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!

Denied unemployment after workers comp - should I request recalculation to extend my base period by 2 quarters?

I was on workers comp from March 2023 to January 2024 and got a new teaching job in February. Applied for unemployment and got denied for not having enough wages. Never included workers comp on my application because I didnt think it counted as wages. After I received my denial letter, I was looking through the unemployment guidelines and found some information that might help my case. The denial letter mentioned I "do not qualify using either base period" but I'm seeing that there might be exceptions for people like me who were on Workers' Compensation. According to the unemployment information I found: "If you do not qualify using either base period AND You received Workers' Compensation payments OR Volunteer Firefighters' benefits during the Basic base period, THEN We may extend the Basic base period back up to 2 calendar quarters. This will depend on how many base period quarters you received these benefits." Since I was on workers comp for almost a full year (March 2023 to January 2024), I think this extension might apply to me. The document also mentions: "If you qualify using the Basic base period, we use that period to establish your claim. If you do not qualify in the Basic base period, we will calculate using the Alternate base period." I also noticed something about being able to request recalculation: "You can ask us to recalculate your rate using the Alternate base period. You have 10 days from the date of the initial notice to make the request." My denial letter came last week, so I think I'm still within that 10-day window to request a recalculation. The document also mentions: "If you do not qualify in any of these base periods, AND You worked for pay in the calendar quarter when you filed, AND You are still unemployed after that quarter ends, AND You think that you may qualify using the latest work, THEN You should apply again for benefits after this calendar quarter ends." Since I started my teaching job in February but it ended (I was a substitute), should I wait until the end of this quarter to apply again? Anyone know if workers comp counts toward my base period calculation? And does anyone have experience with getting those 2 extra quarters added to the base period for workers comp cases as mentioned in this document? Really need help figuring this out as I'm struggling financially right now.

bruh the unemployment system is so broken. why do they make everything so complicated 🤮

Quick tip: scan all ur workers comp docs before calling. theyll probably ask you to upload them to ur account

good lookin out! gonna do that rn

Seriously consider showing up with any documentation you have about trying to advance - emails to HR, your supervisor, performance reviews, job postings you applied to internally. The more paper trail you have the better your chances. But ngl its gonna be an uphill battle 🏔️
