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!

heads up - make sure u claim all ur weeks BEFORE doing the quarterly thing. my buddy did it backwards and his payments got delayed by 3 weeks
Grant Vikers
•Oh that's really good to know! I have weeks to claim right now so I'll do that first.
Just wanted to follow up and see if you were able to complete your quarterly reapplication in CONNECT? Did everything go smoothly?
Grant Vikers
•Yes! I followed your instructions and it worked perfectly. I claimed my weeks first like someone suggested and then did the reapplication. It was actually much simpler than I expected. Just had to verify employment info and my work search activities. Already got confirmation that my benefits will continue. Thanks everyone for your help!

random but is anyone else's CONNECT site acting weird lately? keeps logging me out when i try to claim weeks
That's happening to a lot of people right now. They're doing system updates on Wednesdays from 8pm-7am. Try claiming during regular business hours if possible.
I'm confused about something. If you get $125/week and have $3800 left, isn't that like 30 more weeks of payments? But Florida only gives 12 weeks total right? So you wouldn't be able to use it all anyway? Or am I missing something?
You've identified an important point. Florida currently provides a maximum of 12 weeks of benefits (this can go up to 23 weeks when state unemployment is very high, but we're at the minimum now). So even if the benefit year didn't end in December, OP would still be limited to 12 weeks total regardless of the monetary balance. The monetary balance is calculated based on previous wages, but doesn't guarantee you'll be eligible to claim that full amount.

Just an update on my situation I mentioned earlier - it took almost 10 weeks, but DEO finally cleared the fraudulent claims from my account. Had to submit the SAME documents FOUR different times because they kept "losing" them. The system is completely BROKEN but it does eventually get resolved if you're persistent enough. Just prepare for a long battle with bureaucracy.

•10 weeks is better than 4 months at least... Thanks for sharing your experience. Did they make you go through fact-finding interviews for each fake job, or did they handle it all at once?
They scheduled THREE separate fact-finding interviews, then canceled two of them without telling me. I just kept checking my CONNECT inbox daily. The one interview that actually happened was with someone who clearly had no idea how to handle identity theft cases. The whole system is a JOKE.

While you're waiting for DEO to resolve this, make sure you keep claiming your weeks as normal (if you're eligible). Document each time you claim weeks with screenshots. Also, check your CONNECT inbox daily for any fact-finding questionnaires or requests for additional information - these often have strict deadlines. If your legitimate claim gets denied during this process, remember you have the right to appeal within 20 days of the determination. Many identity theft victims have to go through the appeal process to get their legitimate benefits. Lastly, if more than 3-4 weeks pass without any updates on your fraud report, contact your state representative's office. They often have dedicated staff who can help expedite DEO issues.

•Thank you! I've been claiming my weeks but wasn't taking screenshots - I'll start doing that now. Good tip about contacting my state rep if this drags on too long. I appreciate all the help everyone's provided!

i had this happen and its so annoying!!! i think its because if you dont SAVE after each section it doesnt keep anything. like you have to hit save on resume, then hit save on job history, then hit save on applications. if you just hit next it doesn't save anything! the whole system is terrible, i started just taking pictures of everything with my phone so i have proof

After you manually enter your work searches in CONNECT for this week, I strongly recommend keeping separate records going forward. I've been using a simple Google Doc with columns for: - Date of application - Company name - Position title - Method of contact (online, email, in-person) - Contact person (if available) - Result/follow-up This way, even when DEO or EmployFlorida systems fail (which happens regularly), you're protected. Remember that DEO requires 5 work search activities per week for regular unemployment, and they must be completed and documented during the specific week you're claiming.

•Thank you! I've started a spreadsheet based on your suggestion. It's ridiculous we have to create workarounds for their broken systems, but at least this way I'll be protected going forward.
