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 SYSTEM IS BROKEN! I quit for good cause too and they STILL denied me initially. Had to appeal and it took 3 months to get it overturned. Document EVERYTHING because they will try to deny you first.

Wait, I'm confused about something. If they're taking tax refunds, does that mean they can also garnish wages? I have an overpayment notice too but I'm back to work now.
Yes, NYS Department of Labor can garnish wages too, but tax offsets usually happen first because they're easier to process. Once you're working, they might send garnishment orders to your employer. The good news is there are limits on how much they can take from your paycheck - usually no more than 10% of your gross wages.

I had trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor when my claim went into adjudication after being fired. Spent hours on hold trying to check my status. Finally found this service called Claimyr that helped me get through to an actual agent - you can check it out at claimyr.com. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Really saved me a lot of frustration trying to reach someone.
How much does something like that cost? I'm already worried about money.
It was worth it for me to get answers quickly rather than spending days trying to call. The peace of mind was valuable when I was already stressed about being terminated.

The whole base period system is ridiculous if you ask me. Why can't they just look at your recent earnings like any normal person would expect?? I had to wait months for my claim because they kept saying my base period wages weren't sufficient even though I was making good money at my new job. It's like they WANT to deny people benefits.
I understand the frustration, but the base period system is designed to ensure you have a substantial work history before becoming unemployed. It prevents people from working just briefly and then collecting benefits.

honestly just apply. i thought i wouldnt qualify either but i did and got like $280 a week for 6 months. saved my butt while job hunting. the application asks all the right questions and theyll tell you if you qualify or not. no harm in trying

Just remember you'll need to do the weekly claims every week and prove you're looking for work. It's not just free money - there are requirements you have to meet to keep getting benefits. But yeah, definitely worth applying if you think you might qualify.
