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!

Just wanted to follow up - the agent I talked to through Claimyr was super helpful. Turns out my employer had reported my separation reason incorrectly and that's why I was in adjudication. She's sending me the forms to get it corrected. Would never have known this without calling!
So glad you got answers! This gives me hope.
See? I told you guys it works. Really glad it helped you too!
Bottom line - yes you can call Washington ESD but be prepared for a long wait or try one of these callback services if you can't sit on hold all day. The important thing is getting your questions answered so you can move forward with your claim.
Thanks everyone for all the advice and sharing your experiences. This thread has been super helpful!
Good luck with your adjudication! Hopefully you get it resolved soon.

My advice: apply as soon as possible but don't expect instant results. Keep detailed records of everything, be patient with the system, and don't hesitate to ask for help when you need it. You'll get through this!
Thank you everyone for all the helpful advice! I feel much more prepared to tackle this now. Going to start my application tonight.
Good luck! Feel free to come back here if you run into any specific issues. This community is really good about helping each other out.
One last thing - save all your correspondence from Washington ESD! Determination letters, notices, everything. If you ever need to appeal a decision, you'll need that documentation. I keep a dedicated folder just for unemployment paperwork.
Smart thinking! I'll set up a folder right now before I even apply.
Exactly! Being organized from the start will save you headaches later if any issues come up.

I've filed 5 times over my career due to various layoffs in the tech industry. Never been an issue. The key is always being honest and meeting the work requirements between claims.
Tech layoffs are brutal. Glad the unemployment system was there for you multiple times.
One last thing - if you're planning to file, do it online if possible. The phone system is a nightmare but the website usually works fine for straightforward claims.
Definitely planning to file online. Thanks everyone for all the helpful info!
Online filing is great until you hit a snag and need to talk to someone. That's when services like Claimyr become really valuable for getting through to an actual person.
