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!

fingers crossed your payment comes through soon! the stress of waiting is real
Thanks! Everyone here has been really helpful. At least now I know what to expect.
One last thing - make sure you keep filing your weekly claims even while you're waiting for these payments. I made the mistake of thinking I should wait until the back pay came through and it messed up my next week's claim.
Yes I'm definitely staying on top of the weekly claims. Don't want to create any new problems while waiting for this to resolve!
Smart! The weekly filing schedule is sacred - never skip it even when other stuff is pending.

Don't forget to keep your contact info updated. If they can't reach you, it can delay your benefits. Check your account regularly for messages.
How often should I check my account?
I check mine every few days, especially right after filing my weekly claim. Important notices show up there first.
Final tip: be patient with the process. It can take 2-3 weeks from application to first payment, sometimes longer if there are issues. But once it's set up, weekly payments are usually pretty reliable.
You're welcome! Feel free to come back if you have more questions during the process.
Good luck! And remember, if you get stuck and need to reach Washington ESD, Claimyr is there as a backup option.

If anyone needs to verify protest deadlines or check claim status, I've found the Claimyr service gets you through to Washington ESD much faster than calling directly. Their callback system is brilliant - no more spending hours on hold.
Does it work for all types of Washington ESD questions or just certain issues?
It connects you to regular Washington ESD agents so you can ask about anything - claim status, protests, adjudication, weekly claims, whatever you need help with.
Bottom line - if your employer missed the 10-day deadline and you were legitimately laid off due to lack of work, you should be fine. Washington ESD protects workers from employer retaliation through these time limits.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful information! I feel much more confident about my situation now. Sounds like my employer probably missed their chance to contest.
You're welcome! Just keep filing your weekly claims and you should be all set. The system is designed to protect workers in situations like yours.

Last bit of advice: keep copies of EVERYTHING. Your application, weekly claims, job search logs, any correspondence with Washington ESD. You never know when you might need to reference something.
Good point. I'll start a folder to keep track of everything once I file.
Smart move. Organization will save you headaches later if any issues come up.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful info! I'm convinced - filing my claim today. Wish me luck with the Washington ESD system!
If you run into any issues getting through to Washington ESD, definitely check out Claimyr. Made the whole process much smoother for me.
You're making the right choice. Better late than never, and you'll still get 26 weeks of benefits if you qualify.

One last tip - screenshot or print out your confirmation page after you submit your initial claim. Having that confirmation number can be helpful if you need to reference your application later.

Remember that getting laid off isn't your fault and unemployment benefits are there for exactly this situation. Don't feel bad about using a system you've paid into through your payroll taxes. Focus on finding your next opportunity.

•Absolutely. Unemployment insurance is exactly what it sounds like - insurance for when you lose your job through no fault of your own.
