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 key thing is to file your weekly claim as early as possible on Sunday. I used to wait until Sunday night and sometimes my payments would be delayed. Now I file first thing Sunday morning and get paid like clockwork.
I'll try filing earlier next Sunday then. Thanks for the tip!
Just want to add that if you're expecting your first payment and it doesn't show up when you think it should, don't panic immediately. Sometimes there are processing delays or they need additional verification. But definitely try to contact them if it's been more than a week since you filed your first weekly claim.
That's reassuring. I'll give it until Thursday and then start worrying if I don't see anything by then.
Good plan. And remember your first payment might include back pay from when you first became eligible, so it could be larger than your regular weekly amount.

Word of warning - make sure you report any part-time work or gig work while collecting unemployment. Even small amounts can affect your weekly benefit, and not reporting it can cause big problems later.
Good reminder. I do some occasional consulting work so I'll need to be careful about reporting that accurately.
Yeah, they cross-reference with tax records so they'll find out eventually if you don't report income.

One last thing - if anyone needs to get specific answers from ESD about their situation, that Claimyr service mentioned earlier really does work. I used it last month when I had questions about my employer account and actually got through to talk to someone knowledgeable instead of getting the runaround.
Good to know it's legit. Might be worth it to get proper guidance instead of guessing about compliance.
Exactly. The peace of mind was worth it for me, especially dealing with tax obligations where mistakes can be expensive.

Does anyone know if training programs can extend your benefits beyond 26 weeks? I've heard conflicting information about this.

•Yes, if you're in an approved training program through WorkSource Washington, you might be able to get Training Benefits (TB) which can extend your benefits. You have to get approval before starting the training though.

•Good to know! I'll look into that if I'm still unemployed as I get closer to 26 weeks.

I'm at week 20 and starting to panic about running out of benefits. Has anyone had success with the WorkSource training programs that can extend benefits?

•I did a certification program through WorkSource and it extended my benefits for the duration of the training. You have to meet certain criteria and the training has to be approved, but it's definitely possible.

•That gives me hope! I'll contact WorkSource this week to see what programs are available.
