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 want to update everyone - my claim finally got approved today! Took exactly 3 weeks and 2 days. Hang in there everyone, it will happen!
I got an email notification and then saw the updated status in my account. The first payment should be processed in the next few days.
Ugh lucky you! Still waiting over here...

Just remember to keep doing your job search requirements and report everything accurately on your weekly claims. That's the best way to keep payments coming on schedule without any holds or issues.
Definitely will do. I don't want anything to mess up this payment schedule now that I know what to expect.
job search requirements are no joke, make sure you keep good records

Make sure when you file that you're totally honest about why you left your job. If there are any issues with your separation Washington ESD will contact your employer and any inconsistencies can delay or disqualify your claim.
I was laid off due to slow business so that should be straightforward. No performance issues or anything like that.
Layoffs are usually the cleanest reason for unemployment claims. You should have no issues getting approved.
Also remember that your first week is usually a waiting week where you don't get paid, so factor that into your planning. Your benefits start with the second week if you're approved.
Good to know about the waiting week. I'll make sure I have enough savings to cover that gap.
The waiting week applies to your first claim ever, not necessarily if you've filed for unemployment before in Washington.

Last suggestion - if you have a smartphone, take photos of all your documents before you go. Just in case you forget something or they ask for something you didn't bring.

•This saved me when they asked for a document I'd left at home. Having the photo was enough for them to proceed.
