific situation but the phones are always busy. Does anyone know a better way to reach them? I'm worried I'm going to mess something up and get disqualified.
Really? That sounds too good to be true. How does it work exactly?
It's basically a service that handles the calling for you and gets you connected to an actual person at NYS Department of Labor. Way better than sitting on hold forever or getting disconnected.

Since you mentioned your claim is in adjudication - that's completely separate from EUC or any extended benefits. Adjudication is just NYS Department of Labor reviewing your initial claim to make sure you qualify. It can take a few weeks but has nothing to do with extensions. Focus on that first before worrying about what happens after your 26 weeks.
Good point, I'm probably getting ahead of myself. The adjudication is taking forever though - it's been 3 weeks already with no updates.
If you're having trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor about your adjudication status, I had luck using a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helped me get connected to an actual agent. They have a demo video at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Saved me hours of trying to call.

OH NO this is exactly what I'm worried about happening to me! I just filed my first claim last week and now I'm panicking that payments are going to be unreliable. How am I supposed to budget if I can't count on when the money will actually arrive?? Did you guys have to do anything special with your bank or is this just random?

•Don't panic! Payment delays happen occasionally but they're not the norm. Most weeks payments come through on schedule.

Update us when you get it! I'm curious if this is a wider issue.
