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!

Just want to add that if you're getting close to exhausting your benefits and still haven't found work, don't give up. There are other resources like food assistance, job training programs, and career counseling that can help bridge the gap.
Thanks for mentioning that. I'm getting worried about what happens after my benefits run out so it's good to know there are other options.
WorkSource locations can help connect you with additional resources and training opportunities. Don't wait until the last minute to explore your options.
One more thing - make sure you understand the difference between your benefit year and your benefit duration. Your benefit year is 52 weeks from when you filed, but you only get up to 26 weeks of actual benefit payments during that year.
This confused me at first too. I thought I had a whole year to collect benefits but it's really only 26 weeks worth of payments.
Right, and if you don't use all 26 weeks within your benefit year, you can't carry them over to a new claim.

Whatever happens, don't take it personally. These hearings are just about determining eligibility for benefits based on the facts. Stay professional and focused on what actually happened.
Good advice. I'll try to keep my emotions in check and just focus on presenting the facts clearly.

One last piece of advice - keep detailed records of everything related to your termination and your unemployment claim. Save emails, write down dates and times of phone calls, keep copies of all your paperwork. If there's ever a dispute or appeal, having good documentation makes all the difference.

Make sure to keep a copy of your 1099-G for your records. You'll need it if the IRS ever has questions about your unemployment income.
Good advice. I'll scan it and save a digital copy once it arrives.
You should keep tax documents for at least 3 years, sometimes longer depending on your situation.
The form will show your SSN, name, address, and the total unemployment compensation paid. Double check that all the personal info is correct before using it to file taxes.
Will do! Thanks everyone for all the helpful information. I feel much more prepared now.
You're welcome! Tax season with unemployment can be confusing the first time but it's really not too complicated once you understand the basics.

honestly the hardest part for me was just getting through to someone who could explain everything clearly. Spent so many hours on hold before I found Claimyr to help with the phone calls.

One last thing - if you're denied for any reason, you have the right to appeal. Don't just accept a denial without understanding why and whether it's worth fighting.
