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!

if yall ever get a text like this, the best thing to do is report it as spam/phishing to your carrier. just forward the entire message to 7726 (SPAM) and they'll add it to their database of known scams. helps protect people who might be more vulnerable.
didnt even know this was a thing! just forwarded the one I got yesterday
I had a legitimate issue with my ny unemployment and I couldn't get anyone on the phone for WEEKS. Eventually tried this service called claimyr.com that got me connected to a real agent in about 40 minutes. Talking to a human solved my problem in one call after 3 weeks of getting nowhere. So worth it.
This sounds like an ad lol. Does it actually work?
lol I promise I don't work for them, just a desperate person who couldn't get through on my own. It actually does work - they just handle the phone maze and hold times, then call you when a live agent picks up. Saved me literally days of my life.

I was confused about this too so I used Claimyr.com to reach an agent (after days of failed calls). It's the week ending October 2nd, and you certify on the 3rd. It was the only way I could talk to a live agent and worth every penny to finally get a straight answer.
Are there other services like this? This seems like exactly what I need but I wanna compare options
Not that I know of specifically for unemployment. I found them through a YouTube video someone posted here a while back: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE
Every time I read a thread like this I'm reminded how BROKEN the ny unemployment system truly is. Other states have clear communication but here we have to play detective just to find out basic info 🤮
PREACH. My sister in ohio got a clear letter with all the end dates explained. Meanwhile NY sends cryptic messages and has a website from 2005.
it's actually designed to be confusing. they make it hard on purpose so people give up claiming what they're entitled to

EMAIL THEM! seriously. I know it sounds too simple but I emailed explaining my situation and got a callback within 4 days. Use the contact form on their website.
I tried this and got an automated response saying they'd get back to me in 2-3 weeks 😂
Oh dang, guess I got lucky then. The system is such a mess!
Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist but does anyone else think they design the system this way on purpose to discourage ppl from claiming benefits? 🧐
It's not a conspiracy if it's true lol
my cousin works for the state (not unemployment) and says they're still using computers from the 1980s for some stuff. never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence 🤷♂️

check if she answered ANY certification questions differently in the past few weeks. My payments got held up because I accidentally said I was "unavailable for work" on ONE day when I had a doctor's appointment. That triggered a review that took 3 weeks to clear up.
I know this is annoying but id.me is actually helping reduce the massive fraud happening with unemployment. Something like $2 billion was stolen from NY unemployment alone during the pandemic. But yeah they should definitely speed up the process after verification. It's not fair to make people wait weeks for their money.
Not an unemployment worker, just stating facts. I went through this too and it sucked, but I understand why they're being careful.
my cousin works for NYSDOL and said they're so backlogged that even after ID.me there's a 2-3 week wait for manual review
Nia Thompson
anyone else think this whole id.me thing started happening right when the new budget year kicked in? feels like they trying to slow down payments to save money...just saying
