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!

If you need help navigating any of this or getting answers from Washington ESD directly, I'll mention again that Claimyr service has been really valuable for people dealing with complex termination situations. Sometimes you just need to talk to a real person to get clarity on your specific case.
I might look into that if I have trouble getting through to Washington ESD. thanks for mentioning it
No problem - it's one of those things where if you need it, you really need it. The video demo on their site shows exactly how it works

The thing that surprised me was how fast the payments come once you get approved. I was expecting it to take forever but after my first weekly claim it was in my account in 2 days.
That's reassuring! I was worried about how long I'd have to wait for payments.
Yeah, the approval process takes time but once you're approved the weekly payments are pretty quick.
One more thing - if you ever have trouble reaching Washington ESD about payment issues, that Claimyr service is really helpful. I was skeptical at first but it actually works. Saved me hours of calling.
Good to know there's a backup option if I need to talk to someone. Thanks everyone for all the helpful info!
You're welcome! Feel free to ask if you have more questions as you go through the process.

If you need help navigating the Washington ESD website or have trouble with the online filing, there are also WorkSource offices that can help you file in person. Sometimes talking to someone face to face makes the process easier.
That's good to know. I'll keep that in mind if I run into issues with the online system.

The job search requirement is really important too. Once you start receiving benefits, you need to make 3 job search contacts per week and keep records in your WorkSource account. They do audit these so make sure you're actually doing the searches.
What counts as a job search contact? Just applying for jobs online?
Applying for jobs, attending job fairs, networking events, career workshops, even informational interviews can count. The key is documenting everything properly.
Good luck with your application! Based on what you've described, it sounds like you have a good chance of qualifying. The warehouse layoff should definitely qualify as job separation through no fault of your own.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful information! I feel much more confident about applying now.

Make sure when you file that you answer all the questions honestly about why you waited to apply. They might ask during the application process.

•Good point. I'll be upfront about thinking I'd find work sooner and not realizing I could still file later.

The most important thing now is to get your claim filed and start receiving benefits. You've already lost a year of potential income, don't lose any more time worrying about whether you're eligible.
