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!

The NYC Bar Association has a free legal hotline that might be able to help: 212-626-7373. They helped my cousin with his appeal.

sometimes their system does this when they need more documentation from you. log into your account and check the "messages" section to see if there's anything in there. also check if there are any outstanding questionnaires or forms they need you to fill out.
Nothing in messages or my to-do list... it's like they're ghosting me ðŸ˜
the old unemployment ghostaroo! 👻 keep trying to call - sometimes the website doesnt show whats actually happening with your claim
This literally happened to me two days ago!!! I've been getting payments for 5 months, then suddenly denied. I called non-stop for 2 days then got through this morning. They said it was a "verification issue" and fixed it on the spot. My advice - KEEP CALLING until you get a human. Don't rely on the website to fix itself.
Honestly it was horrible - I called 23 times before even getting in the hold queue, then waited 2.5 hours. Total nightmare!
So I was about to throw my phone after 3 hours on hold when I found claimyr.com - they waited on hold for me and just called when they got a rep. talking to an agent got my $ unlocked so fast, totally worth it

The whole unemployment system needs to be rebuilt from scratch. Adding ID.me on top of an already broken system just created a bigger mess. I'm a software engineer and I look at this system and just cringe at how poorly designed the whole thing is.
FYI for anyone dealing with this: there's a NYS unemployment hearing office that can sometimes help with stalled claims. Call 1-855-528-5618 and explain that your ID verification is completed but your claim is stuck. Sometimes they can move things along faster than waiting for a callback.

•That number just gave me another automated system when I called ðŸ˜
try calling first thing in the morning, they have fewer calls then. And make sure to select option 2, then 1.

Check if ur claim says 'released' or 'processed' - those mean different things and affect when u get paid

What worked for me with ny unemployment was calling exactly at 8:00:00 am. Like, setting an alarm for 7:59 and dialing at exactly 8. Still waited 20 minutes but got through. Good luck!

Try calling their alternate number: 888-783-1370. Sometimes less people use this one so shorter wait times.
