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!

The 'movement from point' language is probably just standard administrative terminology. Government agencies love their jargon. Main thing is you got the increase and your claim is active.
True! I was probably overthinking it. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something important.

The 1099-G deadline is firm - January 31st. If you don't receive yours by mid-February, definitely contact Washington ESD because something went wrong.
Got it, I'll mark my calendar to follow up if I don't see it by then.
One last thing - make sure your address is current with Washington ESD if you want the mailed copy. You can update it in your SecureAccess Washington account.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful info! I feel much more prepared for tax season now.
Happy to help! These tax questions come up every year around this time.

Good plan! And don't hesitate to use one of those callback services if you need to talk to ESD directly. The phone system is really broken right now.

Hope this all works out for you OP! Partial unemployment really saved me when I was in a similar situation. The extra income made a huge difference.
Thank you! All these responses have been so helpful. I'm definitely going to file this week.
Good luck! Update us on how it goes if you get a chance.
One last tip - if you run into any issues during the process, don't give up. Sometimes claims get denied initially but can be approved on appeal. The system isn't perfect but it does work if you persist.
Good to know! I'll keep that in mind if I hit any roadblocks.
Persistence is key with any government benefit system. Don't let bureaucracy discourage you from getting the help you're entitled to.

One last thing - make sure you understand that your weekly claim certification is due every week, usually on the same day. Missing even one week can cause delays in your payments, so set a reminder on your phone or calendar.

•Good point about setting a reminder. What day of the week are they usually due?

•It depends on your claim, but they'll tell you when you file your initial application. For most people it's Sunday, but it can vary.
