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!

Final update for anyone still reading - I used Claimyr one more time to get connected with Washington ESD about setting up payment plans for taxes owed. Turns out they can't help with IRS payment plans, but they confirmed my 1099-G was correct and explained how the withholding system works. Definitely saved me from more confused phone calls.
Good to know they can't help with IRS issues, but at least they can clarify the Washington ESD side of things. I might give them a try if I can't figure out my benefit calculation.
sounds like they're pretty thorough about explaining the unemployment benefits part. That's usually where most of the confusion comes from anyway.
Update on my situation - finally got my tax calculation done and I owe about $3,100 in federal taxes on my unemployment benefits. Setting up a payment plan with the IRS since I can't pay it all at once. Lesson learned about tax withholding!
Ouch! That's exactly what I was afraid of. At least you got it figured out though. I'm still working on my calculations.
Yeah it stings but it's manageable with a payment plan. Just glad I didn't ignore it and let it get worse.

Final thought: Document everything. Keep records of all communications with both agencies, all medical documentation, and any decisions made. This will protect you and help if there are any issues later.
Great advice. I'll start a folder for all this paperwork right now.
Yes, documentation is crucial when dealing with any government benefits.

Bottom line - from what you described, you should qualify. Performance issues aren't misconduct, you worked long enough, and you were involuntarily separated. File the claim and see what happens. Don't let fear of denial stop you from trying.

One last thing - if you do get denied initially, don't panic. A lot of people get approved on appeal. The initial determination isn't always final.

•That's reassuring to know. Hopefully it won't come to that but good to know I'd have options.
