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!

Document everything - when you filed, what you answered, any correspondence you receive. If this goes to appeal or if there are more issues, you'll need a paper trail.
Good advice, I'll start keeping better records of everything.

The whole system is designed to make you give up. Between the impossible phone lines, confusing website, and constantly changing rules, it's like they don't want people to actually get benefits.
At least Washington is better than some states. My brother in Florida said their system is completely broken.
The phone situation is definitely frustrating, but services like Claimyr make it manageable. Worth it just for the peace of mind of actually talking to someone when you have questions.
Quick question - if I quit my job can I still get unemployment? My boss has been making the workplace really toxic and I'm thinking about leaving.
Document everything first! Save emails, write down incidents with dates. If you do quit for good cause you'll need evidence to support your claim.
Thanks, I've been keeping notes but wasn't sure if it would be enough. Might talk to a lawyer first.

I know this is stressful but try to get a good night's sleep before your hearing. You want to be sharp and focused when you're presenting your case. Good luck - it sounds like you have a strong case with the hour reduction!
Thank you so much! Everyone's advice has been incredibly helpful. I feel much more prepared now.
You've got this! The fact that you're preparing so thoroughly shows you're taking it seriously. That will come across in the hearing.
One last thing - if you used Claimyr or any other service to get through to Washington ESD, mention that in your hearing. It shows you made good faith efforts to resolve issues before the appeal. Demonstrates you weren't just trying to game the system.
Great point! I did try calling Washington ESD multiple times before using other methods to get through. I'll make sure to mention that.
Perfect. Shows you exhausted normal channels first, which hearing officers like to see.

Just to add one more thing - make sure you're ready to actively look for work because that's a continuing requirement. Washington ESD takes the job search requirements seriously, so don't treat unemployment as a vacation. Document everything you do to find work.

•That's the right attitude. The benefits are there to help while you're actively looking, not to replace working.

One last tip - keep copies of everything you submit to Washington ESD and save all the confirmation numbers. If anything goes wrong with your claim later, having that documentation can save you a lot of hassle trying to prove what you submitted and when.
