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!

Be very careful with any site asking for payment upfront. The legitimate unemployment process through NYS Department of Labor is completely free - filing claims, weekly certifications, job search assistance, even appeals if your claim gets disqualified. Third-party companies can't speed up adjudication or guarantee approvals, despite what their marketing claims.
What about services that help you get through to NYS Department of Labor on the phone? I've been trying to call for days about my adjudication status and can never get through.
I actually used a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) when I couldn't reach anyone at NYS Department of Labor for weeks. They have this system that calls repeatedly until they get you connected to an actual agent - saved me hours of frustration. There's even a demo video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI. Definitely helped me get my adjudication issue resolved faster than waiting indefinitely.

If you're having trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor by phone to ask questions about your eligibility, I had good luck using a service called Claimyr that helped me connect with an actual agent. They have this system that calls repeatedly until they get through and then connects you. There's a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Way better than sitting on hold for hours or getting hung up on. The site is claimyr.com - helped me get my claim status checked when I couldn't reach anyone the normal way.
That's interesting, I didn't know services like that existed. Might be worth trying if I run into issues with my claim.

Honestly the NYS Department of Labor makes these forms so confusing on purpose. Like why do I need to know economic theory just to get my benefits? Just give me my money and let me find a job!

I had trouble getting through to the NYS Department of Labor when I needed to ask questions about my claim status. The phone lines are always busy and their online chat rarely works. If you run into issues reaching them, I found this service called Claimyr that helps you get through to an actual agent. Check out claimyr.com - they have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Saved me hours of calling and getting hung up on.
Is that one of those services that charges you? I'm already broke from being unemployed lol
It's way easier than trying to call dozens of times yourself. When you really need to talk to someone about your claim, it's worth it.
Filing for unemployment was actually easier than I expected. Just go to labor.ny.gov and click on unemployment insurance. The online application walks you through everything step by step. Make sure you have your social security number, employment history for the last 18 months, and your most recent pay stub ready.

I was in a similar situation last year and couldn't get through to NYS Department of Labor on the phone for weeks to ask about my options. Found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helped me actually reach an agent. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Turned out I qualified for benefits even though I thought I wouldn't. Sometimes talking to an actual person at NYS Department of Labor helps you understand your rights better than trying to figure it out online.

•Never heard of that but honestly anything that helps you get through to a real person at NYS Department of Labor sounds worth trying. The phone system is impossible.

Just remember that even if you get fired and qualify for UI, you still have to do the job search requirements. NYS Department of Labor requires 3 work search activities per week and you have to keep a log. Don't assume getting benefits means you can just coast - they're pretty strict about the job search stuff now.
