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!

Has anyone here actually succeeded in getting a new claim approved right after their benefits ran out? All these rules make it sound nearly impossible.

I did, but I had worked almost full-time hours for several months during my claim at a higher wage. It really depends on your specific work history.

0 coins

Ok that gives me some hope. I worked a decent amount during my claim too.

Thanks everyone for all the advice! I'm going to calculate my wages tonight and see if I meet the requirements. Will update if I learn anything new from the process.

0 coins

Good luck! Feel free to post back with questions if you run into any issues with the wage calculations.

Hope it works out for you. The system is complicated but it does work when you meet the requirements.

Set up direct deposit if you haven't already. Payments come faster than waiting for the debit card to arrive.

0 coins

How long does direct deposit usually take?

0 coins

Usually 1-2 business days after you certify, assuming no issues with your claim.

0 coins

i messed up my first certification and put the wrong info, had to call and get it corrected. lesson learned to double check everything before submitting

0 coins

Were you able to get it fixed easily?

0 coins

took a while to get through but they fixed it. thats when i learned about the claimyr service from someone else on here

last thing - if you have any specific questions or your claim gets complicated, don't spend hours trying to get through on the phone. that claimyr service really does work for getting connected to washington esd staff who can actually help

0 coins

noted! hopefully everything goes smoothly but good to know there are options if not

0 coins

exactly. better to know about it before you need it than to find out about it after weeks of frustration

Hope this thread helped clarify things! Unemployment benefits exist for situations exactly like yours. Don't hesitate to use the safety net you've earned through your work history.

0 coins

definitely helped a lot. feeling much less overwhelmed about the whole process now

One more thing - if you have any questions about your eligibility or claim status, don't just wait and hope. Try to get through to Washington ESD or use a service like Claimyr to reach an agent. Getting answers early can save you a lot of headaches later.

0 coins

I'll keep that in mind. Better to ask questions upfront than deal with problems later.

0 coins

Exactly! I waited too long to address an issue with my claim and it ended up costing me several weeks of benefits. Don't make my mistake.

0 coins

The whole process seems overwhelming but it's really not that bad once you get started. Washington ESD's website has pretty good instructions and most people qualify if they've been working recently.

0 coins

Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice! I feel much more confident about filing now.

Last mention of Claimyr since it came up a few times - if anyone else is struggling to reach Washington ESD, the service really does work. Especially useful when you have time-sensitive questions about your claim status or need to resolve adjudication issues quickly.

0 coins

Thanks for mentioning this, I'm definitely going to check it out. Been trying to reach someone about my claim for weeks.

0 coins

sounds like your friend should be fine as long as she meets the basic requirements. the current system is pretty straightforward compared to all the chaos from a few years ago

0 coins

Yeah, definitely seems more manageable now. Thanks everyone for all the helpful info!
