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!

honestly the whole process is a nightmare. spent 3 hours trying to file because the website kept crashing and when i finally got through, they said there was an issue with my claim that needed manual review. now its been 2 weeks and still no response from anyone at NYS Department of Labor. good luck actually getting through on the phone to check status
I had similar issues reaching someone by phone until I found Claimyr (claimyr.com). They basically call NYS Department of Labor for you and get you connected to an actual agent. There's a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Saved me hours of calling and getting busy signals.

The unemployment system is SO broken. They deny legitimate claims all the time and then make you jump through hoops to prove you deserve benefits. Meanwhile bills keep piling up and families suffer. NYS Department of Labor doesn't care about the massive effects their mistakes have on real people's lives!!
exactly this!! the whole system is designed to deny first and ask questions later
Make sure you're documenting everything during this process - all the financial hardship, medical issues from stress, anything related to how this wrongful denial is affecting your life. If you win your appeal, you'll get back pay for all the weeks you should have been receiving benefits. Don't give up, wrongful denials get overturned all the time once you get a real person to review the case.
That's good to know about the back pay. I'm definitely going to file that appeal first thing Monday morning.

I had trouble reaching NYS Department of Labor when my claim was under review. Kept getting busy signals and long hold times. Found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that actually got me through to an agent in like 10 minutes. They have a video demo showing how it works: https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI. Really helped me get answers about my denial and how to appeal it properly.
Never heard of that before. Did they charge you anything or ask for personal info?
No personal info needed, just helps you get through the phone system faster. Worth it when you can't reach anyone the normal way.

real wage unemployment is when your job pays so little you cant afford basic stuff even while working full time!! its different from regular unemployment where you just dont have a job. the government doesnt really track this kind properly
That's more about underemployment or working poverty. For unemployment benefits purposes, NYS Department of Labor focuses on your actual wage history to determine benefit amounts.

The whole system is ridiculous tbh. You can't get benefits if you quit even if your boss is making your life hell, but you also can't get benefits if you get fired for pushing back against unfair treatment. It's like they want people to just accept abuse at work. I've been trying to reach someone at NYS Department of Labor for weeks about my own situation and can never get through on the phone.

•If you're having trouble reaching NYS Department of Labor by phone, you might want to try claimyr.com - it's a service that helps you get through to an actual agent. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. I used it when I was stuck in adjudication and finally got to talk to someone who could explain what was holding up my claim.

•I appreciate that but I really need the income to pay my bills. I can't afford to be without benefits for months while fighting a denial.
