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!

If you have problems with certification that you can't resolve online, calling Washington ESD is your best bet. Though like someone mentioned earlier, their phone system is frustrating. I've heard good things about that Claimyr service for getting through to them faster.
I'm going to bookmark that Claimyr site just in case I run into problems.
Smart idea. Better to have it ready than spend hours on hold when you're stressed about a certification issue.
One more tip: Print or screenshot your certification confirmation each week. It's proof you submitted it on time if there's ever a question about your claim.
Great advice! I'll start doing that from my first certification.
It's saved me from having to prove I certified on time more than once. Always good to have documentation.

I keep getting disconnected after waiting for 2+ hours. It's like the system just hangs up on you automatically.
Same thing happens to me! I think there's a time limit before it disconnects you.
So frustrating. All that time wasted just to get hung up on.
Has anyone tried calling the employer hotline by mistake? I did that once and got through immediately, but they couldn't help with my claim obviously.
Ha! At least you got through to someone, even if they couldn't help.
Right? It was nice to hear a human voice for once, even if it was the wrong department.

Been through this process twice now and the waiting never gets easier. But once you get that first payment, the relief is incredible. Hang in there!
Thanks everyone for all the advice and support. This thread has been really helpful!

It's 2025 and we still have unemployment systems that take weeks to process simple claims. This is why people lose faith in government.
I get the frustration but these systems process millions of claims. Some delay is inevitable.
Other countries manage to do this much faster with better technology. We're behind.
