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!

Last thing - don't be afraid to ask questions here or on other forums if you get stuck. The unemployment system has a lot of moving parts and everyone's situation is a little different. Better to ask and get it right than make assumptions and mess up your claim.
Definitely! This community seems really helpful. I'll probably be back with more questions once I actually start the process.

If you're really worried about the timeline, document everything from day one. Keep copies of your application, any correspondence, and notes about when you filed. Makes it easier to follow up if there are delays.
That's smart advice. I'll start keeping a folder with everything.
Bottom line - you won't know for sure until Washington ESD processes your claim, but based on your salary you should be looking at $400-600 per week assuming everything goes smoothly with your application.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful info. I feel much more prepared now about what to expect.
Good luck with your claim! Hope it processes quickly for you.

The Washington ESD website has a good checklist of what you need before filing. Make sure you have your Social Security number, driver's license, and employment history for the last 18 months ready.
18 months? I thought it was just the most recent job.
Nope, they look at your entire base period which covers multiple quarters. You need all employers from that time frame.
honestly just file it today and figure out the details as you go. the longer you wait the more money you're potentially losing. worst case you can always correct information later if needed.
You're right, I'm overthinking this. Going to file right now before I talk myself out of it.
That's the spirit! Better to have it in the system and working than to keep waiting.

Another vote for using Claimyr if you need to reach ESD. Used it twice now and both times got through to an agent within an hour instead of spending all day calling. The video demo on their site explains it better than I can.
Seems like a lot of people have had success with that service. I'll definitely check it out if I need to.
It's honestly a lifesaver when you're dealing with ESD phone lines. Wish I'd known about it sooner.

At least you found out it was closed before waiting in line for hours. Last time I went to an office I waited 3 hours just to be told they couldn't help with my specific issue.

•That would have been even more frustrating! This whole system really needs to be redesigned from the ground up.

Hope you get your adjudication resolved soon. Three weeks is way too long to be waiting without any communication about what's needed.

•Thanks, I really appreciate the support. Going to try the callback service route and see if that finally gets me some answers.
