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!

been there done that. employer blamed wage increases but then gave management bonuses the same quarter. file your partial claim asap and don't worry about the politics
Good point. I need to focus on the practical steps rather than getting frustrated about the reasons behind the hour cuts.
exactly. the unemployment system exists for these situations regardless of why they happen
quick question - do you have to do job searches for partial unemployment claims like you do for regular claims?
Yes, you still need to meet the job search requirements even for partial claims. Washington ESD requires 3 job search activities per week unless you're on standby status.
thanks. wasn't sure if partial claims had different requirements

Whatever you decide, act quickly. These overpayment notices have strict deadlines for appeals and if you miss them, your options become much more limited. Even if you're considering bankruptcy, don't let the appeal deadline pass.
Good point. I think my deadline is coming up soon. I better get moving on gathering my documentation.
I tried Claimyr when I couldn't get through to Washington ESD about my overpayment and it actually worked. Was able to speak with someone who explained that they offer payment plans as low as $25/month if you can show financial hardship. Way better than dealing with bankruptcy.
$25/month would be manageable for me. That's much better than trying to come up with the full amount at once.
Exactly. They want to collect the money, so they're usually willing to work with you on terms you can actually afford. Just have your financial information ready when you call.

I went through this 2 years ago and honestly the hardest part was the job searching while visibly pregnant. But I kept good records and Washington ESD never gave me trouble about it.
That's reassuring to hear. I'm dreading the job search part but it sounds manageable.
Just remember you're proving you're actively seeking work, not that you're going to get hired immediately. Big difference.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful info! I feel much better about filing my claim now. Going to apply for UI tomorrow and start researching PFML for later.
You've got this! Feel free to ask if you run into any issues with your claim.
Good luck! The most important thing is being honest about your situation every step of the way.

UPDATE: Payment just hit my account this morning (Wednesday)! Right on schedule like everyone said. Thanks for helping me not panic. Going to set up those bank alerts now so I don't stress about it next week.

Great to see a successful resolution! For anyone else reading this thread later, the key takeaways are: expect 1-2 business days after filing your weekly claim, first payments take longer, and don't panic if it's within the normal timeframe.
