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!

Going to echo what others said about keeping good records. Also screenshot your weekly claim confirmations - I've had the system glitch and lose my filed claims before.
Will do! Better safe than sorry with something this important.
Exactly. Technology fails sometimes and you want proof you did everything right.
Last thing - if you find work again quickly, you still need to report it properly when you file your weekly claims. Don't just stop filing without going through the proper process.
Good to know. Hopefully I'll find something soon but I'll make sure to report it correctly.
Right. They have specific procedures for when you return to work. Don't wing it or you might create problems for yourself.

One more thing - if you get disqualified for any reason, you can appeal the decision. Don't just give up if they deny your claim initially.
Good to know there's an appeal process. Hopefully I won't need it but it's reassuring.
The appeal deadline is pretty strict though, so don't wait around if you disagree with a decision.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful info! I feel much more prepared to navigate this process now. Appreciate all the tips and advice.
Good luck with your claim! Feel free to ask if you run into any issues.
Hope everything goes smoothly for you. The system can be frustrating but it does work eventually.

The weekly certification system has definitely improved over the years but it's still not perfect. Just be patient with the technology and make sure you have all your information ready before you start filing.
What information should I have ready each week before I start filing?
Your job search log with employer contacts, any wages earned that week, and answers to whether you were able and available to work each day. Having it organized makes the process much faster.

The system is designed to help people who lose their jobs through no fault of their own, which includes most terminations for performance. Don't let your employer scare you into not filing - that's exactly what they want.

•So true. My boss actually told me I 'probably wouldn't qualify' when they fired me. Total BS.

•They say that hoping you won't file and cost them money on their unemployment insurance. File anyway!

One more tip - when you're filing your weekly claims, be completely honest about any work you do or money you earn. Even small amounts need to be reported. Washington ESD will find out eventually if you don't report it.

•What if I do some freelance work while collecting? Do I need to report that too?

•Yes, absolutely. Any income needs to be reported on your weekly claim. It might reduce your benefit amount but it won't disqualify you completely.
