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 unemployment system is a JOKE. They make you jump through ridiculous hoops just to get benefits you already paid into through your taxes. And don't even get me started on how long adjudication takes if they have any questions about your eligibility!
I feel you on the adjudication thing. Mine took 6 weeks and they never explained why.

I had trouble reaching NYS Department of Labor to get clarification on my determination too. Someone here mentioned a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helps you actually get through to an agent on the phone. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Might be worth checking out if you need to talk to someone about your appeal options.
never heard of that before but honestly anything is better than sitting on hold for hours just to get disconnected

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.

I always thought it was just about helping people pay bills but there's actually a lot more strategy behind it. When lots of people lose jobs at once, unemployment benefits help prevent a total economic collapse because people can still buy groceries and pay rent.
Your professor probably wants you to focus on those two core functions - income replacement for individuals and economic stabilization for society. That's the standard academic framework for analyzing unemployment insurance systems.
Perfect, that's exactly what I needed to structure my paper around. Thanks everyone!

One thing that helped me when I was struggling to get through to NYS Department of Labor for questions about my claim - I used this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that basically calls for you and gets you connected to an actual agent. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Way better than spending hours on hold getting disconnected.

•That actually sounds really helpful. The phone lines are always jammed and half the time you get hung up on anyway.
