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!

Hang in there OP. I remember that anxious feeling waiting for approval. But if you were legitimately laid off and filed everything correctly, you should be fine. The system just moves slowly.
Hope you get your approval letter soon! Keep us posted.
Good luck! The waiting is the hardest part but it'll work out.

If anyone else is having trouble reaching Washington ESD by phone for claim questions, I mentioned Claimyr earlier but wanted to add - they're really helpful when you have specific questions about your claim status or need to resolve issues. Much easier than trying to get through on your own.
How much does something like that cost? Seems like it would be expensive.
It's actually pretty reasonable considering how much time it saves. Check out their site for details - claimyr.com has all the info.
Thanks everyone! Sounds like I just need to stop filing weekly claims after I properly report my final week. Really appreciate all the advice about keeping records and the tax forms too.
You got it! And remember, your claim stays open for a full year just in case you need it again, so don't worry about 'losing' anything by stopping now.
Good luck with the new job! Make sure that final weekly claim is accurate and you should be all set.

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.

Bottom line - don't overthink it. File your claim, file weekly, look for work, report income. Thousands of people go through this process every week and most don't have major issues. You've got this!

One final tip - if your claim gets complicated or goes into adjudication, don't panic. These things can take time but they usually get resolved. Keep filing your weekly claims and stay on top of any requests for additional information.
