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!

One thing nobody mentioned - make sure you have your employer's complete information when filing. Sometimes Washington ESD has trouble reaching employers if the contact info is wrong, which can delay your claim.
I used the info from my last paystub. Should be accurate since it was just last week.
Keep copies of everything - your termination paperwork, your claim application, any correspondence from Washington ESD. If you need to appeal later you'll want all that documentation organized.
Good point. I've been taking screenshots of everything on the website too.
Smart. The more documentation you have, the better prepared you'll be if any issues come up.

One more thing - if you do get stuck trying to reach ESD during your adjudication process, I had success with Claimyr too. It's basically a service that helps you get through to ESD agents when you can't get through yourself. Really helped when I needed to provide additional information for my case.
The phone situation with ESD is honestly ridiculous. Anything that helps get through to them is worth it.
Exactly. When you're dealing with adjudication and need to provide clarification, being able to actually talk to someone at ESD makes all the difference.

Great to hear it worked out! For anyone else reading this thread, the Tuesday filing to Thursday payment timeline is pretty typical for Washington ESD when there are no complications with your claim.
This thread turned out to be a good reference for payment timelines. Lots of real examples here.
Agreed, this should help other people who are stressed about their first payment.
Glad this worked out for you! Just shows that the system does work when everything goes smoothly. The key is filing consistently and keeping good records of your job search.
Absolutely, I'm feeling much more confident about the whole process now.
Same here, this thread really helped calm my nerves about the payment process.

Best of luck with everything! Being pregnant and unemployed is tough, but Washington ESD should approve your claim as long as you meet the basic requirements.

Just want to echo what others have said - pregnancy alone cannot disqualify you from unemployment benefits in Washington. That would be discrimination.
