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 rigged honestly. They deny claims hoping people won't appeal. But if you do appeal and have documentation you mentioned, you should be fine. Downsizing is clearly not misconduct - that's just corporate BS they're trying to pull.

Just wanted to add - if you're having trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor to confirm this, I recently used claimyr.com to actually reach a real person. They have this system that calls you back when an agent is available. There's a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Might be worth it for peace of mind since you want to make sure you're handling this correctly.
Thanks for the suggestion! I think I'm probably okay based on what everyone else said but good to know there's an option if I need to talk to someone official.

I was unemployed for 6 months last year and what worked for me was focusing on the positive aspects. I mentioned that I used the time to take care of family responsibilities and also to be strategic about my next career move. Most interviewers seemed to respect that I wasn't just jumping into any job.

The whole system is so confusing honestly. I filed three weeks ago and I'm still waiting for my first payment because they said my claim is under adjudication whatever that means. The website just says pending with no explanation of how long this takes.
Adjudication means they're reviewing your claim to determine eligibility. This can happen if there's a question about why you lost your job or if you have earnings from multiple employers. It can take anywhere from 2-6 weeks depending on the complexity of your case.
6 weeks?! That's insane, how are people supposed to pay bills while waiting that long?

Update your resume and LinkedIn profile immediately. Also document any specialized skills or certifications you have - this will help with both job applications and qualifying for training programs. NYS Department of Labor's skills assessment can identify transferable skills you might not realize you have.

The system is rigged anyway. These retraining programs just shuffle people between low-paying jobs while companies get tax breaks for moving operations overseas. But I guess it's better than nothing if you're facing layoffs.

•I get the frustration but some of these programs actually do lead to decent paying jobs. The key is picking training in fields that are actually growing in New York.
