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!

If anyone needs help getting through to Washington ESD to ask specific questions about their partial unemployment situation, that Claimyr service really works. I was skeptical at first but it saved me hours of trying to call on my own.

Hope it works out for you! Partial unemployment benefits can really help bridge the gap when hours get cut.

Update us on Tuesday OP! Always curious to hear if new claimants get their first payment on schedule.

0 coins

Will do! I'll post an update Tuesday afternoon either way.

tuesday morning around 3-6am is when most direct deposits hit. if you have the debit card it might not show until later in the day tuesday or even wednesday depending on your bank

I have direct deposit set up so hopefully early Tuesday morning!

The hardest part for me was waiting for that first payment. Even when everything goes right, it's usually 2-3 weeks before you see money. Try to have some savings or ask family for help to bridge the gap if needed.

0 coins

Yeah that's the scary part. I have maybe 2 weeks of expenses saved up.

You should be okay if you apply this week and everything processes normally. Just stay on top of your weekly claims.

Good luck with your application! The system isn't perfect but it does work. Most people get their benefits without major issues. Just follow the steps everyone outlined and you should be fine.

Thanks everyone! I feel so much better about the process now. Going to apply tonight.

The hardest part for me was figuring out my base year wages. Make sure you understand which quarters they're asking about - it's not always the most recent ones.

0 coins

How do they determine which quarters to use?

0 coins

They use the first four of the last five completed quarters before you file your claim. It's confusing but the application will tell you which quarters they need.

Good luck with your claim! Most people who are legitimately laid off get approved without any issues. The system works, it's just slow sometimes.

Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice! I'm feeling much more confident about the process now.

my claim finally got approved after using that claimyr service someone mentioned earlier, was able to talk to someone who explained what was holding things up

Glad it worked out for you! Having direct contact with an agent really does make a difference.
