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!

Bottom line - the formula is pretty straightforward but your actual wages might be different than you think. File your claim and see what the system calculates based on your actual employment records.

Just wanted to add - if you're still having trouble reaching Washington ESD for questions, I've had good luck with Claimyr too. Sometimes it's worth paying a small fee to avoid the phone hassle and get direct answers about your specific situation.

0 coins

Agreed. The time saved alone makes it worthwhile when you need specific information about your claim or benefit calculation.

0 coins

The most important thing is to file as soon as possible after you lose your job. Benefits don't start until you file, so every week you wait is money lost.

0 coins

Yeah I'm planning to file this week. Thanks everyone for all the helpful information about what to expect!

0 coins

good luck with your claim! the process seems scary at first but it's really not too bad once you get started

One last thing - make sure you keep track of all your job search activities from day one. Even if you're still in the waiting period, start documenting everything so you're ready when the job search requirements kick in.

Smart thinking ahead. I'll start keeping a log right away.

Whatever you do, don't give up. I know it's frustrating but these disqualifications can often be overturned if you have good documentation and persistence. The appeal process works if you follow it correctly.

0 coins

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm going to file the appeal tomorrow and keep trying to reach someone who can explain the specific reason.

0 coins

That's the right approach. Document everything and keep copies of all communications. You'll need a paper trail for the appeal hearing.

Just wanted to add that I used Claimyr recently when I couldn't get through to Washington ESD about my adjudication issue. Took about 2 hours but they got me connected to an agent who was able to explain exactly what was holding up my claim. Might be worth trying for your situation.

0 coins

I keep hearing about this service. At this point I'm willing to try anything to get answers. Thanks for sharing your experience.

0 coins

Same here - used it last month when my claim got stuck. The agent was able to clear up a misunderstanding about my job search activities in about 10 minutes once I finally got through.

0 coins

One more tip - if you're not sure about something, it's better to call and ask than to guess. Wrong information can delay your claim for weeks.

0 coins

Thanks everyone for all the help! This is way less intimidating now that I understand the process.

0 coins

Good luck OP! The system isn't perfect but it does work if you're persistent and follow the rules. Don't get discouraged if it takes a few weeks.

0 coins

Really appreciate all the support and advice from everyone here. Going to file my claim tonight!

0 coins

It is complicated, but as long as you're honest and report everything accurately, you'll be fine. The problems come when people try to hide earnings.

0 coins

Exactly! Thanks again everyone. This thread should be pinned for other people with the same questions.
