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!

Just wanted to add that you should still check your account regularly even with open status. Sometimes there are messages or requirements that pop up that you need to address to keep your claim active.
Good advice. I'll make sure to log in regularly and not just assume everything is fine.
Exactly. Better to be proactive than miss something important.

For anyone still struggling to get information about their claim, I ended up using that Claimyr service and it was honestly a lifesaver. Finally got to speak with an actual person who could explain what was happening with my claim.
How much did it cost? I'm tempted but worried about the expense when I'm already not getting paid.
I'd rather not discuss the cost publicly, but for me it was worth it to get answers after weeks of uncertainty. You can check their website for current pricing.
Bottom line: expect 2-4 weeks for your first payment if everything goes smoothly, longer if there are complications. Keep filing those weekly claims and don't panic if it takes a little longer than expected. The system is slow but it usually works eventually.
This has been really helpful. I feel much better about the timeline now. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences!
Agreed, this thread has been super informative. Good luck to everyone still waiting for their benefits!

Last bit of advice: keep copies of EVERYTHING. Your application, weekly claims, job search logs, any correspondence with Washington ESD. You never know when you might need to reference something.
Good point. I'll start a folder to keep track of everything once I file.
Smart move. Organization will save you headaches later if any issues come up.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful info! I'm convinced - filing my claim today. Wish me luck with the Washington ESD system!
If you run into any issues getting through to Washington ESD, definitely check out Claimyr. Made the whole process much smoother for me.
You're making the right choice. Better late than never, and you'll still get 26 weeks of benefits if you qualify.

If anyone needs to verify protest deadlines or check claim status, I've found the Claimyr service gets you through to Washington ESD much faster than calling directly. Their callback system is brilliant - no more spending hours on hold.
Does it work for all types of Washington ESD questions or just certain issues?
It connects you to regular Washington ESD agents so you can ask about anything - claim status, protests, adjudication, weekly claims, whatever you need help with.
Bottom line - if your employer missed the 10-day deadline and you were legitimately laid off due to lack of work, you should be fine. Washington ESD protects workers from employer retaliation through these time limits.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful information! I feel much more confident about my situation now. Sounds like my employer probably missed their chance to contest.
You're welcome! Just keep filing your weekly claims and you should be all set. The system is designed to protect workers in situations like yours.

Bottom line: 26 weeks maximum, file weekly claims every week, keep looking for work and document it, report any income. The system isn't perfect but if you follow the rules you should be fine. Good luck with your job search!

Just remember that if you do run into issues with Washington ESD customer service, there are options like that Claimyr service people mentioned. Sometimes paying a little to get through to someone quickly is worth it versus losing weeks of benefits due to unresolved issues.

•I'll keep that in mind. Hopefully I won't need it but good to know it's there as a backup option.
