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!

Be very careful with any site asking for payment upfront. The legitimate unemployment process through NYS Department of Labor is completely free - filing claims, weekly certifications, job search assistance, even appeals if your claim gets disqualified. Third-party companies can't speed up adjudication or guarantee approvals, despite what their marketing claims.
What about services that help you get through to NYS Department of Labor on the phone? I've been trying to call for days about my adjudication status and can never get through.
I actually used a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) when I couldn't reach anyone at NYS Department of Labor for weeks. They have this system that calls repeatedly until they get you connected to an actual agent - saved me hours of frustration. There's even a demo video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI. Definitely helped me get my adjudication issue resolved faster than waiting indefinitely.

If you're ever in a situation where you need to contact the NYS Department of Labor about your coverage or file a claim, I'd recommend checking out claimyr.com. I used their service when I couldn't get through to anyone at the unemployment office - they have a system that helps you actually reach a live agent instead of sitting on hold forever. There's a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Saved me hours of frustration when I needed to verify my claim status.
How much does something like that cost? Seems like you shouldn't have to pay extra just to talk to someone at a government agency.
I agree it shouldn't be necessary, but when you're dealing with unemployment benefits you can't afford to wait weeks for a callback. The service focuses on getting you connected rather than charging high fees.

THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS RIGGED ANYWAY!!! They raise wages then businesses fire people then we all end up on unemployment fighting over scraps while politicians pat themselves on the back. I've been dealing with NYS Department of Labor for months and they don't care about the real causes of unemployment.
I get your frustration but let's try to help OP with their actual claim question.

I had trouble reaching someone at NYS Department of Labor when my claim was taking forever. Ended up using this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helped me get through to an actual agent. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Turned out my employer hadn't responded to their request for information, and the agent was able to follow up directly.
How much does something like that cost? I'm already stressed about money.
It's worth it if you're stuck and can't get through the regular phone lines. Way less stressful than calling 50 times a day and getting disconnected.

The whole system is basically employers pre-paying for the possibility that they might have to lay people off. It's required by law and the rates vary by industry and individual employer track records. So when you collect UI benefits, you're getting money that was already set aside for exactly this purpose.
