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!

The whole system is designed to keep people out!! They make the rules so confusing on purpose. I've been fighting with NYS Department of Labor for months over my claim and nobody can give me straight answers about why I was disqualified.
Same here, it's like they don't want us to get benefits we paid for
Just to add - even if you qualify initially, you still have to meet ongoing requirements like doing job searches and being available for work. The NYS Department of Labor tracks this stuff and can disqualify you if you don't follow the rules.
Good point. I should probably read up on all the requirements before I potentially need to file. Thanks everyone for the help!

I've been trying to get through to NYS Department of Labor for weeks about my claim status and it's impossible! The phone lines are always busy and when I do get through I get disconnected. Has anyone found a way to actually talk to someone there?
I had the same problem until someone told me about claimyr.com - they help you get through to NYS Department of Labor agents. There's a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Saved me hours of calling and getting hung up on.
That actually sounds really helpful, I'll check it out. I just need to find out why my weekly claim is stuck in pending status.

be honest on your application about what happened. lying will only make things worse if they find out later. the nysdol adjudication process is thorough and they'll contact your employer anyway so hiding details won't help

Don't forget you'll also need to meet the job search requirements to keep receiving benefits. In NY you need to do at least 3 work search activities per week and keep a log. The benefit amount is just one part of the equation - you still have to actively look for work.

One thing nobody told me when I started - if your claim goes into adjudication (which mine did for some random reason), it can take WEEKS to get resolved. Just be patient and keep filing your weekly claims even if you're not getting paid yet.

•What does adjudication mean exactly?

•Adjudication means they're reviewing your claim for some reason - could be verifying your employment history, reason for separation, or eligibility. During this time your claim is on hold but you should still file weekly.

Make sure you report ALL income on your weekly claims, even if it's just $20 from a side gig. If they find out later you didn't report something, they'll hit you with an overpayment and you'll have to pay back everything plus penalties. The system is designed to catch these things eventually.
