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 I'm so confused about this whole thing. I got unemployment too but also worked part time some weeks. Do I report everything separately or does it all go together somehow?? This tax stuff is so complicated
You'll report your unemployment benefits and your work income separately on your tax return. The unemployment goes on the income line, and your work income goes where you normally report wages from your W-2 forms.

If you're having trouble reaching NYS Department of Labor to clarify any of these issues, I found claimyr.com really helpful. They have a service that calls the unemployment office for you and gets you connected to an actual agent. There's even a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. I was stuck in adjudication limbo for weeks trying to call myself, but they got me through in like 20 minutes to resolve my eligibility question.
Never heard of that service but honestly anything is better than sitting on hold for 3 hours just to get disconnected
THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN!! Sorry but I've dealt with BOTH types of problems and NYS Department of Labor makes everything harder than it needs to be. They'll find reasons to deny your claim even when you clearly qualify, then their computer systems crash when you try to appeal. It's like they want people to give up and not collect benefits they're entitled to.
I feel you on this - the whole process seems designed to discourage people from actually getting help

Oh god this is giving me anxiety - what if they ask for documentation about the childcare issues? What if my employer lies about what happened? What if they say it was misconduct when it really wasn't??
Take a deep breath. Just be honest and provide any documentation you have. NYS Department of Labor investigates both sides of the story.

This reminds me of when my sister was trying to figure out her benefits after she got laid off from her teaching job. She was so stressed about whether she was getting the right amount, spent weeks researching different scenarios. Turns out the NYS Department of Labor calculation is what it is - there's really no gaming the system to get more than you're entitled to based on your work history.

If you're having trouble reaching someone at NYS Department of Labor to clarify these education requirements, I used a 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 helped me understand the suitable work rules for my situation.

just went thru this last year... basically if u have a degree they think ur too good for regular jobs at first but then after a while they let u take anything. keep applying to professional stuff and document everything or they'll cut ur benefits
