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!

Sorry to hear about your layoff. The 26 weeks should give you enough time to find something good if you stay focused. The Washington job market isn't terrible right now, especially for warehouse and logistics work.
Thanks for the encouragement. I'm actually feeling pretty optimistic about finding something within the 26 week window.
Last thing - remember to file your weekly claims every week even if you're not sure about something. Missing a week can cause delays in your payments. It's better to file and ask questions later than to skip a week.
Good advice. I'll make sure to stay on top of the weekly filings. This has been really helpful - thanks everyone for the information!

Also if you do any side work or gig work while claiming you have to report that income on your weekly claims. Don't try to hide it because they cross-reference with tax records.
I was thinking about doing some DoorDash while looking for work. How does that affect benefits?
You can still do gig work but they'll reduce your weekly benefit by whatever you earn over a small threshold. Just be honest about it when you file your weekly claims.
Update on the Claimyr thing - I used them again this week when I had questions about reporting part-time work and it was just as smooth as last time. Really wish I'd known about it months ago when I was spending entire days trying to call ESD.
I bookmarked their site just in case I run into issues. Hopefully the initial filing goes smooth though.
Yeah hopefully! But good to have backup options when dealing with ESD.

Hang in there OP. Most people do get approved eventually, it's just the waiting that's stressful. Focus on job searching in the meantime.
Thanks for the encouragement! I am job hunting but the benefits would definitely help with the financial pressure.
Absolutely. The benefits give you breathing room to find the right job instead of just taking anything out of desperation.
One more vote for that Claimyr thing if you need to talk to someone. Worked for me when I couldn't get through the normal way.
I'm definitely keeping that option in mind if I don't hear anything by early next week. Thanks everyone for all the advice!
No problem! This whole process is stressful enough without having to figure it out alone.

The bottom line is the system is available 24/7 for filing, but avoid peak times if possible. Have your documents ready, use a stable internet connection, and you should be good to go.
