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 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.

Just want to add that if you do quit and get denied initially, don't give up. You can appeal the decision and many people win on appeal with better documentation or legal help. The initial denial isn't the end of the road.
Thanks for the encouragement. It's good to know there are options even if the first decision doesn't go my way.
Absolutely. I know several people who lost initially but won on appeal. The key is having your documentation organized and presenting a clear case.
Whatever you decide, start looking for other jobs now while you're still employed. Even if you get approved for unemployment, benefits don't last forever and the job market is competitive right now.
You're right, I should start job hunting regardless. Thanks for all the advice everyone - this has been really helpful.
Good luck with whatever you decide. Just remember to document everything and be prepared for a potentially long process if you do quit.

The whole process seems really complicated. I'm dreading having to deal with all this bureaucracy.
It's not as bad as it seems once you get started. The online system walks you through each step pretty clearly.
I hope you're right. I just don't want to mess something up and delay my benefits.

My advice: apply as soon as possible but don't expect instant results. Keep detailed records of everything, be patient with the system, and don't hesitate to ask for help when you need it. You'll get through this!

One last thing - save all your correspondence from Washington ESD! Determination letters, notices, everything. If you ever need to appeal a decision, you'll need that documentation. I keep a dedicated folder just for unemployment paperwork.
