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 had such a hard time getting through to NYS Department of Labor when I had questions about my application. The phone lines are always busy and I kept getting disconnected. Finally found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helped me get through to an actual agent. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Made the whole process so much easier when I could actually talk to someone about my specific situation.
How much does that cost though? I'm already strapped for cash being unemployed...
I get being tight on money, but honestly it was worth it to avoid the stress of calling dozens of times and never getting through. Plus they got me connected the same day I used them.

THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS SO SLOW! I waited almost a month and had to call like 50 times before anyone would tell me what was happening with my claim. They act like they're doing you a favor when it's YOUR money you paid into the system!

I had trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor when I needed to check on my claim status after being fired. Kept getting busy signals for weeks. Found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that actually got me connected to a real person at NYS Department of Labor in like 20 minutes. They have a video demo showing how it works: https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI. Might be worth trying if you run into the same phone issues I did.
interesting, never heard of that before. did they charge you anything?
Yeah there's a fee but honestly it was worth it to actually talk to someone instead of calling 100 times a day. Saved me so much stress.

Look, the system is set up to deny benefits to people who quit, period. They'll find any excuse to say you didn't have good enough cause. I've seen people with documented harassment get denied because they didn't follow some bureaucratic procedure. If you absolutely have to quit, make sure you have rock solid documentation and even then be prepared to fight for months.

just so you know the NYS Department of Labor system is pretty backed up right now so expect delays in processing. took them 3 weeks to approve my partial claim last month even though everything was correct

Make sure your employer doesn't try to claim this is seasonal work if it's not actually seasonal! Some companies try to avoid partial unemployment claims by misclassifying the work reduction. Document everything about what they told you regarding the business slowdown.

•Good point - they said it's due to losing a major client, not seasonal. Should I get that in writing somehow?
