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!

have u checked ur spam folder? sometimes the important emails from unemployment go there. happened to me and i missed an important interview 😣

7 weeks is sadly normal these days. It took me 11 weeks last fall. The key is to keep certifying every week so when you do get approved, you'll get all that backpay at once. And yes, from what you described, you should definitely qualify with a family emergency absence.

After 3 moths of my account being locked in review status, I found claimyr.com through reddit. Got connected to an agent in like 30 minutes who cleared everything up. Wish I'd known about it sooner instead of stressing for months! my backpay hit my account 2 days later

•does it actually work? i've been trying to get thru for weeks
yep! they just call for you and connect when they get a human. saved me literally hundreds of redial attempts

Don't break down! The NY unemployment system does this to almost everyone at some point. They make it hard on purpose hoping people will give up. You just need to talk to a real person who can fix it immediately. Be persistent!

you need to call the interstate claims unit directly. the regular agents don't know how to handle out-of-state employer situations. the number is different than the main unemployment line.
Sara Unger
•Do you happen to have that number handy? I've been calling the main line.
don't have it in front of me but if you google "ny unemployment interstate claims unit" it should come up. just be prepared to wait on hold FOREVER. I waited 2+ hours when I called them.
Its all about the tax withholding. If your company wasn't withholding NY state taxes, then NY doesn't show your wages. I bet if you look at your W-2, it shows the other state's withholding. You'll need to send in all those paystubs AND a letter explaining that you physically worked in NY even though the employer is based elsewhere.

the system is completely clogged rn because of all the tech layoffs hitting NY. my friend who works in the UI office said they're getting 3x the normal applications since april.

I was in the EXACT same situation! Company went under with no warning. If you have the FEIN that's HUGE - they can verify your claim much faster. Mine took 5 weeks from application to first payment once I got someone on the phone. I couldn't get through for weeks until I tried claimyr.com - totally worth it, got my backpay released in one call.

•what's this claimyr thing? never heard of it
Alana Willis
•It's a service that calls unemployment for you and stays on hold, then rings your phone when a real person answers. Saved me hours of frustration. claimyr.com

hot take: the backpay system is intentionally broken to save the state money. they know most people will give up eventually.

Check your spam folder!!!! My backpay notification was sitting there for 3 months before I found it. They needed additional info and I never saw the email.
