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!

Last thing - if your claim gets approved, you'll receive a debit card in the mail for your payments. Don't throw it away thinking it's junk mail! It takes about 7-10 days to arrive.
Thanks for that heads up! I probably would have tossed it thinking it was a credit card offer.
Happens to a lot of people! The envelope looks pretty generic. You can also set up direct deposit instead if you prefer.

Final advice: keep records of EVERYTHING. Save confirmation numbers from your weekly claims, keep your job search log updated, save any correspondence from Washington ESD. You'll thank yourself later if any problems come up.
Screenshots are your friend too. The ESD website sometimes has glitches and having proof of what you submitted can save you headaches
Will definitely do that. This thread has been incredibly helpful - way more info than I expected to get!

The weekly claims are way easier than the initial filing so don't worry about those too much.
That's reassuring. This whole process is pretty overwhelming.

Remember that even if Washington ESD takes a while to make their determination, you can still file weekly claims and get back pay if approved. Don't let the wait discourage you from continuing the process.
That's really important to know. I was worried about losing weeks if the decision took too long.
Nope, as long as you keep filing your weekly claims, you'll get back pay for any weeks you're found eligible for benefits.
Bottom line - being fired doesn't automatically disqualify you. Washington generally sides with workers unless there's clear evidence of willful misconduct. File your claim and let them sort it out.
That's exactly what I needed to hear. Filing was the right move even though I was unsure.
Absolutely. Better to file and potentially get denied than not file at all and definitely get nothing.
