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're having trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor to ask about any of their determinations, I had success using a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helped me reach an actual agent. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. I was stuck trying to call for weeks about my adjudication status and this got me through to someone who could explain everything in about 15 minutes.
How much does something like that cost? I've been trying to call NYS Department of Labor for days about my own determination letter.
It's worth checking out their site for details, but honestly after spending hours on hold getting nowhere, any reasonable cost was worth it to actually talk to someone who could help.

Wait so if I file today but I lost my job last Monday, do I lose that whole week? This is so confusing and nobody explains it clearly anywhere on the NYS Department of Labor website!

dont forget about the work search thing!!! you have to apply for jobs every week and keep records or they'll cut you off. i know people who got denied retroactively because they couldn't prove they were looking for work
The whole system is designed to deny as many people as possible honestly. They make it confusing on purpose so people mess up their applications or miss deadlines. But if you follow all their rules exactly and document everything you should be ok
This is so true. I spent months fighting a denial that was totally wrong and finally got it overturned but the stress was horrible.

If you're having trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor by phone to file claims or check status, I found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helps you actually reach an agent. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Really saved me when I was stuck in adjudication and couldn't get through the regular way.
Good to know there are options if I run into problems. Hopefully I won't need it but I'll keep that in mind.

If you're having trouble reaching someone at NYS Department of Labor to ask questions about your claim, I had good luck using Claimyr (claimyr.com). They help you get through to an actual agent instead of sitting on hold forever. There's a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Saved me hours of calling and getting hung up on.

•never heard of that but might be worth trying, calling nysdol is basically impossible

Same question but wondering about things like paying off credit cards or student loans with unemployment money? Technically it's income replacement but curious if anyone knows if that could cause issues?

•No issues at all. Your unemployment benefits are yours to use for any expenses. Paying off debt is actually financially smart if you can manage it while covering your basic needs.
