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!

Final thought - document everything! Keep records of every phone call, every letter, every payment. If there are any disputes later, you'll be glad you have the paper trail.
Great advice! I'm going to start a folder right now to keep track of everything related to this overpayment situation.
Thank you everyone for all the helpful advice and encouragement. I feel much better about tackling this now that I know what my options are. I'm going to try to get through to Washington ESD this week and see about setting up a payment plan or possibly appealing if I think I have grounds. Will update you all on how it goes!
You've got this! And remember, Claimyr is there if you need help getting through to someone at ESD.
Good luck! The hardest part is just getting started. Once you're talking to them, you'll find there are more options than you thought.

Bottom line - if you worked regularly for the past year and got laid off through no fault of your own, you probably qualify. The exact calculations matter for your benefit amount, but meeting basic qualification isn't as complicated as it seems.
Thanks everyone! This has been really helpful. I'm going to file my claim this week.
Good luck! Don't hesitate to ask if you run into any issues during the application process.

One more tip - if your employer contests your claim for any reason, don't panic. Layoffs are usually pretty clear cut, but if there's a dispute you'll get a chance to tell your side of the story.
I don't think my employer would contest it since it was clearly a layoff, but good to know I'd have options if they did.
The whole process seems scary at first but it's really not that bad once you get started. Just be truthful and thorough in your application.
Thanks everyone for all the advice! I feel much more confident about this now.
You've got this! Layoffs are one of the most straightforward cases for unemployment approval.
