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!

Ugh the whole system is so frustrating!! Employers lie all the time and NYS Department of Labor just believes whatever they say first. I've been trying to get through to an actual person at NYS Department of Labor for WEEKS about my own claim issues. The phone system is impossible.
I had the same problem reaching NYS Department of Labor by phone until someone told me about this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com). They basically call for you and get you connected to an actual agent. I was skeptical but watched their demo video (https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI) and decided to try it. Got through the same day and finally got my adjudication issue resolved. Might be worth checking out if you can't get through on your own.
wait so if you quit because of unsafe conditions that counts as being fired? i didnt know that was a thing
Not exactly. It's called constructive discharge - when working conditions become so intolerable that a reasonable person would feel forced to quit. NYS Department of Labor has to determine if the conditions were severe enough to justify leaving.

THE SYSTEM IS SO CONFUSING!! why can't they just have a simple list of who can and can't apply instead of making everyone guess if they qualify or not. I spent weeks worried I couldn't file only to find out I was eligible the whole time.
I know right? The website makes it sound like almost nobody qualifies but most people who lost their job through no fault of their own can file
Bottom line - if your friend was fired from a regular W-2 job and it wasn't for serious misconduct, she should definitely try filing a claim. NYS Department of Labor will review her case during adjudication and make the final determination. It's better to apply and potentially get denied than not apply at all and miss out on benefits she's entitled to.

If you're having trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor to file or have questions, I actually used this service called Claimyr recently when my claim got stuck in adjudication. They help you get connected to actual agents without waiting on hold forever. Check out claimyr.com - they have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Way easier than trying to call the regular number and getting hung up on.
Thanks I'll check that out if I run into issues filing online. Hopefully the website works okay though.

THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS A JOKE! They make it impossible to get help when you need it most. I've been trying to resolve an overpayment issue for months and every time I call they transfer me to someone else who transfers me again. It's like they WANT people to give up.
Just wanted to add that when I reopened my claim last year, everything went smoothly online. The key is making sure you do it as soon as possible after becoming unemployed again. There might be a waiting week depending on your situation, but your benefit amount should stay the same as your original claim.

The whole system is ridiculous anyway. They make it so complicated to figure out if you even qualify and then the application process is a joke. I've been fighting with them for weeks over some stupid technicality about my last day of work.

Just file the application! Worst case they deny it and you can appeal. Better to try than assume you don't qualify.
