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 wanted to add - when you do get approved, make sure to file your weekly claims on time every week. Missing even one week can cause problems later. Set a reminder on your phone or something.
Will do! What day of the week are you supposed to file?
You can file Sunday through Saturday for the previous week. I always do mine on Sunday morning to get it out of the way.
I was approved but never got the letter in the mail - it got lost somehow. But my online account showed everything clearly so I was able to start filing weekly claims without the physical letter. The online info is what really matters.
Good to know the online account is the main source of truth. I'll keep monitoring that closely.

My advice: file your weekly claims religiously, respond to any ESD requests immediately, and try not to stress too much about the timeline. Most people get their first payment within 2-3 weeks assuming no complications.
Thanks for the reassurance. I'll try to be patient and just focus on what I can control.
That's the right attitude. The money will come through, it's just a matter of waiting for the bureaucracy to work.

Hope your payment comes through soon! The waiting game is the worst part of the whole unemployment process. Once you get into the routine of filing weekly and receiving regular payments, it becomes much less stressful.
Thanks for all the encouragement everyone. This thread has been really helpful and made me feel a lot less alone in this process.
That's what this community is for! We've all been through the unemployment stress and it helps to share experiences.
Keep us posted on when your payment comes through! Always interested to hear how long the processing actually takes for people since it can vary so much depending on individual circumstances.
Will do! Fingers crossed it shows up in the next day or two. I'll update the thread once I see the deposit.
Looking forward to hearing good news. These success updates help other people in similar situations know what to expect.

Hang in there! I know the waiting is stressful but 10 days really isn't that long in Washington ESD time. You should hear something soon.
Thank you for the encouragement! This thread has been really helpful and reassuring.
One more thing - if you have any issues with your claim or need to make changes, don't wait. Contact them as soon as possible because delays can affect your benefits.
Good advice! I'll definitely reach out if anything seems off.
Exactly why I used Claimyr when I had questions - much faster than trying to get through on my own.

Just remember that even if you qualify for $700+ per week, you still need to be actively looking for work. Don't treat unemployment as a vacation because they do check up on your job search activities.

•How often do they check? Is it random or do they audit everyone?

•It's mostly random but they can audit anyone. Just keep good records of your job search activities in WorkSourceWA and you'll be fine.

Good luck with your claim! The whole process can be stressful but once you get through the initial setup, the weekly claims are pretty routine. Just make sure to file every week even if you haven't heard about your benefit amount yet.
