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!

Pro tip: bookmark the direct link to the verification letter page once you find it. That way you don't have to hunt for it again if you need another copy later.
Smart idea! The navigation path is so convoluted that having a direct link would save a lot of time.
Definitely doing this. Thanks for the suggestion!
One more thing - make sure to check the date on your verification letter. Sometimes the system generates them with outdated information and you have to request a new one.
Good point. The letter should reflect your current benefit status and recent payments.
mine was showing old info from 3 weeks ago, had to regenerate it to get current data

The whole process is designed to be confusing I swear. But once you figure out where to look it's not too bad. Good luck!
Definitely feels that way sometimes! Appreciate all the help from everyone here.

If you need help with your resume or job search strategies, WorkSourceWA has free workshops and one-on-one counseling. Might as well take advantage of all the resources available.
I'll look into that. My resume definitely needs updating.

This has been super helpful! I was worried I didn't qualify because I had a few months gap between jobs, but now I understand it's more about the quarters and total wages.
Gaps in employment don't necessarily disqualify you as long as you have the required wages in the right time periods.
That's such a relief. I was stressing about that gap for nothing.
Does anyone know if the wage requirements change each year? I qualified a few years ago but I'm not sure if the thresholds are the same now.
Yes, they adjust the wage requirements annually. For 2025 it's $7,000 minimum in your base period, but it was lower in previous years.
Thanks! Good to know they update it. Makes sense that it would adjust with inflation and wage changes.

If anyone's still having trouble reaching the right people about their applications, I also had success with that Claimyr service. Worth checking out if you're stuck on hold - the video demo at https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ shows exactly how it works.

Thanks everyone for all the helpful info! I'm going to get my UI payment history together and apply for Medicaid this week. Sounds like I shouldn't have been putting it off.
