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!

One more thing - if you have any questions during the process, that Claimyr service really does work. I was skeptical at first but it saved me so much time trying to reach Washington ESD.
I might try that if I run into issues. Better than spending all day redialing.
Good luck with your claim! Sounds like you definitely qualify based on what you've described. The hardest part is usually just navigating the website and requirements, but you've got good info here to work with.
Thank you everyone! This thread has been incredibly helpful. I feel much more confident about filing now.

Final thought - if you do run into issues and need to contact Washington ESD, seriously consider using Claimyr. I was skeptical at first but it saved me so much time and frustration. Sometimes the small cost is worth it to actually get help when you need it.
I'll definitely bookmark that for future reference. Hopefully I won't need it but good to know it's there.

Don't forget that you have to keep filing weekly claims to keep getting benefits, even while waiting for your initial determination. Miss a week and you could lose benefits for that week.
Yeah I've been filing every week like clockwork. Don't want to mess anything up.
Smart. It's one of the most important things to remember about the whole process.
For what it's worth, I think Washington's unemployment benefits are pretty decent compared to other states. The maximum amount is higher than a lot of places.
That's reassuring. I was worried it wouldn't be enough to cover my expenses.
It won't replace your full salary but it should help bridge the gap while you're job hunting.

Good luck with your application! The process has gotten better over the years, and most people who qualify get approved without major issues. Just be patient with the system and follow all the requirements.
Thank you all so much! I feel much more prepared now. Going to start my application right after I gather all my employment information.

One last tip - when you file, make sure your contact information is current and check your account regularly. Sometimes they need additional info and if you miss those requests it can delay everything.
