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!!! They expect you to live on $500/week when rent alone is $1200. Meanwhile politicians get their full salaries. Makes me sick how they treat working people in this state.
I feel your frustration but focusing on available programs is more helpful right now
Have you looked into the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act programs? They sometimes offer income support during training for in-demand careers. Also check if your county has any emergency assistance programs for displaced workers.
I'll call my county social services office tomorrow. Didn't know they might have programs for displaced workers specifically.

I had such a nightmare trying to get through to NYS Department of Labor when my claim got stuck. Spent hours on hold every day for weeks. Finally found this service called Claimyr at claimyr.com that actually got me connected to an agent in like 20 minutes. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Honestly saved my sanity.
Never heard of that but honestly anything beats sitting on hold for 3 hours just to get disconnected

I had trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor when I needed my 1099-G form last year. Kept getting busy signals and their online system was down. Finally used this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helped me get connected to an actual agent. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Got my tax form issue resolved in like 20 minutes instead of spending days trying to call.
How much does something like that cost? Seems like it would be expensive just to get a tax form.
Actually wasn't bad at all, way cheaper than hiring a tax preparer to deal with missing forms. Plus saved me hours of frustration trying to get through the phone lines.

Getting through to NYS Department of Labor by phone can be really difficult if you have questions. I had trouble reaching someone when I needed help with my claim status. A friend told me about claimyr.com - it's a service that helps you get through to actual NYS Department of Labor agents. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Might be worth checking out if you run into any issues.
Thanks for the tip! I'll keep that in mind if I have trouble getting through.

Keep certifying your weekly claims even while waiting for the decision. If you're approved, you'll get backpay for all the weeks you certified. The key is making sure you continue to meet the job search requirements during this time - NYS Department of Labor tracks this stuff closely now.

•Good point about the job search requirements. I've been documenting everything just in case.

My cousin went through this last year and it took like 6 weeks because they had to contact her old employer or something. But she got all the back payments once it was approved so at least there's that.
