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!

I'm getting $445/week after working in tech for 3 years. The calculation seems fair based on what I was making. Just make sure you file your weekly claims on time every week.
What happens if you miss filing a weekly claim?
You can usually file late but you might not get paid for that week. Better to just stay on top of it every Sunday.
Thanks everyone for all the info! I feel much more prepared to file my claim now. Sounds like I can expect around $285/week based on my earnings history.
You're welcome! Remember to apply as soon as possible after your last day of work to avoid any delays.
Good luck! The whole process can be overwhelming but this forum helped me too when I was starting out.

Bottom line: you should be able to get unemployment after workers comp ends as long as you're medically cleared to work and available for employment. The process might take a bit longer but it's definitely possible.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice! Going to file my claim this week and see how it goes.
Good luck! Keep all your documentation organized and be patient with the process.

make sure your address is correct in the system too. i had mail going to my old address for weeks before i realized
Good catch! I'll double check all my contact info when I file.

If your employer contests your claim (says you were fired for misconduct or quit voluntarily), be prepared to provide documentation proving otherwise. Save emails, performance reviews, anything that supports your version of events.
I'm being laid off due to budget cuts so hopefully that won't be an issue, but good to know.
Layoffs are usually straightforward, but it's always good to be prepared just in case.
Last thing - don't ignore any mail or messages from Washington ESD. Even if it looks like junk mail, open it. Missing a deadline or failing to respond can mess up your benefits big time.
Will do! Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice. Feeling much more prepared now.
Good luck with everything! The process seems overwhelming at first but it gets easier once you get into the routine.

Keep your pay stubs and employment records handy in case ESD needs additional documentation during the application process.
