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 BROKEN!!! Companies can just lay people off whenever they want and workers get scraps. I've been dealing with NYS Department of Labor for months trying to appeal a disqualification and it's like they don't even care about people's lives
I hear you on the frustration. Have you tried filing a complaint with your local representative's office? Sometimes they can help escalate issues that get stuck in the bureaucracy.

its because if everyone has jobs then employers cant find workers when they need to expand or replace people who retire. also wages would go crazy high because companies would be bidding against each other for the few available workers
This reminds me of when I was on standby status last year waiting for my factory to reopen... even though I wasn't technically unemployed, I was still part of the unemployment statistics. The whole system is more complex than just 'jobs good, no jobs bad'.
Great example! Standby unemployment is another category that serves an economic function - it allows companies to temporarily reduce workforce without losing trained employees permanently.

I've been trying to reach NYS Department of Labor for weeks about my claim status and can never get through on the phone. Finally found this service called Claimyr that actually gets you connected to an agent - check out claimyr.com. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Saved me so much frustration!
Interesting, I've been having the same problem getting through to anyone. How much does something like that cost?
Worth looking into their site for details, but honestly after spending hours on hold getting nowhere, having someone actually answer was priceless.

If you're having trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor on the phone for questions, I used a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helped me connect with an actual agent. They have a video demo showing how it works at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI. Really saved me time instead of calling all day and getting busy signals.
never heard of this but might be worth it, the phone lines are absolutely impossible

ugh this form is SO confusing!! why does the NYS Department of Labor make it so complicated??? I've started it like 3 times and keep getting different error messages. Do I really need ALL my employers from the past year and a half?? what if I can't remember exact start dates from my part time job last spring?

•Yes, you need all employers from the base period. If you can't remember exact dates, check old tax documents, bank deposits, or contact the employer's HR department. Incomplete information will delay your claim.

Been through this process twice now with NYS Department of Labor. Pro tip - save your application as you go because the system times out. Also double check that your bank routing number is correct for direct deposit. I made a typo and had to wait weeks for a paper check.

•Good point about saving! Is there a way to save a draft or do I need to complete it all at once?
