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!

Why is my unemployment claim disqualified - NYS Department of Labor never explained

Got a notice two days ago saying my unemployment claim is disqualified but there's literally no explanation anywhere. I've been filing my weekly claims for 6 weeks and everything seemed fine until this notice showed up. My ny.gov account just shows 'disqualified' with zero details about what I supposedly did wrong. I reported all my work correctly, did my job search requirements, answered all the questions honestly. Has anyone else dealt with this? How do you even find out WHY you're disqualified when they don't tell you anything?

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?

same thing happened to my cousin except it was because she didn't do enough job searches one week. the system is super picky about that stuff

Why do employers pay unemployment taxes - NYS Department of Labor requirements explained

I'm starting a small business in New York and trying to understand all the tax obligations. Can someone explain why employers have to pay unemployment taxes to NYS Department of Labor? Like what's the actual purpose and how does it work? I know I'll need to register but want to understand the system before I hire my first employee.

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.

The system also helps stabilize the economy during downturns. When people lose jobs, they still have some income to spend on necessities, which keeps money flowing through local businesses. It's basically a safety net that benefits everyone, not just unemployed workers.

Do I qualify for unemployment benefits NYS Department of Labor - confused about eligibility requirements

I'm really confused about whether I qualify for unemployment benefits through NYS Department of Labor. I worked part-time at a retail store for about 8 months before they cut my hours down to basically nothing (like 6 hours a week). I quit because I couldn't pay my bills with that little income. My friend said I might still qualify since it was basically a constructive dismissal? I made around $18,000 last year between that job and some freelance work. I'm 24 and this would be my first time filing for unemployment. Can someone help me understand if I have a case or if quitting automatically disqualifies me? I really need some income while I look for something full-time.

Don't let them intimidate you! I've been fighting the unemployment system for months over a disqualification that made no sense. File anyway and make them prove you don't qualify. The worst thing that happens is they say no, then you appeal. At least you'll have your claim in the system.

How much do u get unemployment benefits from NYS Department of Labor weekly?

hey everyone just wondering how much do u get unemployment from NYS DOL? i just got laid off from my job at a warehouse and im trying to figure out what i can expect. my buddy said it depends on how much you made but he wasnt sure about the exact amount. does anyone know the weekly rate or how they calculate it? thanks

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

0 coins

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.

The whole system is so confusing! I got approved but my first payment was less than what they said my weekly rate would be. Turns out they deducted taxes and I didn't realize that was optional. Make sure you understand all the deductions before you get your first check.

Does unemployment count as income for social security disability - NYS Department of Labor benefits question

I'm currently receiving SSDI and thinking about filing for unemployment benefits through NYS Department of Labor. My work hours got cut drastically and I might qualify for partial unemployment. But I'm worried - will the unemployment payments affect my disability benefits? I've heard conflicting information about whether unemployment counts as income for social security purposes. Has anyone dealt with this situation before? I don't want to mess up my SSDI by filing a UI claim.

Been dealing with this mess for months. The whole system is backwards - you need money to survive but every program has rules that conflict with the others. I'm on SSDI and lost my part-time job but afraid to file unemployment because of exactly what you're talking about.

It really is frustrating! Seems like there should be clearer guidance on how these programs work together.

My advice would be to contact both agencies before doing anything. Document everything in writing so you have records of what each office tells you. That way if there are problems later you have proof of what guidance you received.
