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!

Don't stress too much about the requirements - if you've been working steadily for 2 years you almost certainly qualify. The worst they can do is say no, and then you can appeal if needed.
True, I guess I'm overthinking it. Thanks for the encouragement!

OP, did you end up checking your wage history? I'm curious what you found out about your eligibility.
I'm still trying to log into my SecureAccess Washington account to check my wage history. The website keeps timing out on me.
Hope this thread helped answer your question! It's a complicated topic but at least now you know what to look for. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
Thanks everyone! This has been really helpful. I'm going to check my wage history and probably try to talk to someone at Washington ESD to get a definitive answer about my situation.
Smart approach. Having your wage information ready when you talk to them will make the conversation much more productive.

hang in there! the waiting sucks but once its approved you get all the back pay so its worth the wait
Thanks for the encouragement! Looking forward to that back pay.
Last thing - if you do need to contact Washington ESD and the regular phone lines aren't working, that Claimyr service people mentioned actually worked for my sister. She was able to get through and find out her claim was approved but there was a glitch preventing the notification email from sending.

Document everything! Keep copies of all medical records, correspondence with Washington ESD, job applications, everything. You never know when you'll need to reference something.
Good advice. I'll start a dedicated folder for all unemployment-related documents.
Digital copies are great too in case you need to upload documents to the Washington ESD portal.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful responses! I feel much more prepared to navigate this process now. It's reassuring to know others have successfully managed both disability and unemployment benefits.
Good luck! Feel free to update us on how it goes.
And remember about Claimyr if you need to actually talk to someone at Washington ESD. It really does work.

One more tip - if you do get approved, consider setting up automatic payments. Some lenders offer a small interest rate discount for autopay, and it helps ensure you never miss a payment.

•Great suggestion! Every little bit of savings helps, and avoiding late fees is definitely worth it.

Just wanted to follow up - I've had my financed car for 8 months now and it's been great. The peace of mind of having reliable transportation was worth the monthly payment. Just make sure you budget properly and you should be fine.
