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!

Thanks for all the info everyone. Sounds like I need to start preparing for a new claim application ASAP instead of just hoping my money lasts longer.
Smart move. Being proactive is always better than scrambling at the last minute.
Same here. This thread has been really helpful for understanding what comes next.
One more thing - if you do qualify for a new claim, your weekly benefit amount might be different than your current claim since it's based on more recent wages.
Could it be higher or lower?
Either, depending on what you earned during your current benefit year. If you worked good paying jobs, it might be higher.

Oh and one more thing - if you're eligible for benefits, they'll also send you information about reemployment services and training programs. Some of these are voluntary but others might be required depending on your situation.
Are the training programs free? I've been thinking about updating my skills.
Many of them are free or low-cost, especially through WorkSource. Worth looking into if you have time during your job search.
Final reminder - make sure your contact information is up to date throughout the process. Washington ESD will send important notices by mail and email, so you don't want to miss anything.
Good point. I just moved recently so I need to make sure my address is correct.
You can update your contact info in your online account after you create it.

This thread has been super helpful. I'm in a similar situation and was completely lost about the timing. Now I know to file immediately and keep up with weekly claims.
Glad it helped you too! This community is great for getting real answers.
That's what we're here for. Feel free to ask if you run into any issues during the filing process.
One last thing - if you're worried about making mistakes on your application, Washington ESD does allow you to make corrections later, but it's easier to get it right the first time. Take your time filling it out.
That's reassuring to know I can fix mistakes if needed.
Just remember that some corrections might require talking to an agent, which can take time to get through.

This thread is making me feel better about my situation. I thought something was wrong with my claim but sounds like the timing is just inconsistent for everyone.
Yeah definitely helps to know other people are dealing with the same uncertainty!
same here, was getting really worried but sounds pretty normal
Final update - my deposit just came through this morning! Filed Sunday, processed Monday, deposit appeared Thursday morning. So it took 3 business days but it did come through. Thanks everyone for the reassurance!
Glad yours came through! Maybe there's hope for mine too.
Thanks for updating the thread! It's helpful for other people in similar situations to see the resolution.

One more thing to consider - if you're doing Chapter 13 instead of Chapter 7, your unemployment income will be part of your repayment plan calculation. Just something to discuss with your attorney.

•Good point. I'm hoping to qualify for Chapter 7 but it's good to know about Chapter 13 implications too.
