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 dealing with NYS Department of Labor for months trying to resolve an adjudication issue and I can confirm - no credit impact whatsoever. Actually, if you're having trouble getting through to them by phone to check on your claim status, I found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helps you get connected to agents. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Saved me hours of trying to call.
Interesting, might check that out if I run into issues. Good to know there are options if the phone lines are jammed.

The system is designed to make it as hard as possible to get help when you need it most. I went through this same runaround when my benefits ended and it took MONTHS to get a straight answer about whether I could refile. By then I was already behind on everything.

I had trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor when my benefits were ending. Kept getting busy signals and the online chat never worked. Finally used this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me connected to an actual agent who explained my options. They have a video demo showing how it works: https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI. The agent told me about some programs I didn't know existed.
never heard of that, sounds sketchy to me
I was skeptical too but it actually worked. Just connects you to the same NYS Department of Labor agents you'd talk to if you could get through normally.
THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS BROKEN!! They make it impossible to get help and then cut you off when you need it most. I've been trying to reach someone at NYS Department of Labor for weeks about my situation and it's like they don't want to help anyone!
I feel you, it's so frustrating when you can't get answers

Just want to add that even after you submit your application, you MUST file your first weekly claim within the same week or you'll lose that week's benefits. Don't wait for approval - start filing weekly claims immediately after your application is submitted.

I was struggling to reach anyone at NYS Department of Labor about a similar income reporting question for weeks. Kept getting disconnected or stuck on hold for hours. Finally found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that actually gets you through to a real agent. There's a demo video at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Literally got connected within 20 minutes and got my question answered. Might be worth checking out if you need to clarify anything with them directly.

•I mean, yeah, calling should be free but when you can't get through for weeks and your benefits are at stake, sometimes you need other options. The peace of mind was worth it for me.

The whole system is ridiculous. You're trying to work and support yourself and they make it so complicated to figure out what to report. I spent 3 hours on hold last week just to ask about reporting some gig work income and never got through to anyone. Meanwhile they expect perfect compliance or they'll come after you for overpayments. It's like they set you up to fail.
