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!

@OP If you keep having trouble getting through on that number, seriously consider using Claimyr. The regular DEO lines are completely overwhelmed. I spent 3 days trying to get through before using their service. When you're dealing with $600 of unexpected money, you want to get it sorted out quickly. Just make sure you have your claimant ID and all your info ready when you do get through to an agent.

•I ended up using them too after trying for WEEKS to get through about my overpayment. Say what you want but at least I FINALLY got to talk to someone instead of calling 50+ times a day.

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that I spoke with a DEO supervisor yesterday (after MANY attempts). She confirmed a few important things: 1. The last $600 payment will be for the benefit week ending July 25th 2. If you have weeks claimed before July 25th that haven't been processed yet, you WILL still get the $600 for those weeks when they process 3. DEO has a team ready to implement whatever Congress passes, but she admitted it will take time to program their system 4. Florida DEO cannot extend the $600 on their own - it MUST come from federal legislation She recommended everyone make sure their direct deposit info is current in CONNECT and that you continue claiming weeks even after the $600 stops. Also, keep up with your work searches since that requirement is back in effect.

•Thank you! This is really helpful information. I'm especially glad to hear that if they're behind on processing claims (which they always are), we'll still get the $600 for weeks before the cutoff. That's at least something.

lucky you haha I'm still waiting on 3 weeks from april that are stuck in adjudication hell ðŸ˜

For anyone else finding this thread with a similar issue: ALWAYS contact DEO when you receive unexpected money. Document the call reference number and the name of the agent you speak with. Take screenshots of your CONNECT account showing the payment. If they later try to claim it was an overpayment, you'll have evidence you tried to verify. The burden of proof should be on them, not us!
Good advice! I took screenshots of everything just in case. The agent gave me a confirmation number too which I wrote down.

Has anyone had luck with getting partial unemployment? Like if you find a part-time job that pays less than your full benefit amount? Might be an option to at least get some income while looking for full-time work?
I did partial unemployment last year. You can earn up to $58 a week without reduction, then they reduce your weekly benefit $1 for $1 after that. So if your weekly benefit is $275 and you earn $100, you'd get $233 in benefits ($275 - ($100-$58) = $233). It's something but the income limits are super low.

Make sure you're doing all your work searches (5 per week) and claiming your weeks on time! If you miss claiming a week, you don't get paid for it - I learned that the hard way. Also, DEO is really strict about the work search requirements now compared to during COVID. They're doing more audits and checking if job contacts are legitimate. Just wanted to mention that since you said you're new to the system.

•Thanks for the reminder! I've been keeping detailed records of all my job applications. Is there any specific format they prefer for documenting work searches?

When you claim weeks in CONNECT, they'll ask you to enter the work search details - company name, date of contact, method of contact (online/in-person/phone), result, etc. But I also keep my own spreadsheet with more details like job posting links, confirmation emails, contact info, etc. If they audit you, having those extra details really helps. Some people take screenshots of job applications too. Better safe than sorry!

•That's great advice! I'll start keeping a spreadsheet with all those details. I definitely don't want to risk losing my benefits because of documentation issues.
