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!

To all those having trouble reaching a human at Kentucky Unemployment. I just ran across this video that gave me a shortcut to reach a human. Hope it helps! https://youtu.be/gpW34tRbIJY
Thanks for sharing that video, Tom! I've been struggling to get through to someone at Kentucky unemployment for weeks now. Every time I call the regular number, I either get a busy signal or sit on hold for hours before getting disconnected. I'll definitely try the shortcut you mentioned. Has anyone else here had success using that method? I really need to speak with someone about updating my claim status.

Hey Nathan, I'm dealing with a similar situation right now and it's so frustrating! I've been getting different answers from different representatives too. From what I've learned, it's pretty common for adjudicators to get involved when there are questions about eligibility or when they need to review documentation - it doesn't necessarily mean you're being denied. I'd suggest keeping detailed notes of who you talk to and what they tell you, including dates and times. That way you can reference the inconsistencies if needed. Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative's office? Sometimes they can help cut through the bureaucratic confusion. Hang in there!
@LordCommander this is really helpful advice! I'm new to all this unemployment stuff and it's overwhelming. The idea about keeping detailed notes is smart - I wish I had started doing that from the beginning. Quick question - how do you go about contacting a state representative's office? Do you just call them directly or is there a specific process? Also, has anyone else here had success with that approach? Thanks for sharing your experience!

Hi Nathan! Normally within 7 days but possibly sooner. Let us know how long it take you!
Nathan, I've been reading through your entire thread and I'm so sorry you're dealing with this frustrating situation. The inconsistency between representatives is unfortunately very common, but don't give up! Since you were terminated for availability issues (not voluntary quit), you absolutely have grounds for appeal. I'd recommend calling back and asking specifically how to file an for that incorrect determination. Try to get any written documentation from your former employer about the termination - even a text message can help prove it wasn't voluntary. Once you get the filed and that voluntary quit issue resolved, your back pay should definitely come through. You're entitled to those benefits, so keep fighting for them!
Nathan, I've been reading through your whole situation and I'm really sorry you're dealing with this mess. The fact that they're calling it a "voluntary quit" when you were actually fired for availability issues is completely wrong and needs to be appealed immediately. I went through something similar where different reps kept giving me conflicting information. What helped me was getting something in writing from my former employer - even just a text or email confirming I was terminated, not that I resigned. You should definitely file an on that voluntary quit determination because that's what's blocking your benefits. Once that gets corrected, your back pay should come through. Don't let them discourage you - you're entitled to those benefits!

I went through last year and it took about 6-8 weeks to get resolved. The key is to keep calling and checking your status online regularly. Make sure you have all your documentation ready - pay stubs, termination letters, any correspondence with your employer. They'll likely need to verify the reason for your job separation. Once it's approved, the should come through within a week or two. Hang in there, I know it's frustrating but it does eventually get sorted out!
Thanks for sharing your experience @Fatima Al-Sayed! That's really helpful to know the timeline. I'm currently going through myself and it's been about 3 weeks so far. Did you have to provide any additional documentation during the process, or was it mostly just waiting once you submitted everything initially? Also, when you say to keep calling - were you able to get updates on your case status over the phone, or were they pretty limited in what they could tell you?

Hi Erin! As Tom mentioned, "being " typically means your claim is under review but not yet approved. The processing stage can take several weeks as they verify your employment history, wages, and requirements. You should receive correspondence from regarding their decision once the review is complete. Keep checking your online account for updates and make sure to continue filing your weekly claims if required. Good luck!

Just to add to what Tom and Mateo have shared - the "being " status can be nerve-wracking, but it's actually a positive sign that your claim made it through the initial submission phase. During processing, will verify your work history with previous employers and calculate your benefit amount. Make sure you have all your documentation ready in case they request additional information, and definitely keep filing those weekly certifications even while waiting. The process can take 2-4 weeks typically, but it varies depending on their current workload. Hang in there!

•Thanks everyone for the helpful explanations! I'm new here and currently going through the same process. @Ava Thompson, that's really reassuring about the 2-4 week timeframe. I've been worried since it's been about 10 days for me with no updates. Should I be concerned if I haven't heard anything yet, or is that still within normal processing time? Also, when you mention keeping documentation ready - what specific documents should I have on hand just in case they ask?
