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!

Good luck with everything! The process is intimidating at first but it's really not that bad once you get started. The key is just filing as soon as you're eligible.
Thanks! Feeling much more confident about the timing now. Really appreciate everyone's help.

One more thing - if you don't win at this level, you can appeal to the Board of Appeals. Don't give up if the first decision doesn't go your way.
Let's hope it doesn't come to that! But good to know there are more options.
Hopefully you won't need it, but it's there if you do. Good luck with your hearing!
Update us after your hearing! We're all rooting for you. Sounds like you have everything you need to win this appeal.
Will do! Thank you everyone for all the helpful advice. I feel so much more prepared now.
We've all been there. The unemployment system is confusing but forums like this help us all figure it out together.

The weekly claim filing is really the most important part of maintaining your unemployment benefits. Miss too many weeks and you could lose eligibility entirely. Set a phone reminder if you need to!
That's a great idea. I'm going to set a Sunday morning reminder right now.
One last thing - keep copies or screenshots of your filed weekly claims. If there's ever a dispute about what you reported, having your own records can really help resolve things quickly.
Thank you everyone! This has been incredibly helpful. I feel much more confident about filing my first weekly claim now.
You've got this! It gets easier each week. Don't hesitate to ask if you have more questions.

This is all news to me. I had no idea there were different types of unemployment benefits beyond regular UI.
There were several pandemic-era programs like MEUC, PUA for gig workers, and PEUC for extended benefits. Most of these have ended now though.
Wish I had known about these earlier. Could have really used the extra help.
For anyone still struggling to get through to Washington ESD about MEUC questions, I can't recommend Claimyr enough. It's been a lifesaver for getting actual answers instead of waiting on hold for hours.
I might have to try that. This waiting game with Washington ESD is really stressing me out.
Definitely worth it. The peace of mind from actually talking to someone who can look at your account is huge.

One more thing - make sure you have a stable internet connection when you try to file. Wifi drops or slow connections can cause the site to time out and lose your progress.

•Good point! I'll make sure I'm using ethernet instead of wifi for better stability.
