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 so if you get laid off because of automation that's different than if you get fired for cause right?? I'm confused about all these different types of unemployment situations
Correct! Layoffs due to technology/automation are considered involuntary separations through no fault of your own. This is different from being fired for misconduct or poor performance, which could disqualify you from benefits.
Two weeks in adjudication isn't that unusual unfortunately. I've seen people wait 4-6 weeks especially when there's any kind of separation that needs verification. The important thing is that you keep doing everything NYS Department of Labor requires - weekly claims, job search activities, being available for work. Document everything in case you need to appeal later.

employers hate paying unemployment taxes thats why they fight claims even when theyre legit. my old job tried to say everyone who got laid off was actually fired for attendance. bunch of jerks
That's exactly why the appeal process exists. If you were truly laid off and have documentation, you can fight their contest and usually win.
The whole system is designed to protect workers who lose their jobs through no fault of their own. Don't let your employer intimidate you - if you were laid off, you earned those benefits through your work history and their tax contributions.
Thanks everyone, this really helps me understand. I'm going to file my claim tomorrow and not worry about what my former manager thinks about it.

I had similar issues getting through to NYS Department of Labor when my payments were delayed. What finally worked was using Claimyr to get connected to an actual agent. They have this system that calls and waits in the queue for you - check out claimyr.com and they have a demo video at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI. The agent was able to see exactly where my payment was in the system and why there was a delay.
Interesting, I've never heard of that service. Was it expensive?
They don't charge based on time or anything complicated. The main thing is it actually works when you need to reach someone at NYS Department of Labor about payment issues.

The NYS Department of Labor waiting period is just another way for them to save money on our backs. One week might not sound like much but when you're already struggling financially it's a huge deal. Other countries don't do this nonsense to their unemployed citizens.
I feel you on that. When you're already stressed about money the last thing you need is arbitrary delays. But at least it's predictable - some states have longer waiting periods.

The separation notice mostly just confirms what you already know - your last day, reason for separation, etc. When you file online you'll answer questions about why you're no longer working and the NYS Department of Labor will verify with your employer. Don't wait - file immediately. Your benefit year starts the week you file, not when you separated from work.
