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!

This thread helped me understand the system better. Filed my claim yesterday and feel more confident about the process now. Thanks everyone!
Glad it helped! Good luck with your claim.
final thought - if you're worried about running out of benefits before finding work, start networking and applying early in your benefit period. don't wait until week 20 to get serious about the job search
Smart advice. I'm already updating my resume and reaching out to contacts.
wish someone had told me that. ended up scrambling in my last few weeks of benefits

The waiting game is brutal but hang in there. Most people who file straightforward claims without complications see their first payment within 2-3 weeks. If you hit the 4 week mark with no communication, that's when you should start being more proactive about calling.
Good rule of thumb. I'll mark that on my calendar as the 'time to panic' date.
lol don't panic even then, just time to be more persistent about getting answers
One last thing - make sure you're checking your online account regularly for any messages or required actions. Sometimes they need additional information and if you miss those requests it can delay everything even more.
I've been checking daily but haven't seen any messages yet. Good reminder to keep monitoring it.
Also check your email and regular mail. They send important stuff through multiple channels sometimes.

Last thought - keep copies of everything. Your confirmation numbers, any correspondence from Washington ESD, your weekly claim confirmations. Having good records makes everything easier if issues come up later.
