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 payment schedule is definitely weekly but man the timing can be unpredictable sometimes, especially around holidays
Good to know about holidays affecting timing.

One last thing - make sure your bank account info is correct in your Washington ESD profile. I had a friend who was wondering why her payments weren't coming and it turned out she had an old account number on file. Took forever to get that sorted out.
Good point, I double-checked that when I set up my claim but I'll verify again. Thanks for all the helpful info everyone!
Glad you got all your questions answered! The unemployment payment timing seemed really confusing at first but now it's just part of my weekly routine. File Sunday, get paid Wednesday, repeat. Washington ESD is actually pretty reliable once you know what to expect.
Yeah this thread was super helpful. Feel much better about the whole process now.

my claim finally got approved after using that claimyr service someone mentioned earlier, was able to talk to someone who explained what was holding things up
Glad it worked out for you! Having direct contact with an agent really does make a difference.
This gives me hope for my situation, thanks for sharing your success

final tip - take screenshots of everything when you file your claim! washington esd's website can be glitchy and having proof of what you submitted can save headaches later
Great advice, I'll definitely do that. Thanks everyone for all the help!
You're welcome! Feel free to post again if you run into any issues during the process.
This whole thread is making me realize I probably filed too early when I got laid off last month. I filed the day before my last day because I was anxious to get the process started. Wonder if that's why my claim has been taking so long to process...
Ugh, I was afraid of that. Guess I'll have to try calling them.
This is exactly the kind of situation where Claimyr really helps - getting through to ESD to fix timing issues like this. Much faster than trying to call on your own.

For what it's worth, I also had success with that Claimyr service when I needed to talk to someone at Washington ESD about my severance situation. Way better than the endless phone tree. Sometimes you just need to talk to a real person to get clarity on your specific circumstances.

•I think I'm going to try it. This thread has been helpful but I still have questions about my particular severance package.

•Good call. Reddit advice is great for general guidance but every severance agreement is a little different.

Bottom line - file now, report honestly, expect delays if you're getting ongoing severance payments. The Washington ESD system isn't perfect but it works if you follow the rules and are patient with the process.

•Smart move. Good luck with the job search too - hopefully you'll find something before the severance even runs out.
