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!

I had the same issue last month with getting through to NYS Department of Labor on the phone. Kept getting busy signals or hung up on after waiting 2 hours. Finally found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me connected to an actual agent in like 15 minutes. They have a video demo showing how it works: https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI. Might be worth trying if you need to check on your adjudication status.
Never heard of that but willing to try anything at this point. Did they charge you for it?
They do charge but it was worth it to finally talk to someone who could see what was holding up my claim. Way less stressful than calling all day.

Ugh the whole system is so frustrating!! I've been trying to get through to someone at NYS Department of Labor for weeks about my adjudication that's been pending forever. The phone lines are always busy and when you do get through they just tell you to wait longer. It's like they don't want to help people who actually need it!
I had the same problem trying to reach them about my disqualification appeal. After getting hung up on dozens of times, I found this service called Claimyr at claimyr.com that actually got me through to a real NYS Department of Labor agent. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. It was honestly a lifesaver because I was about to give up completely.
Really? That sounds too good to be true but I'm desperate at this point. Did they actually help resolve your issue?
File immediately regardless! Even if you think you might not qualify, you want to get your application in as soon as possible. The worst case scenario is they deny you, but if you don't apply at all you're guaranteed to get nothing. Plus sometimes employers don't even respond to the NYS Department of Labor requests for information, which can work in your favor.

dont forget about the work search thing too!! you have to do 3 work search activities every week to keep getting benefits. lots of people get disqualified for not doing that properly. also if you turn down a job offer that NYS considers suitable you can lose benefits
Good point about work search requirements. It's actually 3 work search activities per week in New York, and they need to be documented in your work search record.

I was in a similar situation last year and honestly the 26 weeks went by faster than I expected. If you're having trouble reaching NYS Department of Labor by phone to ask questions about your claim, I found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) 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. Really saved me when I had issues with my weekly claim getting stuck.
Never heard of that but might be worth checking out, I've been trying to call NYS Department of Labor for two weeks about my adjudication issue with no luck

The whole unemployment system is ridiculous anyway. They make it so complicated that people don't even know they qualify for help when their employer screws them over with hour cuts. Of course you can get partial unemployment - employers would abuse workers even more if that wasn't an option!

Same thing happened to me but with my warehouse job. Filed for partial and it helped cover some bills while I looked for something full-time. Just make sure you keep track of all your hours and wages when you file your weekly claims.
