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!

Pro tip: when you file your initial claim, be completely honest about the circumstances of your termination. Don't try to hide anything or sugarcoat it. Washington ESD will find out the truth anyway when they contact your employer, and being dishonest could hurt your credibility.
This is so important. I've seen people get denied just because they weren't upfront about why they were fired, even when they would have qualified if they'd been honest.
Good point. I'll make sure to explain the whole situation accurately, including the safety complaints I made.
Also remember that while you're waiting for your claim to be processed, you should still be actively job searching and keeping records. If you get approved, they might ask for your job search log going back to when you first filed. Don't wait until you're approved to start looking for work.
I've been looking but not keeping detailed records. What kind of information should I track?
Date, employer name, position applied for, method of contact, and any follow-up. Keep it simple but detailed enough to show you're making genuine efforts to find work.

Final thought - if you end up needing to call Washington ESD about your severance situation and can't get through, definitely check out that Claimyr service I mentioned earlier. Having direct access to an agent who can look at your specific case is invaluable.
Second this recommendation. Sometimes you just need to talk to a real person to get definitive answers.

I was skeptical about using outside services to contact Washington ESD but honestly after trying for weeks to get through myself, I finally tried Claimyr and it worked great. Sometimes you just need to talk to a real person to get your questions answered properly.
How quickly were you able to get connected? I've been putting off calling because I know it's going to be a nightmare.
It was way faster than I expected. Instead of being on hold for hours, I was talking to someone within like 10-15 minutes. Definitely worth it when you actually need help.
One last tip - keep all your employment records, pay stubs, and any documentation about why you're unemployed. Washington ESD might ask for proof and it's better to have everything ready.
Thanks everyone! This has been super helpful. I feel like I actually understand how this works now instead of being completely confused.
You're welcome! The system seems complicated at first but once you understand the basics it's pretty straightforward. Good luck with everything!

One last thing - even if you're not 100% sure about your eligibility, it's worth applying. The worst they can do is deny you, and then you'll know for sure. Plus if you wait too long you might miss out on benefits you could have gotten.
