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!

expect the worst hope for the best lol. took me 5 weeks to get my first payment and that was with no complications. the system is just slow and understaffed. at least once you start getting payments they come regularly
5 weeks even with no complications? That's longer than what others are saying.
yeah it varies a lot. some people get lucky and get paid in 2-3 weeks, others wait much longer. depends on workload and which office processes your claim
The key is patience and persistence. Keep filing weekly claims, keep doing job searches, and keep checking your online account. If you hit roadblocks, don't give up. The system works eventually but it's not fast or user-friendly.
Thanks everyone for all the advice. Feeling more prepared for what to expect now.
You're welcome. Remember that most claims do get approved eventually, it's just a matter of following the process correctly and being patient with the timeline.

One more thing - make sure you keep filing your weekly claims even if there are issues with your account. If you miss filing weekly claims, it can cause problems with your payments even after the issues get resolved.
Good point! I'll make sure to stay on top of the weekly filing once I get everything set up.
Yeah, consistency is key with unemployment claims. The system is pretty unforgiving if you miss deadlines or skip requirements.
For what it's worth, the online system for filing weekly claims is actually pretty user-friendly once you get your account set up. Much easier than trying to do everything over the phone.
That's reassuring! I was worried the whole process would be complicated.
The weekly claims are easy, it's just getting the initial claim filed that can be a pain because of the phone system issues.

This has been one of the most informative threads I've read on here. Really appreciate everyone sharing their experiences and knowledge. Makes the whole unemployment system seem less intimidating.
That's the goal! These systems can be overwhelming, but they're designed to help workers who lose their jobs through no fault of their own.
It's nice to know there are people willing to help others navigate these complex systems. Thanks everyone!
good luck with your claim! sounds like you have a strong case. just remember to keep copies of everything you submit and document all your communications with washington esd
Will do! I'm going to start a folder with all my employment documents and anything related to the unemployment claim.
smart move. that organization really helps if you need to reference something later

One more thing - if you do any freelance or side work while collecting benefits, you MUST report it on your weekly claims. Even small amounts need to be reported.
Report it for the week you did the work, not when you got paid. They want to know about your work activity, not just income.
This is important! I know someone who got in trouble for not reporting freelance work properly.
The whole process seems overwhelming at first but once you get into the routine of filing weekly claims it becomes pretty automatic. Just take it one step at a time.
That's reassuring. I'm going to file my initial claim this afternoon.
Good luck! The hardest part is just getting started. Once you're in the system it gets easier.

You've got this! The waiting is the hardest part but there is light at the end of the tunnel.
