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!

One more thing to consider - if you were working part-time and are looking for full-time work, make sure to indicate that on your application. You might qualify for benefits even if you find another part-time job, as long as your earnings are below a certain threshold.
Interesting! I didn't know you could potentially get partial benefits while working part-time. That's really good to know.
Yeah it's called partial unemployment. Pretty helpful if you can only find part-time work while searching for full-time employment.
UPDATE: I finally got through using Claimyr and filed my claim! Turns out I do qualify and should receive my first payment next week. The agent confirmed that my 4 months of earnings were more than enough to meet the requirement. Thanks everyone for the help and advice!
They got me connected to an agent within about 15 minutes. So much better than the hours I wasted trying to call on my own.
Glad it worked out! Now you just need to keep up with your weekly claims and job search requirements.

One more thing - if you're denied initially, don't give up! You can appeal and provide additional documentation. Sometimes the first reviewer doesn't have all the information they need.
Thanks for that reminder. I'll keep that in mind if things don't go smoothly.
The appeals process can be lengthy but it's worth it if you have a valid claim.

this thread has been super helpful! i'm in a similar situation and was wondering about all the same things. thanks to everyone who shared their experiences
I'm glad it's helping others too! Everyone here has been so informative and supportive.
definitely makes the whole process feel less overwhelming when you know what to expect
Just want to add that if your claim gets denied for any reason, don't give up. You have the right to appeal the decision, and many appeals are successful if you have good documentation and a valid reason for the denial.
Hopefully I won't need to appeal, but it's good to know that option exists if needed.
Right, most straightforward layoff cases get approved without issues. But it's always good to know your rights just in case.

One last thing - if you do end up needing to appeal anything or have complex questions, don't hesitate to use resources like that Claimyr service to actually talk to someone at ESD. Sometimes these situations need human clarification.
Good advice! I'll keep that in mind if any issues come up during the process.
Better to get clarity upfront than deal with problems later. The ESD agents are actually pretty helpful when you can reach them.

The application process itself is pretty straightforward once you have all your information together. Just make sure you answer all questions honestly and completely. If you're not sure about something, it's better to call and ask than to guess wrong.

Final tip: keep copies of everything you submit and take screenshots of your weekly claims. The system sometimes has glitches and it's helpful to have proof of what you submitted and when.
