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!

One other important point - make sure you're continuing to look for work and documenting your job search activities while your appeal is pending. You need to complete and document at least 3 job search activities each week. Even though your initial claim was denied, if you win on appeal, they'll ask for your job search logs for the weeks you're claiming. Many people forget this and lose out on benefits they would have otherwise received.
This happened to my cousin!! He won his appeal but didn't get all his backpay cuz he wasn't keeping job search records!! So frustrating!!!
Thanks everyone for the great advice! I'll definitely be documenting everything carefully, getting statements from former coworkers, and making sure I maintain my job search records. I'll try that Claimyr service to get through to ESD - I've been calling for days without success. I feel much more prepared for my hearing now. Will update when I have news!

One thing to watch out for - make sure you're still doing your 3 job search activities each week and documenting them properly. I've seen people get denied when applying for a new benefit year because they got sloppy with job search requirements toward the end of their previous claim. ESD sometimes reviews your job search logs when you apply for a new claim.
Oh that's good to know! Yes, I've been diligent about my job search activities. I'm using WorkSourceWA for some of them and keeping detailed notes of everything else. Really hoping something comes through before July, but planning for the worst just in case.
my neibor said you have to wait a week between claims??? is that true?? seems dum if your already looking for work
Your neighbor might be confusing the waiting week with the gap between claims. The one-week waiting period only applies to your initial claim. When transitioning from an exhausted claim to a new benefit year, you should file immediately when eligible. There's no mandatory gap, but processing the new claim might take time, which is why filing promptly is important.

One more important thing to consider: if you do quit, continue filing weekly claims while your eligibility is being determined, even though you won't receive benefits immediately. If you're eventually approved through adjudication or appeal, you'll get back payments for all those weeks you properly filed. If you wait to start filing weekly claims until after approval, you won't get paid for those missed weeks.
That's really good to know. I would have assumed I should wait until approved before filing weekly claims. If I do end up quitting, I'll make sure to start filing right away even during the adjudication process.

This is why I always tell people to KEEP A SEPARATE BROWSER just for unemployment stuff! Don't use it for anything else. Just ESD. I have Firefox that I ONLY use for ESD and haven't had a single login issue since I started doing that in 2025. Too many cookies and trackers from other sites mess with the secure login process.
smart idea. never thought of that. gonna try it

Based on your situation with the employer disputing your job separation, here's what you should do: 1. Keep your claim open 2. Continue filing weekly claims until your new job starts 3. Report your new employment when it begins 4. Stop filing claims after you start working 5. Make sure all your documentation proving you were laid off has been submitted Your adjudication might take longer since it involves a dispute, but ESD will eventually make a decision. If approved, you'll receive benefits for all eligible weeks, even if your claim has auto-closed by then.

•Thank you so much for the clear steps. I'll follow this exactly. I've already uploaded my layoff notice and final pay stub showing the separation code. Hopefully that will be enough evidence.

•That's exactly why I recommended Claimyr earlier. It's specifically designed to solve the problem of not being able to get through to ESD on the phone. Most people don't know about it, but it's been a lifesaver for many claimants dealing with adjudication issues.
