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 NOW! Don't wait even one day. I made that mistake and lost a whole week of benefits because I thought I needed to wait or something. The NYS Department of Labor system is set up so your benefit year starts when you file, not when you lost your job. Even if they deny you initially, you can appeal and still get paid retroactively from your filing date.

If you're having trouble getting through to the NYS Department of Labor to ask questions about your specific situation, I recently found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helped me reach an actual agent. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Might be worth checking out if you need to speak with someone directly about the military spouse provisions.
Thanks for the suggestion! I might need that if I run into any complications with my application.

ugh the whole system is so frustrating though!! even when you have good cause they make you jump through so many hoops and the adjudication takes FOREVER. I've been waiting 4 weeks just to hear back about my claim and can't get through to anyone at NYS Department of Labor on the phone
I had the same problem trying to reach someone at NYS Department of Labor about my adjudication status. Ended up using this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that actually got me through to a real person in like 20 minutes. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Honestly saved my sanity because I was getting nowhere calling myself.
Wait seriously? How much does something like that cost? I'm already broke from not working.
File the claim ASAP regardless! Even if your initial claim gets denied, you'll have your application date locked in. The appeals process exists for exactly these situations where there's good cause for quitting. Don't let anyone tell you not to apply just because you quit - that's not how it works with NYS Department of Labor.

The whole system is a nightmare. I've been dealing with NYS Department of Labor for months and they make everything unnecessarily complicated. Half the time their website doesn't work properly and when you finally get someone on the phone they give you different answers than the last person you talked to.
