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!

Make sure you understand how working part-time affects your benefits too. If you pick up any shifts while on unemployment, it'll reduce your weekly benefit amount.
Good point, I was thinking about doing some catering gigs. I'll need to look into how that works with reporting earnings.
Yeah definitely report any income or they'll hit you with an overpayment later. The rules are pretty strict about that.

Just wanted to add - if you worked for multiple employers during your base period, make sure to include ALL of them when you file. Washington ESD will contact each one to verify your wages.
I only had the one retail job, so that should be straightforward. Thanks for the tip though!
The waiting can be nerve-wracking but try to be patient with the process. Washington ESD processes thousands of claims and they do their best to be thorough. Most eligible people do get approved eventually.
That's reassuring. I'm going to file this weekend and hope for the best!
If you run into any issues or need to reach an agent for questions, definitely consider using Claimyr. Made my whole experience much less stressful.

Just want to give everyone hope - my claim was approved after 5 weeks and I got my first payment 3 days later. The backpay covered all the weeks I was waiting. Hang in there!
That's encouraging! I'm at 5 weeks now so maybe I'm close. Thanks for the update.
Keep filing those weekly claims and it should work out. The wait is awful but the system does eventually work.
For what it's worth, I tried that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier and it actually worked. Got connected to Washington ESD within a couple hours and found out my employer hadn't sent in their response yet. At least now I know what's going on instead of just wondering.
Good to hear another positive experience with them. I might give it a shot if I don't hear something soon.
Yeah, the uncertainty was driving me crazy. Worth it just to get some answers and know your claim is actually being worked on.

One last tip - keep a record of when you reported your return to work, just in case there are any questions later. Screenshots of your weekly claim submission can be helpful.
