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!

Ughhh their system is THE WORST. You're supposed to certify on your assigned day BUT you can certify any day of the week. The assigned days are just to prevent everyone hitting the system at once. But NEVER certify twice in one week or youll be flagged for fraud. As for the letter - you must follow those instructions or your benefits will be held until you do.

I was stuck in a similar situation last month and wasted days trying to call them with no luck. I finally broke down and used that Claimyr service everyone talks about here (claimyr.com) and it actually worked! Got a callback in about 45 mins and the agent fixed my missing payment issue on the spot. Best money I've spent in a while considering it got my benefits flowing again.

•did you have to give them any personal info? seems kinda sketchy
Lia Quinn
•they don't ask for any personal info at all - they just connect the call to your phone when they reach an agent. you talk directly to unemployment
Asher Levin
Are you using the mobile site or desktop? The mobile site is trash and often doesn't display payment info correctly. Try logging in from a computer if you haven't already.

Has anyone tried the in-person career centers? I went to one last week thinking they could help with my claim but they just directed me back to the phone number I've been calling for weeks 😤
Edwards Hugo
•Same experience! Total waste of time and bus fare. They literally can't access the unemployment system at the career centers anymore.
Gianna Scott
•The one on Fulton St told me they haven't handled unemployment claims in person since 2019. Everything is centralized now.
Alfredo Lugo
I work for a different state agency (not unemployment) and I can tell you the work from home thing is about saving money on office space. They've reduced our physical offices by 60% and now hotdesk when we do come in. It's not about being lazy - the state is cutting costs wherever possible.
Isaac Wright
•That makes sense from a budget perspective but what about customer service? If service quality suffers shouldn't that matter?
Alfredo Lugo
•Totally agree with you. The problem is leadership makes these decisions based purely on budget numbers without considering impact on service. Beancounters run everything now.

anyone tried going to an actual unemployment office? do they even have those anymore?
they're called career centers now but they don't handle claim issues in person anymore since covid. you still gotta call 🙄
Tony Brooks
•thats so dumb. everything about this system is broken.
Hey, I was in your exact situation 2 weeks ago. After trying to call for a month straight I used claimyr.com and they got me a callback within hours. Agent told me my claim had a fraud flag for some reason 🤬 but they removed it and I got all my backpay last week. It was such a relief! Check them out if you can't get through on your own.
Nathan Kim
•Thank you! Seems like a lot of people have had success with them. Gonna check it out today.

So much confusion on here! Let me clear things up a bit... NY unemployment is currently taking 3-5 weeks for most claims. BUT! There's always a 'waiting week' where you won't be paid anyway. Make sure you're certifying every single week including that first week. If you get the dreaded 'we need more information' message, you're looking at a longer timeline unless you can talk to someone. That's where I'd recommend using a service like claimyr.com - it got me through to an agent who fixed my issue immediately. Hang in there and don't give up!

•Actually the waiting week was waived during covid and they never brought it back. One of the few good changes they kept!

•Oh really? That's awesome news! Thanks for the correction - the NY unemployment system changes so often it's hard to keep up 😅

After u apply, u shud get a letter in mail and a email in like a week telling u if ur eligible. Then it can take another couple weeks to start getting paid. ALWAYS certify weekly even if pending!!!
