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 intercept system is such BS! They can just take your money without even properly explaining why. I had an intercept for supposedly owing money to some agency I'd never heard of and it took months to prove it was a mistake. Meanwhile I'm trying to pay rent with whatever scraps they left me.
That's terrible! How did you finally get it sorted out?

honestly the whole system is such a mess, half the time the local offices don't even know what the online system is doing anyway

The unemployment system wasn't designed for the modern economy. Most of the rules and procedures were created decades ago when job markets were more stable and predictable. Now you have gig workers, remote positions, seasonal employment, and industry shifts that don't fit into the old categories. The NYS Department of Labor infrastructure can't handle the volume or complexity of today's workforce situations.
THIS! I was doing freelance work and they treated it like I was trying to commit fraud when I reported it correctly. The system doesn't understand modern work arrangements AT ALL.

THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN!!! I've been waiting 3 WEEKS for mine to be approved and every time I call I get hung up on. They owe me over $1200 in back payments and I'm about to lose my apartment. This is ridiculous that they can just hold our money hostage like this.
I feel you, it's so stressful when you're counting on that money. Hang in there.

I had a nightmare time getting through to NYS Department of Labor when I needed to talk to someone about my claim status. Spent hours trying to call and either got busy signals or hung up on. Someone here recommended this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helps you actually get through to unemployment agents on the phone. They have this demo video at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Saved me so much frustration when I needed to resolve an issue with my weekly claims.

•How much does something like that cost? I'm already worried about money with losing my job.

•It's worth checking out their site for details, but honestly the peace of mind of actually reaching someone when you need help was huge for me. Way better than sitting on hold for hours.

One thing - make sure you understand the job search requirements once you start getting benefits. You'll need to keep a log of your job search activities and apply for jobs each week. The requirements are different now than they were during COVID so don't assume anything.

•How many jobs do I need to apply for each week? I want to make sure I don't mess anything up.
