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!

The weekly claim filing is super important - you have to do it every week even if your claim is pending or you haven't received payments yet. If you miss a week you lose that week's benefits permanently.
When exactly do I need to file the weekly claim? Is there a deadline?
You can file starting Sunday for the previous week, and you have until the following Saturday. But don't wait - file early in the week if possible.
Honestly the hardest part is just getting started. Once you file your initial claim and get into the routine of weekly filings, it becomes pretty automatic. The money helps a lot while you're job hunting.
No problem! We've all been there. Good luck with everything!
Definitely file soon. The sooner you start the process, the sooner you'll start getting benefits. And remember - if you run into issues with ESD phone lines, that Claimyr service really does work.

One more thing - make sure you file for the correct week. If you mess up the dates it can cause delays in your first payment.
So as long as I file on the Sunday after my last day of work, I should be good?
Exactly. And double check all your dates before submitting the application.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful info! Feeling much more confident about filing my claim now. This thread has been super useful.
Good luck with everything! The filing process is pretty straightforward once you know the timing rules.
Thanks again to everyone who helped out. Really appreciate all the advice!

Final tip - keep track of your own benefit year end date. Don't rely on the system to remind you of everything. I keep it written down so I can plan ahead.
Good idea. I'll add it to my calendar so I don't forget.
Smart. And if you're close to the end with no new work history, start looking into other options like job training programs.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful info! This thread answered a lot of questions I didn't even know I had about benefit years and claim timelines.
Agreed! I feel much more confident about my claim timeline now.
Happy to help. The unemployment system is complex but once you understand the basics it gets easier to navigate.

Just wanted to say this thread has been super helpful! I'm in a similar situation and was dreading the whole process but now I feel like I have a better idea of what to expect. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences.
Same here! Really appreciate everyone taking the time to explain everything. Makes the whole thing seem less scary.
Good luck OP! The process can be frustrating but stick with it. Having that safety net while you job hunt makes a huge difference in reducing stress and giving you time to find the right opportunity instead of just taking the first thing that comes along.
That's exactly what I'm hoping for - just enough breathing room to find something good instead of panicking. Thanks for the encouragement!

That's encouraging to hear from someone with experience. I was worried they'd see it as gaming the system.

Nah, seasonal unemployment is exactly what the system was designed for. You worked, you paid in, you deserve benefits when you're unemployed.
