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!

Final advice - after you submit your application, you'll get a letter in the mail (or email if you chose that) with your benefit amount and instructions for filing weekly claims. READ EVERYTHING they send you carefully. The instructions are important and missing something can delay your payments.
Thank you everyone! This has been super helpful. I feel much more confident about filing now.
You're welcome! Don't hesitate to ask if you run into any issues during the process.
Good luck! The system isn't perfect but it does work. Just be patient and persistent. And seriously consider that Claimyr service if you need to talk to someone - I wish I'd known about it when I was going through this process.
I'll definitely keep that in mind. Hopefully I won't need it but good to know it's there.
Exactly - hopefully you won't need it, but it's a lifesaver when the normal phone system fails you.

Still think its ridiculous how hard it is to get Washington ESD on the phone to ask these basic questions about your own claim
That's exactly why services like Claimyr exist. The phone system is broken but people still need answers about their benefits.

One more thing - if you do get stuck trying to reach ESD during your adjudication process, I had success with Claimyr too. It's basically a service that helps you get through to ESD agents when you can't get through yourself. Really helped when I needed to provide additional information for my case.
The phone situation with ESD is honestly ridiculous. Anything that helps get through to them is worth it.
Exactly. When you're dealing with adjudication and need to provide clarification, being able to actually talk to someone at ESD makes all the difference.

Hope everyone gets their claims approved quickly and without too much hassle. The unemployment system can be stressful but at least the benefits provide some financial cushion while job hunting.
Thanks! Feeling much more confident about filing now that I understand how the benefit amounts work.
Good luck to everyone dealing with unemployment. It's tough but the benefits do help bridge the gap.
Final tip from someone who's been through this process - keep detailed records of everything. Your wage statements, when you filed, when you certified, etc. It makes everything easier if you need to appeal or have questions about your benefits later.
Great advice! I'll start organizing my paperwork now before I even file.
Yes! I wish someone had told me this when I first filed. Having good records saved me so much time when I had questions about my claim.

Try using a different device too. Sometimes the website works better on a phone vs computer or vice versa. The mobile version is actually pretty good now.

If all else fails, contact your state representative's office. They have people who can help navigate Washington ESD issues and sometimes get faster responses than regular claimants.

•I had no idea state reps could help with this stuff. That's really good to know as a last resort.
