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!

Has anyone here actually used Claimyr successfully? I'm curious if it really works or if people are just lucky. I've been trying to reach Washington ESD for three weeks about my adjudication status.
I used it last month and it was legit. Way better than the regular phone number which just hangs up on you half the time.
Okay you've convinced me. I'll check out that demo video and see if it's worth trying.
Bottom line: ASU insurance is private coverage you might have through loans or credit accounts. Washington ESD unemployment is government benefits. They're totally separate things even though they both relate to unemployment situations. Hope that helps clear things up!
Thank you! This thread has been incredibly helpful. I feel like I actually understand the difference now.
This is exactly the kind of confusion that makes dealing with unemployment so stressful. Good explanation!

One more thing to consider - make sure you understand the tax implications of IHSS income too. It might affect your taxes differently than regular employment.
Good point. I hadn't even thought about the tax side of things yet.
Yeah, since IHSS is technically self-employment income, you might need to pay self-employment taxes on it.

One more thing - make sure your employer doesn't contest your claim. If they do, it could delay your benefits while Washington ESD investigates. Most layoffs are straightforward but it's something to be aware of.
It's a company-wide layoff due to budget cuts, so hopefully that won't be an issue. But good to know it could happen.
This has been a really informative thread. I'm saving it for reference because I know other people in my situation who could use this info. Thanks everyone!
Agreed! I feel so much more prepared now. I'll definitely file first thing Monday morning.
Good luck with your claim! The process seems scary at first but it's pretty straightforward once you get started.

•Good to hear another positive review of that service. Seems like it might be worth having as a backup option.

Bottom line - with your $52k income you're probably looking at $450-550 per week for up to 26 weeks. Not bad as a safety net while you find your next job. Just make sure you understand all the requirements for maintaining eligibility.
