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!

After my unemployment check went missing, I spent 2 days calling non-stop trying to reach someone. Busy signal every time. Found claimyr.com and got through in an hour. Talking to an agent got my $ unlocked so fast - turns out my check was sent to my old address even though I updated it months ago.
yeah right, another 'miracle solution'... what's the catch? 🙄
no catch, they just wait on hold so you don't have to. literally saved me days of my life. check the reviews
OP have you tried going physically to a NYS career center? sometimes they can help you with unemployment issues too and at least you're dealing with a real person
I didn't know that was an option! Is there a website where I can find the nearest location?
yep just google "ny career center near me" - make sure to bring ID and any paperwork you have

I swear they design the system to be confusing on purpose. When I got my backpay it came in 3 separate deposits over 2 weeks. First big chunk, then nothing for 8 days, then two smaller payments back to back. Nobody at NY unemployment could explain why. 🤦♂️

The unemployment website is useless for this. You 100% need to call and talk to a human. If your reason was that you were working a temp job, they should be able to help you claim those weeks since you're eligible again now.
Thanks! Seems like calling is definitely the way to go based on all the comments.
just went through this exact thing. its a nightmare BUT they will backdate you if you can get a human on the phone. its just the 'getting a human' part thats impossible. i ended up using claimyr.com after trying for 3 weeks to get through. paid them and had an agent on the line within the hour. they fixed it all up on that call. best money i spent all year considering how much backpay i was owed!
another day, another company promising to fix the unfixable unemployment system lol
lol I felt the same way but I was desperate. I was shocked when it actually worked.

whatever you do, DON'T file an amended return for this! the IRS specifically said not to do that for the unemployment tax exclusion. it will just mess things up more and push you to the back of line
^ THIS!!! My brother didn't listen and filed amended return anyway and now he's been waiting 9 months with no end in sight 🤦♀️
tip from a former IRS employee: call the regular number but speak spanish when prompted. the spanish line has way shorter wait times and most agents speak english too. they'll just transfer you if needed
OMG this actually works??? 🤯
sometimes! it depends on staffing that day but worth trying. I did it for years when I worked there lol

Is it possible you have a different overpayment? Sometimes people get confused because they had more than one issue. Double check all your DOL correspondence to make sure this isn't a separate overpayment.

•I thought about that but the dates match exactly. It's the same 3 weeks from May that they're claiming I have forfeit days for. And the amount is identical to what they already took.

•Then yeah, sounds like a system error on their part. Their computers are from like 1985 so I'm not surprised. Keep us updated if you get it resolved!

i faxed them my documents (yes FAXED because sometimes their online system doesnt work) and they fixed my issue. try sending a fax with all your proof. sounds ancient but sometimes the old ways work better with them
