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!

dont forget u also have to do the job search thing every week to keep getting benefits. its like 3 job contacts per week i think? they changed the requirements recently
Yes, the work search requirement is back to 3 contacts per week for most claimants. You need to keep a log of your job search activities and be prepared to provide details if requested during an audit.

Been dealing with this for years and honestly the paperwork is a pain but it's just part of doing business. NYS Department of Labor will send you everything you need once you register. Just make sure you keep good records of wages paid because they audit randomly and you don't want to mess around with that.

ugh the NYS Department of Labor is THE WORST at communicating anything!! they just send these vague notices and expect you to figure it out yourself. I went through something similar and it took 3 months to get it resolved
Wait, three months?? I can't wait that long, I have rent due next week. Is there any way to speed this up?

I had issues getting through to NYS Department of Labor when I had questions about my claim funding. Spent hours on hold trying to understand how my benefits were calculated. Finally used a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me connected to an actual agent who explained the whole state vs federal funding thing. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Made the whole process way less stressful than trying to call the regular number.

•Did that actually work for you? I've been trying to reach someone at NYS Department of Labor for weeks about my adjudication status.

•Yeah it worked great. Got connected within a few minutes instead of the usual runaround. The agent was able to look up my claim and explain everything clearly.

The whole system is such a mess honestly. Federal taxes, state taxes, who knows where any of it really goes. NYS Department of Labor could do a better job explaining this stuff to people when they file their first claim.

•I agree, the information they give you is pretty confusing when you're already stressed about being unemployed.
