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 ever have issues with payments or need to speak to someone at Washington ESD, that Claimyr service mentioned earlier is legit. I used it when my payments got held up and they helped me get through to resolve it quickly.
Good to know it's been helpful for multiple people. I'll definitely keep it in mind.
Yeah seems like a useful backup option when the regular phone lines are jammed

One last thing - make sure you file in the same week you were terminated. The waiting week starts from when you file, not when you lost your job. Don't delay if you think you might qualify.
Thanks, I'll definitely file tonight. This thread has been incredibly helpful!
Good luck! Feel free to post updates on how it goes.

I tried filing for partial unemployment as per diem last year and got denied initially. Had to appeal and it took forever to get resolved.
They said I was still employed and didn't meet the criteria for partial benefits. Had to prove that my hours were cut involuntarily and significantly.
This is exactly why being able to talk to someone at Washington ESD makes such a difference. Appeals can be avoided if you can explain your situation properly from the start.
Good luck OP! Per diem unemployment claims are definitely possible but you need to be persistent and organized with your documentation.
Thanks everyone! This has been incredibly helpful. I feel much more confident about filing now.
Just remember to keep detailed records going forward too. Makes future claims much easier if this happens again.

Quick question - does the residual pay get deposited the same way as regular unemployment benefits? Same timeline and everything?

•Yes, residual benefits are processed and paid just like your regular weekly benefit amount. Same deposit method and timeline.
