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!

If you're having trouble reaching NYS Department of Labor about any 1099-G issues or discrepancies, I had good luck using Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get through to an actual agent. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Saved me hours of calling and getting busy signals when I needed to verify my tax documents.
sounds sketchy to me, why would you need a service to call unemployment?
It's legit - they basically handle the calling and waiting for you. Really helpful when you can't get through the normal way and need to resolve something time-sensitive like tax document errors.

I had a similar situation last year when my company downsized. I was worried about the same thing and actually called my old manager to ask. She told me not to worry about it at all and that they expected people to file for unemployment after the layoffs. If you're having trouble reaching NYS Department of Labor directly about questions like this, I recently discovered a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helps you get through to actual agents. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Really helpful when you need to talk to someone at NYS Department of Labor but can't get through on your own.
Thanks for the info! I might check that out if I have other questions about my claim.

You should definitely consider getting a lawyer especially if there's money involved. My brother tried to do his appeal alone and lost even though he had a good case. Sometimes it's worth the cost to have someone who knows the system.
While lawyers can be helpful, many successful appeals are handled pro se. It really depends on the complexity of the case and how comfortable you are presenting your side.

If you do have trouble reaching NYS Department of Labor by phone, I recently discovered this service called Claimyr at claimyr.com that helps you get through to agents. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. I used it when my claim was stuck in adjudication and actually got to talk to someone within a few hours instead of spending days trying to call. Might be worth checking out if you run into issues.
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Hopefully I won't need it but good to know there are options
never heard of that but anything is better than sitting on hold for hours

Low unemployment doesn't automatically mean YOU will find a job quickly. Regional differences matter a lot, and some industries are still struggling. The effects of low unemployment include increased worker bargaining power and wage growth, but job search can still be challenging depending on your field and location.
