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!

Yeah but it's not just about individual cases - this creates a whole cycle where businesses hesitate to hire because they know wage costs might force them to cut later. Then more people end up needing unemployment benefits which puts pressure on the whole system...
You're touching on labor market dynamics that go beyond just UI claims. The important thing for claimants is understanding their eligibility when these situations occur.

I had a similar situation last year and was having trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor to ask questions about partial benefits. Someone here recommended claimyr.com and it actually worked - they helped me get connected to an agent who explained exactly how the partial benefit calculation works. There's even a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Definitely worth checking out if you need to talk to someone at NYS Department of Labor about your specific situation.
Never heard of that before but honestly anything that helps you actually talk to a real person at NYS Department of Labor sounds worth trying

Honestly the NYS Department of Labor makes these forms so confusing on purpose. Like why do I need to know economic theory just to get my benefits? Just give me my money and let me find a job!

I spent weeks trying to reach someone at NYS Department of Labor to ask about this exact situation when I got laid off from my nonprofit job last year. The phone lines were constantly busy and I kept getting disconnected. Finally found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) 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. Ended up being super helpful for getting my questions answered quickly instead of waiting on hold forever.
Thanks for the suggestion! I might need to try that if I run into issues with my claim.
Just want to add that even if your nonprofit was reimbursing rather than paying standard UI taxes, it doesn't matter to you as the employee. Your benefits get processed the same way. The only thing that might be different is if the organization contests your claim, but that's rare with legitimate layoffs. Good luck with your application!

The unemployment system is so broken. Even when you have legitimate reasons to quit they make you jump through hoops to prove it. Meanwhile the harasser probably still has their job and will do it to someone else. Sorry you had to go through this.

Hope this helps! I quit my retail job for similar reasons (different type of harassment) and got benefits approved after about 6 weeks. The adjudication process takes time because they have to contact your former employer and investigate. Just be completely honest and provide every piece of documentation you have.
