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!

Just make sure you file as soon as possible after losing your job! There's usually a waiting period anyway but you don't want to delay getting the process started. The NYS Department of Labor system can be slow and if there are any issues with your claim it takes forever to sort out. Also start looking for work immediately because you'll need to do job searches every week.
ugh the whole unemployment system is such a nightmare. took me 6 weeks to get my first payment because they said i had some issue that needed adjudication and nobody could explain what that even meant. good luck dealing with NYS Department of Labor bureaucracy
That's exactly what I'm worried about! What ended up happening with your claim?

I've been waiting 3 weeks and still nothing!! Called the phone number like 50 times and can never get through to a real person. The whole system is broken if you ask me. My friend told me about this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that actually gets you through to NYS Department of Labor agents on the phone. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Might be worth checking out if you need to actually talk to someone.
never heard of that service before, does it actually work or is it just another scam?
It worked for me last month when my claim was stuck. They basically call for you and get you connected to a real agent instead of sitting on hold forever.

ugh the whole NYS Department of Labor system is such a nightmare to navigate. took me FOREVER to figure out how to even log in properly and then half the time the website crashes when you're trying to submit stuff. just be prepared for a lot of frustration
I had trouble getting through on the phone when I had questions. Kept getting disconnected after waiting on hold for like an hour. There's actually a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helped me get through to an actual NYS Department of Labor agent. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Made the whole process way less stressful when I could actually talk to someone who knew what they were doing.

UGH the NYS Department of Labor payment system is SO unreliable!! I've had payments delayed for no reason multiple times. Sometimes they just decide to 'review' your claim out of nowhere even when you've been doing everything right for months. It's like they WANT us to suffer.
I feel you on this. The system definitely has issues but getting angry won't help. If you really need to talk to someone about a delayed payment, I used this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helped me get through to an actual NYS Department of Labor rep when I couldn't reach anyone myself. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Saved me hours of calling and getting hung up on.
Never heard of that before but I might try it if my payment doesn't show up by Friday. Thanks for the suggestion!

One more thing - make sure you're reporting wages correctly on your quarterly reports. Any mistakes there can mess up your tax calculations and cause headaches later. The NYS Department of Labor is pretty strict about accurate wage reporting.

•Good point. I'll double-check our payroll records before filing the next quarterly report.
