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!

wait so if i worked part time can i still get unemployment? i was only working like 25 hours a week at my job
Yes, part-time workers can qualify for unemployment benefits in NY as long as you meet the earnings requirements. Your weekly benefit amount will be based on your earnings during the base period, so it might be lower than someone who worked full-time.

I had a similar situation when I was on workers comp for a shoulder injury. I tried calling NYS Department of Labor multiple times but could never get through to an actual person. After weeks of busy signals and disconnected calls, I found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helped me get connected to an unemployment agent. They have this video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows exactly how it works. The agent was able to explain the specific rules about workers comp and unemployment eligibility for my situation.
Thanks for that info! I'll check out that video. Did they charge you a lot for the service?
It was worth it to finally talk to someone who knew the actual rules instead of guessing. Much better than spending weeks trying to get through on my own.
The whole system is ridiculous!! I've been trying to figure this out for months and every person gives me different answers. Some say you can't get unemployment at all while on workers comp, others say you can if you're cleared for light duty. NYS Department of Labor needs to make this clearer on their website instead of making people guess!
I feel your frustration. The rules really aren't explained clearly anywhere online.

If you're having trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor to check on your adjudication status, I found this service called Claimyr that helps you get connected to agents faster. Check out claimyr.com - they have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Really helped when I was stuck in adjudication limbo for weeks.
Thanks, I'll look into that if I can't get through on my own. The phone lines are always busy.
ugh the system is so frustrating!!! they denied me because they said I didnt look for work enough but I applied to like 20 jobs. apparently you have to log everything in their stupid system or it doesnt count
You have to keep detailed records in the work search log on the NYS Department of Labor website. Just applying isn't enough - you need to document company names, contact info, dates, and method of contact for each search activity.

is that legit? I'm so desperate at this point I'll try anything to get through to someone
Yeah it's real, they basically help you get through the phone queues. Saved me hours of trying to call myself.

Make sure you understand the job search requirements too. You'll need to do at least 3 job search activities per week and keep a log of everything. They can ask for this documentation at any time and if you don't have it, they'll stop your benefits.
