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 system is backwards anyway. Companies get to destroy people's livelihoods because of political decisions and we're left scrambling for crumbs from NYS Department of Labor. Been through this twice in my career and it never gets easier.

If you do run into issues getting through to NYS Department of Labor by phone, I had good luck using this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helped me get connected to an actual agent. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that explains how it works. I was stuck in adjudication limbo for weeks and couldn't get anyone on the phone until I tried this. Within a day of talking to an agent, my issue was resolved and payments started coming through.
Never heard of that before - is it legit? Seems weird to pay someone to help you call a government office.
I was skeptical too but it actually worked. The regular phone system was just impossible - either busy signals or getting disconnected after waiting on hold for hours. This got me through to someone who could actually look at my account and fix the problem.
Just apply already! Yeah there might be some delays but you're losing money every day you wait. The worst that happens is you get denied and have to appeal, but if you were laid off from a regular job you'll almost certainly qualify. I've been on UI twice in the last 5 years and both times it was fine.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT!!! They deny everyone hoping you'll just give up and go away. I've been fighting them for a year and finally got approved but only after threatening to contact my state representative. The whole system is designed to wear you down mentally.
Did contacting your representative actually help? I'm at the point where I'll try anything.

If you're having trouble reaching NYS Department of Labor by phone, I had success using a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helped me get through to an actual agent. They have this demo video (https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI) that shows how it works. I was stuck in adjudication for weeks and couldn't get answers until I used their service to finally talk to someone who could explain what was holding up my claim.
Interesting, I'll check that out. The phone situation is definitely frustrating - either busy signal or I get disconnected after waiting forever.
Never heard of that service but honestly anything is better than trying to call normally. I've probably tried calling 50 times this month.

The whole system is frustrating. Low unemployment rate sounds good but doesn't help when you're one of the people still looking. At least your claim should process normally though - mine got stuck in adjudication for weeks because of some computer glitch.

Just keep filing your weekly claims and documenting your job search. The rate might be low now but things can change pretty quickly in the economy.
