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!

hope it all works out for you. the job search grind is tough but something will come through eventually. just keep at it and use all the resources available
Thanks for the encouragement. It's been a rough few months but I'm trying to stay positive and explore all options.
same here, we got this! at least now we know there are more options than we thought
Final reminder - make sure to keep detailed records of all your job search activities, income, and any program applications. Good documentation can save you a lot of headaches if questions come up later.
Definitely learned that lesson! I've been keeping spreadsheets of everything since I started my claim.
Smart approach. Good record keeping is essential whether you're on UI, transitioning between programs, or starting new employment.

Final update: I successfully submitted my application! It took about 40 minutes total. The website was pretty straightforward once I had all my documents ready. Thanks everyone for the help and guidance!
awesome! you should get your determination letter soon. fingers crossed for a smooth process
Great job! Keep all your documentation organized and don't hesitate to ask questions if you run into any issues during the process.
One last tip - keep copies of everything you submit and save confirmation numbers. If there are ever any issues with your claim, having documentation helps resolve things faster.
Great advice! I'll make sure to screenshot everything.
Also keep track of any correspondence from Washington ESD in your online account. They send important notices there that you need to respond to within specific timeframes.

You mentioned retail work - make sure you report any commission or tips you received in addition to your base wages. They need the full picture of your earnings to calculate your benefit amount correctly.
I didn't get commissions but there were small quarterly bonuses. Should I include those too?
Yes, include any bonuses or extra compensation. It all counts toward your wage history and could potentially increase your weekly benefit amount.
good luck with everything! the unemployment system isn't perfect but it's there to help when you need it. just be patient with the process and keep detailed records of everything
Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice! I feel much more confident about applying now.
you're welcome! hope everything goes smoothly for you

Just to add one more point - make sure you apply for jobs and keep your job search log updated even while you're figuring out the exhausted claim situation. You don't want to fall behind on those requirements if you do end up qualifying for a new claim.

•Good point, I'll make sure to stay on top of that. Don't want any issues with a new claim if I can get one approved.
