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!

The whole system is designed to make you jump through hoops but once you get the hang of it it's not too bad. Just stay on top of your weekly claims and job search requirements.
Sounds like consistency is key. Thanks everyone for all the helpful info!

Remember that even after your claim is approved, there might be a delay in setting up your payment method. Make sure all your banking information is correct in your account to avoid additional delays.
I just double-checked and my bank info looks right. Hopefully that won't be an issue.
Good thinking. The last thing you want is to have your payment delayed because of a typo in your account number.
Keep documenting everything - screenshot your claim status, save confirmation numbers from weekly filings, print important emails. If something goes wrong later, you'll need that paper trail.
Good advice. I've been taking screenshots but haven't been printing anything. Should I print the weekly claim confirmations too?
I would print or save PDFs of anything important. Technology glitches happen and you don't want to lose proof of your filings.

Thanks everyone for all the helpful info! Sounds like I should file this Sunday after my last day on Friday and make sure to keep doing the weekly claims even if it takes time to process.
You've got it! And don't hesitate to reach out here if you run into any issues during the process.
And remember about Claimyr if you need to actually talk to someone at Washington ESD. Sometimes that's the only way to get things resolved quickly.

sounds like you've got all the info you need. retail layoffs are pretty straightforward for unemployment eligibility. just file soon and don't overthink it too much
You're right, I think I was overcomplicating it. Thanks for the reality check!
Yeah the Washington ESD system is confusing but most people who got laid off qualify. The hard part is dealing with the bureaucracy, not meeting the requirements.
Hope this thread helps other people too. Unemployment eligibility questions come up all the time and it's good to have clear answers in one place.
Agreed! This has been super helpful. I'll update the thread once I get through the filing process in case it helps others.
Please do! It's always good to hear how these situations actually turn out.

Last tip - set a reminder on your phone to file every week. Make it a routine, like Sunday morning with coffee. Consistency is key with unemployment benefits.

Just to follow up on the Claimyr thing - I know some people are skeptical about using third-party services, but when you're dealing with something as important as your unemployment benefits, sometimes it's worth it to get expert help. The peace of mind alone was valuable to me.
