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!

I'm dealing with this exact problem right now! My husband actually drove to Albany to the main office to pay in person because we were so paranoid about mail issues. Extreme solution but we got a receipt on the spot so 🤷♀️
NY unemployment is such a joke. They overpaid me, then took 5 MONTHS to cash the check I sent back. Meanwhile they kept sending threatening letters saying I hadn't paid! Make sure you keep DETAILED records of everything.
That's exactly what I'm afraid of! Did you eventually get it sorted out?
Yeah but only after I basically harassed them with calls every day for 2 weeks straight. The left hand doesn't know what the right is doing over there.

IMPORTANT INFO: 'Return to work' is a specific term in the unemployment system that means you are now regularly employed. One hour of orientation/paperwork is NOT considered 'returned to work' - you should report the hour and earnings but answer NO to that question until you begin your regular work schedule.

anybody try going to the actual IRS office in person? I'm considering it at this point
Tried it. They're appointment only and appointments are booked 3+ months out. Waste of time.
claimyr.com worked better for me than trying to go in person. Got me to a live agent who could actually help.

I'm confused...is this adjustment happening automatically or do we need to file an amended return? I paid taxes on about $22,000 in unemployment last year.
It's automatic for the basic unemployment exclusion. You only need to file an amended return if the exclusion now makes you eligible for credits or deductions you couldn't claim before. With $22K in unemployment, you'd get an exclusion on just the first $12K of that.
Thanks for clarifying! I'll just wait for the automatic adjustment then.
ANYONE ELSE STUCK IN PENDING FOR MONTHS ON NY UNEMPLOYMENT? This tax refund is nice but I'm still fighting to get my regular benefits from 3 months ago! System is completely broken. Can't get anyone on the phone no matter how many times I call 😤
wait for real? i might have to try that. this is driving me insane and I'm about to be evicted if I don't get my backpay
I can second that recommendation. Used them last month after seeing it mentioned in this sub. Got a callback in about 2 hours and the agent was able to release all my pending payments. Talking to an agent got my $ unlocked so fast after months of waiting.

Not gonna lie am jealous. They DECREASED mine by $3400 and when I called (after like 500 attempts) they said there was nothing they could do because the "system had recalculated" my eligiblity based on some formula. Like thanks for the explanation 🤡

Dude my coworker had this exact same thing happen!!! She freaked out thinking it was a mistake but then got a letter saying they had "recalculated her eligibility based on additional wage information" - I think they do this periodically. She just kept claiming like normal and it's been fine.
