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 consistency is actually pretty good once you're in the system. File Sunday, money Wednesday. Just don't skip filing thinking you'll catch up later - you can't backdate claims in most cases.
You lose that week's payment in most cases. There are some exceptions for emergencies but they're hard to get approved.
Yeah don't miss your filing deadline. Set multiple reminders if you have to.
Thanks everyone for all the info! Sounds like Sunday filing → Wednesday payment is the standard pattern. I feel much better knowing what to expect now.
Glad we could help! Once you get through your first few payments it becomes second nature.
You got this! The hardest part is behind you now that you're approved.

The eligibility isn't that complicated really. Work for at least 680 hours or earn $1,000+ in your base period, lose your job through no fault of your own, be able and available for work. Most people who worked a regular job qualify.
Thanks for breaking it down so simply! That helps a lot.
No problem! The ESD website makes it sound way more complicated than it actually is.
I used that claimyr service someone mentioned earlier and it was honestly a game changer. Got connected to an ESD agent who walked me through the whole eligibility process and helped me understand exactly what I needed to do. Worth checking out if you're having trouble getting through on your own.
I might have to try that if I run into issues. Thanks for the recommendation!
Definitely worth it. The video demo at https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ shows exactly how it works.

One last tip - if you have direct deposit set up, benefits usually show up Wednesday mornings. If you're getting a debit card, it takes longer to arrive by mail.
Definitely going with direct deposit then. I need the money as soon as possible.
Smart choice. The debit card thing is a pain and there are fees involved too.
Good luck with your application! The process seems overwhelming at first but once you get through the initial filing, the weekly claims become routine. You've got this!
Thank you everyone for all the helpful advice! I feel much more confident about tackling this now.
We've all been there. Don't hesitate to ask if you run into problems - this community is pretty helpful with unemployment questions.

Just wanted to add that if you disagree with their calculation once you get your determination letter, you can appeal within 30 days. Sometimes they miss wages or use the wrong base period.
Good to know there's an appeal option if something looks wrong. Hopefully I won't need it but it's reassuring.
The appeals process is pretty straightforward if you have documentation to back up your case. Most people don't need to appeal though.
