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 NYS Department of Labor payment schedule is such a mess. They say one thing and do another. I've had payments delayed for no reason multiple times and when you finally get someone on the phone they just give you generic answers about 'processing times' without actually looking at your specific case.
seriously the whole system is broken, they make it so hard to get basic info about your own payments

this is happening EVERYWHERE now. my friend lost her accounting job to some software that does what took her 8 hours in like 30 minutes. at least UI benefits are still there for now but who knows how long that'll last if everyone's getting replaced
Try not to panic about it. The unemployment system is designed to handle economic transitions. Focus on retraining or finding roles that work alongside new technology rather than competing with it.

I had trouble reaching NYS Department of Labor when I had questions about my application definitions. After getting hung up on multiple times, I found 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. Really saved me time instead of calling all day.
That's interesting, I might need to check that out if I can't get through myself. Thanks for sharing!

I was struggling with getting through to anyone at NYS Department of Labor to ask similar questions about my claim status. Kept getting disconnected after waiting on hold forever. Finally found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that actually got me connected to a real person. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Might be worth checking out if you need to speak with someone directly about your specific situation.
How much does something like that cost? I'm already tight on money waiting for my claim to process...
I was worried about that too but it was totally worth it to finally get answers. Way better than spending hours trying to get through on my own.

Same boat here - filed 3 weeks ago and still waiting for that first week payment. The whole system is SO SLOW it's ridiculous. How are people supposed to pay bills when everything takes forever???
