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 system is so confusing!! I've been trying to understand my benefit calculation for weeks and every time I call NYS Department of Labor I get different answers. One agent told me my rate was final, another said it could change during my review. I'm so stressed about whether I'm getting the right amount or if I'll have to pay something back later.
Your weekly benefit rate shouldn't change unless there's an error in the original calculation or you have additional wages reported from your base period. If you're concerned, request a detailed benefit calculation from NYS Department of Labor.

Just went through this nightmare trying to reach NYS Department of Labor about a contested claim issue. Couldn't get through on the phone for weeks until someone told me about claimyr.com - they actually got me connected to an agent who explained how the employer tax system works. There's a good video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works for getting through to speak with someone.
Interesting, never heard of that service before. Was it expensive?
Honestly just glad I could finally talk to someone who could explain my situation properly instead of being stuck in phone limbo

The whole system is so backwards! Why can't they just show you exactly how they calculated it instead of making us guess? I had to call three times before someone could explain why my benefits were lower than expected.
Also remember that your total benefit amount is 26 times your weekly rate, so that's the maximum you can collect during your benefit year. And you have to meet the work search requirements - 3 contacts per week unless you're on standby with your employer.
Wait, what's standby status? My manager said they might call me back when business picks up but I haven't heard anything official.

I had similar confusion when dealing with NYS Department of Labor representatives about my claim status. If you need to speak with someone directly about your specific situation, I found a 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. Really saved me hours of trying to call the regular NYS Department of Labor number.
Thanks for the suggestion! I might need that if I run into issues with my weekly claims.

•Interesting, I've been having the same problem getting through to anyone. How much does something like that cost?

•Worth looking into their site for details, but honestly after spending hours on hold getting nowhere, having someone actually answer was priceless.

Don't stress too much about the time requirement thing. I've seen people qualify with really short work periods as long as they had other employment history. The NYS Department of Labor system is pretty good at calculating everything automatically when you file.
