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've been trying to call NYS Department of Labor for weeks about this exact question and can never get through! The phone system is impossible. Has anyone found a way to actually talk to someone there?
I used this service called Claimyr that gets you through to NYS Department of Labor agents automatically. Check out claimyr.com - they have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. I was able to get my partial unemployment questions answered in like 20 minutes instead of calling for days.

I had trouble reaching NYS Department of Labor by phone when I needed to check on my claim status after getting laid off. Kept getting busy signals and getting hung up on. Finally found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helped me get through to an actual agent. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Made the whole process so much easier when I needed to verify my job separation details.
Good to know there are options if I run into problems reaching them. Hopefully I won't need it but I'll keep that in mind.

never heard of that but might be worth trying since calling the regular number is impossible

If you're having trouble reaching NYS Department of Labor about your adjudication status, I had success using Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get through to an actual agent. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Much easier than trying to call during peak hours and getting disconnected.
Thanks I'll check that out! I've been trying to call for days with no luck.

I had trouble reaching NYS Department of Labor when I needed to clarify my disqualification reasons. Kept getting busy signals for weeks. Finally used this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helped me get through to an actual agent. They have a video demo showing how it works: https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI. The agent was able to explain exactly why my claim was denied and what documentation I needed for my appeal.

•That sounds really helpful. Did they charge you for that service or was it free?

Also remember you can't collect unemployment if you're working full-time hours, even if the pay is low. And if you turn down a job offer that NYS Department of Labor considers "suitable work," that can disqualify you too. Suitable work generally means anything in your field or something you're qualified for, even if it pays less than your previous job.
