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!

Before considering legal action, make sure you're keeping detailed records of every interaction with NYS Department of Labor. Save all emails, take screenshots of your online account, write down dates and times of phone calls and what was discussed. If they're truly violating due process or their own regulations systematically, this documentation will be crucial. Also check if your state has an unemployment insurance ombudsman or inspector general who handles complaints about the department's operations.
I have been keeping records thankfully. I have emails going back 3 months showing them asking for the same documents I already sent 4 times.

File anyway! Don't let them intimidate you. You earned those benefits and you have every right to collect them. The worst thing that can happen is NYS Department of Labor says you don't qualify, but if you were laid off and not fired for misconduct, you should be fine. Just make sure you keep up with your job search requirements and file your weekly claims on time.
THIS IS WHY THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN!!! Employers get to benefit from our labor but then try to prevent us from accessing the safety net we paid for. I went through hell when my company laid off 50 people and then contested EVERY SINGLE unemployment claim just to save money on their taxes. Meanwhile people are struggling to pay rent and buy groceries!

THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS BROKEN!!! I've been fighting with NYS Department of Labor for months and they act like our suffering doesn't matter. Meanwhile politicians get their paychecks on time every week. The adjudication process is deliberately slow to discourage people from claiming benefits they're entitled to.
I feel this so much. Lost my apartment last month waiting for my claim to process. It's like they want us to give up and find any job just to survive.

I had trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor when I had questions about my application. If you run into issues reaching them by phone, I found this service called Claimyr at claimyr.com that helped me get connected to an actual agent. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Really saved me time instead of calling dozens of times myself.
That's good to know, I was wondering how hard it would be to reach someone if I had questions.

definitely file even if ur not sure!! i got fired for being late too many times and still got unemployment. the employer has to prove it was misconduct and most of them dont bother fighting it unless its something really bad

Just want to say hang in there - getting terminated is scary but you'll get through this. The unemployment system exists for exactly these situations. Document everything about why they're firing you in case you need it for your claim.
