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 hardest part for me was the uncertainty. But once Washington ESD made their decision and I got into the routine of filing weekly claims, it got much easier. You'll get through this!
Thank you everyone for all the advice and encouragement. I feel much more confident about applying now.
Good luck with your claim! Most people who get fired for performance reasons do qualify for benefits. Just be patient with the process and don't hesitate to reach out if you need help navigating the system.
I really appreciate all the help from everyone here. Going to file my application today.
You've got this! Come back and update us on how it goes.

This is exactly why I switched to having my benefits loaded onto the debit card instead of direct deposit. Seems like the card gets loaded more reliably.
Really? I thought direct deposit was supposed to be faster.
Usually it is, but when there are system issues like this week, the debit card payments seem less affected.

My payment took exactly 21 days from when I filed my initial claim. I remember because I was counting every single day! Once it started though, the weekly payments came like clockwork. Hang in there, it's probably going to happen soon.
21 days gives me hope since I'm at 14 days now. Did you have to do anything special or just wait it out?
Just waited and kept filing my weekly claims. Made sure to do all my job search requirements too. The key is not to miss any steps in the process.

Thanks everyone for all the help! This gives me a much better idea of what to expect. I'll file my claim this week and see how close the actual amount is to these estimates.

Keep in mind that if you work part-time while collecting unemployment, your weekly benefit will be reduced. You can earn up to 25% of your weekly benefit amount without any reduction, but anything over that gets deducted.

•This is good to know. So if my weekly benefit is $800, I can earn up to $200 without it affecting my unemployment payment?

Giovanni Moretti
•Exactly! But you still have to report ALL earnings on your weekly claim, even if it's under the 25% threshold.

The system is so confusing. I wish Washington ESD would just send you a clear breakdown of how they calculated your weekly benefit amount instead of making you guess.

•Yeah right, 'just call them' - like that's even possible with their phone system!

•This is exactly why I ended up using Claimyr. Got tired of the phone system runaround and needed actual answers about my benefit calculation.
