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!

If you're having trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor by phone to ask questions about your eligibility, I had good luck using a service called Claimyr that helped me connect with an actual agent. They have this system that calls repeatedly until they get through and then connects you. There's a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Way better than sitting on hold for hours or getting hung up on. The site is claimyr.com - helped me get my claim status checked when I couldn't reach anyone the normal way.
That's interesting, I didn't know services like that existed. Might be worth trying if I run into issues with my claim.

If you're having trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor to check on your appeal status, I found this service called Claimyr that helped me reach an actual agent. They have a website at claimyr.com and there's a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. I was stuck for weeks trying to get information about my appeal and this got me through to someone who could actually look up my case and explain what was happening.
Thanks for the suggestion! Did they charge you for this service?
They do charge but for me it was worth it to finally talk to someone who could give me real answers about my case status.
Wait, can you still file weekly claims while your appeal is pending? I'm confused about this part.
Yes, you should continue filing your weekly claims even while the appeal is pending. If you win your appeal, you'll get back payments for those weeks. If you don't file the weekly claims, you could lose those weeks even if you win.

Wait, I thought everyone who lost their job could get unemployment? My cousin in another state got it right away when he was laid off.

The system is so confusing though! Like what if I put the wrong information and it messes up my whole claim? I've been putting off filing for 3 days because I'm terrified of making a mistake that will disqualify me permanently.
Mistakes can usually be corrected during the adjudication process. The bigger mistake is not filing at all and losing weeks of benefits.

Wait, are you looking at state unemployment rates or individual unemployment claims? Because if you're trying to get data about actual claims filed with NYS Department of Labor, that's totally different from the overall unemployment percentage for the state. I was confused about this too when I was doing research.

•Good question - I need the overall state unemployment rate percentages, not individual claim data. Thanks for clarifying that distinction.

If you need help accessing NYS Department of Labor data or have questions about their statistics, I had good luck using Claimyr (claimyr.com) to actually get through to someone at the department who could point me to the right resources. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Sometimes calling directly gets you better guidance than just searching their website.
