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!

Just want to circle back on the Claimyr thing I mentioned earlier - they were super helpful when I had deposit issues. Really worth checking out claimyr.com if you need to actually talk to someone at Washington ESD about payment problems.

I might actually try this if my payment doesn't come tomorrow. The phone system is impossible.

0 coins

Yeah it's worth it just for the peace of mind of actually getting through to someone.

Final update from me - payment hit my Chase account at 4:23 AM this morning (Wednesday). So it was about 24 hours later than usual but it did come through. Thanks everyone for the advice and moral support!

0 coins

So relieved for you! This thread helped me stay calm while waiting for mine too.

0 coins

Great outcome. For future reference, Wednesday morning is still within the normal range for processing delays.

good luck with whatever you decide. just remember that no job is worth your mental health and there are always other opportunities out there. sometimes taking the risk is better than staying miserable

0 coins

You're right, I need to remember that. Thanks for the encouragement - it's been really helpful getting all these different perspectives.

0 coins

Hope this thread has been helpful! The key points to remember: document everything, try to resolve issues through proper channels first, file immediately if you do quit, and don't be afraid to appeal if you get denied. Washington ESD does approve good cause quits, but you need to build a strong case.

This has been incredibly helpful. I feel like I have a much better understanding of what I'm facing and how to approach it. Thank you to everyone who shared their experiences and advice!

Has anyone used the new Washington ESD website? I heard they updated their online system recently and it's supposed to be easier to navigate.

0 coins

Good to hear. I was dreading dealing with government websites but maybe it won't be too bad.

0 coins

The website is definitely better but if you run into any issues or need to talk to someone, that's where services like Claimyr really help. Sometimes you just need to speak with a human to sort things out.

One last thing - keep all your employment records organized. Pay stubs, termination letter, anything related to your employment. Washington ESD might ask for documentation during the application process or later if there are any questions.

0 coins

Thanks for the reminder. I have most of my recent pay stubs but I should probably gather everything together before I start the application.

0 coins

Definitely. Being prepared with documentation can speed up the whole process and prevent delays in getting your benefits started.

0 coins

One more thing - if you ever don't receive your payment by Thursday and you filed on time, definitely call Washington ESD or use one of those callback services. Sometimes payments get stuck and you need to follow up.

0 coins

This is where Claimyr really saved me time. Got the issue resolved in one call instead of days of trying to get through.

0 coins

Exactly. Don't just assume the payment will show up eventually - follow up if it's late.

0 coins

Perfect timing on this thread - I was literally wondering the same thing yesterday!

0 coins

Same! This community is great for getting real answers about Washington ESD stuff.

0 coins

Glad this helped! Make sure to file your weekly claims on time every week to keep your benefits flowing.

0 coins

Will do. Already set a reminder on my phone for Sundays.
