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!

Good to hear another positive review of that service. Seems like it might be worth having as a backup option.
Bottom line - with your $52k income you're probably looking at $450-550 per week for up to 26 weeks. Not bad as a safety net while you find your next job. Just make sure you understand all the requirements for maintaining eligibility.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful info! This gives me a much better idea of what to expect when I file my claim.

Hope this all works out for you OP. Filing unemployment is stressful enough without having to figure out which state to even file with. At least now you know where to start!
Thanks! Yeah this thread definitely cleared up my confusion. Time to get started with Idaho's system.
Good luck! Idaho's website is actually pretty user-friendly from what I remember.
One last tip - if you run into any roadblocks with Idaho's system and need to speak with someone, that Claimyr service people mentioned could save you hours of phone frustration. Sometimes it's worth paying for the help when you're dealing with unemployment bureaucracy.
I'll keep that in mind if I hit any snags. Thanks for all the help everyone!

Just wanted to add that if you're worried about the timeline, start applying for jobs immediately and keep good records. The job search requirement kicks in right away and they can audit your activities retroactively.
I've been doing job searches through WorkSource WA but wasn't sure if I needed to start immediately or wait for approval.
Start immediately! The job search requirement begins with your first week of filing, not when your claim gets approved. Keep detailed records of everything.
Bottom line - if you filed last Thursday with no complications, you should see your first payment next Tuesday or Wednesday for your second week of filing. Keep filing weekly, keep job searching, and try not to stress too much about the timeline unless it goes past 3 weeks.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful info! Feeling much more confident about the process now.
Good luck! The waiting is definitely the hardest part but it usually works out fine if you stay on top of your weekly filings.

I'm in the same situation but I'm worried I made an error on my tax return. Is there a way to check if the IRS received my return and is processing it correctly?

•I tried that but it just says 'processing' and has said that for months. Is there a way to get more detailed information?

•If it's been more than 21 weeks, you can call the IRS directly and speak to a representative. They can look up your account and tell you if there are any specific issues.

For anyone still waiting - I finally got my unemployment tax refund after 6 months. The key was making sure all my Washington ESD 1099-G information matched exactly what I reported on my tax return. Even small discrepancies can cause delays.

•Log into your Washington ESD account online and you can download a copy of your 1099-G. Compare the total unemployment benefits and taxes withheld to what you reported on your tax return.
