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!

I had a really hard time getting through to NYS Department of Labor when my claim got stuck in adjudication. Someone on here recommended this service called Claimyr that actually gets you connected to real agents. Check out claimyr.com - they have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Saved me weeks of frustration trying to call on my own.

Is that legit? Seems too good to be true if the phone lines are really that bad.

Yeah it's real, they basically handle the calling and waiting for you. Was skeptical at first but it actually worked when I needed to check on my claim status.

just apply online and file your weekly claims every week no matter what. even if your claim is pending or in adjudication you need to keep certifying or you'll lose those weeks of benefits

0 coins

Just want to add that even after you submit your application, you MUST file your first weekly claim within the same week or you'll lose that week's benefits. Don't wait for approval - start filing weekly claims immediately after your application is submitted.

honestly the nys department of labor system is so outdated, mine crashed 3 times during application but i just kept starting over until it went through

0 coins

The system is designed to make it as hard as possible to get help when you need it most. I went through this same runaround when my benefits ended and it took MONTHS to get a straight answer about whether I could refile. By then I was already behind on everything.

just keep applying to jobs and hope something comes through soon, thats all any of us can do really

The whole system is so unnecessarily complicated! Like why do we need federal AND state taxes for unemployment? Just make it simple for crying out loud. No wonder people get confused about what affects what.

0 coins

totally agree with the confusion! when i first filed i thought all unemployment money came from the federal government lol. had to learn the hard way that each state runs its own program

I've been dealing with NYS Department of Labor for months trying to resolve an adjudication issue and I can confirm - no credit impact whatsoever. Actually, if you're having trouble getting through to them by phone to check on your claim status, I found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helps you get connected to agents. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Saved me hours of trying to call.

Interesting, might check that out if I run into issues. Good to know there are options if the phone lines are jammed.
