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!

For anyone still struggling to get through to Washington ESD, I really can't recommend Claimyr enough. I was skeptical at first but it saved me so much time and stress. Being able to actually talk to someone who could see my account and explain what was happening was worth every penny.
How much does it cost?
I'd rather not discuss pricing in public but it was very reasonable considering how much time and frustration it saved me. Check their website for current rates.
Bottom line OP - expect 3-6 weeks realistically, file your weekly claims religiously, respond to any requests immediately, and keep records of everything. The system works but it's slow and bureaucratic.
Thanks everyone for all the advice! I feel much more prepared now.
Good luck! Hope your claim goes smoothly and quickly.

This is probably obvious but make sure you keep your 1099-G with your other tax documents. You'll need it if you ever get audited or have questions about that tax year later.
Good reminder. I'm definitely keeping better records this year after all this confusion.

For what it's worth, I tried the Claimyr service yesterday and got through on the first try. Agent told me my claim was held up because they needed proof of my work authorization. She emailed me the form and said I should hear back within 5 business days after submitting it. Cost was worth it to finally get answers.
Can you share the link again? I want to check out their video demo.
Sure, it's claimyr.com and the demo video is at https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ. Shows exactly how their callback system works.
UPDATE: I used Claimyr this morning and got through to Washington ESD! Turns out my claim was flagged because my previous employer reported my separation date incorrectly. Agent corrected it in the system and said my claim should process within 3-5 business days. Finally have some hope!
How long did it take for Claimyr to get you connected?
About 45 minutes from when I submitted the request to when I got the callback with an agent on the line.

Has anyone here actually used Claimyr successfully? I'm curious if it really works or if people are just lucky. I've been trying to reach Washington ESD for three weeks about my adjudication status.
I used it last month and it was legit. Way better than the regular phone number which just hangs up on you half the time.
Okay you've convinced me. I'll check out that demo video and see if it's worth trying.
Bottom line: ASU insurance is private coverage you might have through loans or credit accounts. Washington ESD unemployment is government benefits. They're totally separate things even though they both relate to unemployment situations. Hope that helps clear things up!
Thank you! This thread has been incredibly helpful. I feel like I actually understand the difference now.
This is exactly the kind of confusion that makes dealing with unemployment so stressful. Good explanation!

Healthcare workers faced unique challenges during COVID layoffs and now staffing shortages. Burnout is causing people to leave the field entirely which creates more unemployment in other sectors when facilities close.

Bottom line is unemployment can affect anyone but the system isn't equally accessible to everyone. Some people have resources and knowledge to navigate it better than others.
