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!

Final thought - even if there's some uncertainty about whether you'll qualify, file anyway. The application process itself will help clarify things and you'll get a definitive answer from Washington ESD rather than just guessing.
true, better to know for sure than just assume i can't get it. thanks again everyone for all the advice!

Final thought - even if your severance temporarily affects your benefits, you should still file your claim to establish your benefit year. You can always reopen it later when the severance period ends.
Good point. I'll file tomorrow and just be completely honest about the severance situation.
That's definitely the right approach. Transparency is always best with these things.

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.

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.
Perfect! I'll set up a weekly reminder right now.
Good idea! Once it becomes a habit, you won't even think about it.
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.
I might look into that if I run into problems. It's good to know there are options.

One more thing - make sure you're filing during your correct claim week. If you file too early or too late it can delay your payment.

•Your claim week is based on when you filed your initial claim. Check your online account - it should show your claim week dates.

•Exactly. Your claim week runs Sunday through Saturday, and you can file the weekly claim starting Sunday morning for the week that just ended.
