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!

This thread has been super helpful. I'm in a similar situation and was completely lost about the timing. Now I know to file immediately and keep up with weekly claims.
Glad it helped you too! This community is great for getting real answers.
That's what we're here for. Feel free to ask if you run into any issues during the filing process.
One last thing - if you're worried about making mistakes on your application, Washington ESD does allow you to make corrections later, but it's easier to get it right the first time. Take your time filling it out.
That's reassuring to know I can fix mistakes if needed.
Just remember that some corrections might require talking to an agent, which can take time to get through.

Actually used Claimyr myself a few months ago when I needed to talk to someone about my wage base period. The service got me connected pretty quickly and the Washington ESD rep was able to explain exactly how they calculated my benefits using my gross quarterly wages. Worth checking out if you need to speak with someone directly.
How quickly did they get you connected? I've been trying to call Washington ESD for days.
I think it was within a few hours. Way better than the endless busy signals I was getting before.

Thanks for all this info everyone! I feel so much more confident about filing my claim now. Going to get my SAW account set up and start the process this week.
Good luck! The system can be a bit overwhelming at first but you'll get the hang of it. Don't hesitate to ask if you run into specific issues.
You got this! Just stay on top of your weekly claims and job search requirements and you should be fine.

UPDATE: Just got off the phone with Washington ESD! Took about 25 minutes of waiting but I got through. The agent was super helpful and changed my mother's maiden name in about 3 minutes once I verified my identity. She said it won't affect my weekly claims at all. Thanks everyone for the advice!
That's great news! Maybe I'll have better luck if I try calling again tomorrow.
Perfect! This thread will definitely help other people who need to make the same kind of change.

Hope your deposit comes through soon! The waiting is the worst part, especially when you have bills due. Keep us posted on what happens.

For what it's worth, I switched from a big bank to a local credit union specifically because of slow unemployment deposits. Now I get my Washington ESD payments Tuesday morning like clockwork.

•Numerica Credit Union. They're great for unemployment deposits and no monthly fees.
