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!

The job search requirements are actually pretty flexible. You can count things like updating your resume, attending virtual job fairs, or even researching companies as job search activities.

If you run into problems or have questions after filing, don't hesitate to call for help. I know the phone lines are busy, but that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier really does work. Got me through to a real person in minutes instead of hours.

Thanks everyone for all the help! I feel much more confident about starting the application now.

Good luck! The process seems overwhelming at first but it's really not that bad once you get started. Don't hesitate to ask if you have more questions.

That's a good clarification. I'm hoping for a favorable ALJ decision that both sides accept so this can finally be over.

0 coins

Most cases end at the ALJ level, so you should be in good shape if the hearing went as well as you described.

Does anyone know if they announce the new maximum benefit amount before July or do we just find out when it happens?

0 coins

They usually announce it sometime in late spring/early summer, but it doesn't always get a lot of publicity. Sometimes it just shows up in their quarterly newsletter or on their website.

This whole thread has been super informative. I was getting worried that I was missing out on some increase I was supposed to apply for or something.

0 coins

Nope, it's all automatic if you're affected by it. No action needed on your part.

i filed last month and got my first payment about 3 weeks later... not too bad considering all the horror stories i heard. just stay on top of your weekly claims!

That's encouraging! Hopefully mine goes just as smoothly.

The Washington ESD customer service can actually be helpful if you can get through to them. Had a question about my quarterly earnings and the agent walked me through exactly how to read the wage statement.

Good to know they're helpful when you can reach them!

The anticipation is killing me too! At least we're all in this together. Update us when you hear something!

Will do! Appreciate everyone's input on the timeline expectations.

I had a friend who used that Claimyr service when Washington ESD wasn't responding to his messages about a delay. Turned out there was just a simple verification issue that got resolved immediately once he talked to an agent.

0 coins

Seems like several people have mentioned that service. Might be worth looking into if I don't hear anything soon.

0 coins

Yeah, sometimes there are easy fixes that you'd never know about without talking to someone directly.
