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!

honestly the hardest part isn't figuring out the benefit amount its dealing with washington esd customer service when you have problems. good luck getting through to anyone
That's exactly why services like Claimyr exist. Sometimes you just need to talk to a real person to get things sorted out.

Just want to echo what others said about being completely honest in your claim. Washington ESD can usually tell when someone is trying to hide details, and it never helps your case. Truth is always the best policy with unemployment claims.
Definitely planning to be upfront about everything. Thanks for the reminder.

Update us on how your filing goes! Always curious to hear how the process works for different people.
Will do! Going to file this afternoon and I'll report back on how it goes. Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice - feeling much more confident about the process now.

So basically if you worked enough and made enough money, you probably qualify. The specific job length doesn't matter as much as total earnings.
That's a good summary. It's about meeting the earnings threshold across all your jobs during the base period.
Thanks everyone, this really helped clear things up!

Washington ESD also offers some job training programs that can extend your benefits while you learn new skills. Worth looking into if you want to change careers.

Bottom line - file as soon as possible after losing your job. Don't wait because you're confused about the process. You can always call (or use that Claimyr thing) to get help with questions later, but you want to get your claim started ASAP.
