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!

The Washington ESD website has a good checklist of what you need before filing. Make sure you have your Social Security number, driver's license, and employment history for the last 18 months ready.
18 months? I thought it was just the most recent job.
Nope, they look at your entire base period which covers multiple quarters. You need all employers from that time frame.
honestly just file it today and figure out the details as you go. the longer you wait the more money you're potentially losing. worst case you can always correct information later if needed.
You're right, I'm overthinking this. Going to file right now before I talk myself out of it.
That's the spirit! Better to have it in the system and working than to keep waiting.

Oh and one more resource - if you need help with the job search requirements or finding work, WorkSourceWA has career counselors who can help. They're pretty good at what they do.
That's good to know. I might need help with my resume and interview skills.
They can definitely help with that. They have workshops and one-on-one counseling available.

I used Claimyr last month when I needed to update my information quickly for an apartment application. Super easy process and they called me back within like 20 minutes. Way better than the usual Washington ESD phone nightmare.
That's the second mention of Claimyr. Sounds like it really works for getting through to Washington ESD.
Yeah it's been a lifesaver. Especially when you need quick responses for time-sensitive stuff like housing applications.

sometimes I wonder if they just make up these numbers... the 'official' unemployment rate never seems to match what I see in real life with people struggling to find decent jobs
The unemployment rate only counts people actively looking for work, not those who've given up searching or are underemployed. So it doesn't tell the whole story.
yeah that's a good point, there's a difference between being employed and being employed in a good job that pays the bills
Bottom line - focus on your own claim rather than worrying about the state percentage. Make sure you're filing your weekly claims on time and meeting all the requirements. The unemployment rate is just a macro economic indicator.
Exactly. Keep doing your job searches, file weekly, and follow up if there are any issues with your claim status.
And if you do need to follow up but can't get through to Washington ESD by phone, definitely check out Claimyr. Made a huge difference for me when I was stuck in the system.

Another vote for using Claimyr if you need to reach ESD. Used it twice now and both times got through to an agent within an hour instead of spending all day calling. The video demo on their site explains it better than I can.

Alright I think we've covered everything! File soon, be thorough, keep records, and don't panic if things take a while. The system works even if it's slow sometimes.
