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!

Congrats on the new job! The unemployment system can be confusing but it sounds like you're handling it the right way by asking questions first.
Thank you! Yeah, I'd rather ask a bunch of questions upfront than deal with problems later.
That's definitely the smart approach. Good luck with the new position!
I work for a company that hires a lot of people coming off unemployment and we always tell them to make sure they handle their final claim properly. It's pretty standard stuff but important to get right.
That's reassuring to hear from someone on the employer side. Sounds like this is a common situation that most people navigate successfully.
Absolutely, it's very routine. Just follow the basic steps and you'll be fine.

thanks everyone for the help! this was stressing me out way more than it needed to
You're welcome! Glad this thread helped multiple people with the same question.
Just filed my claim successfully without the employer account number. Took less than 20 minutes once I stopped worrying about that field. Thanks for all the reassurance!
Great to hear! Now just make sure you file your weekly claims on time and keep up with any job search requirements.
Will do! Already set reminders in my phone for the weekly filing.

One more thing - make sure you report any severance pay or vacation payout you receive from your employer. This can affect your benefit amount or delay payments if you don't report it upfront.

•I'm supposed to get two weeks of severance pay. Should I wait to file until after I receive that?

•No, file immediately but report the severance when you file your weekly claims. Washington ESD will adjust your payments accordingly but you don't want to delay filing your initial claim.

Good luck with your claim! The Washington ESD system can be frustrating but most people do get through the process eventually. Just stay on top of your weekly claims and job search requirements.

•You've got this! Unemployment can be stressful but at least Washington state has decent benefits compared to other places.
