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!

File immediately but make sure you have all your employment info ready. They'll ask for wages and dates for every job you had in the last 18 months. If you're missing info it can delay your claim. Also start looking for work right away because you'll need to certify that you're actively job searching when you file your weekly claims.
Good point about the job search thing. How many jobs do I need to apply to per week? I heard it was 3 but I'm not sure if that's current.
It's 3 job contacts per week in New York. You need to keep a log of where you applied, when, and what type of contact it was. They can ask to see this log at any time.

Mine got stuck in adjudication for 7 weeks because my previous employer initially said I quit but then corrected it to layoff. The back and forth was ridiculous! Even though it eventually got approved retroactively, those weeks without income were brutal.
That sounds terrible! Did you end up getting all the back payments once it was resolved?
Yes, got everything backdated to my original filing date. But the stress of not knowing was awful.

THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS BROKEN regardless of what the 'official' unemployment rate says!! I've been waiting 6 weeks for my appeal hearing and they keep rescheduling it. Meanwhile bills are piling up and they act like we're just numbers in their system.
that really sucks, hope your hearing gets scheduled soon
Similar thing happened to my brother last year - he was convinced the delays were because unemployment was spiking but it turned out to be just normal NYS Department of Labor processes. Once he got through to someone who could explain what they needed, everything moved pretty quickly. Don't stress too much about the bigger picture stuff.

I had trouble reaching anyone at NYS Department of Labor when my job separation was questioned during adjudication. Ended up using this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that actually got me through to a real person. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Saved me weeks of trying to call myself.
Did that actually work? I've been trying to get through for days about my separation issue.
Yeah it really did! Got connected within a few hours instead of the endless busy signals.

Just to clarify for anyone reading this - you should have received a 1099-G form from NYS Department of Labor showing the total unemployment compensation you received in 2024. This form is what you use to report the income on your tax return. If you had taxes withheld, that will also be shown on the 1099-G. The form should be available online through your my.ny.gov account if you didn't receive it by mail.
