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!

Final tip for everyone - keep all your documentation organized. Pay stubs, separation paperwork, correspondence from Washington ESD. If they ever audit your claim or you need to appeal something, you'll need all of it.
Good advice. I've been keeping everything in a folder but should probably scan it all too.
Definitely scan or take photos. Digital copies are easier to submit if they request documentation online.
This thread has been super helpful! I was worried about the whole process but it seems more straightforward than I thought. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences.
Agreed! I feel much more confident about my claim now. This community is great.
Happy to help. We've all been through the unemployment process and know how stressful it can be. Good luck with your claim!

UPDATE: I was finally able to certify about an hour ago. Looks like whatever was wrong with the system got fixed. Try again if you're still having issues!
Thank you! I'll try right now.
Just tried and it worked for me too. Crisis averted!

The job search requirements are actually pretty flexible. You can count things like updating your resume, attending virtual job fairs, or even researching companies as job search activities.
Yes, keep a detailed log with dates, company names, and what you did. Washington ESD can audit your job search activities at any time.
WorkSourceWA has a built-in job search tracking tool that makes this easier. You can log activities right in their system.
If you run into problems or have questions after filing, don't hesitate to call for help. I know the phone lines are busy, but that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier really does work. Got me through to a real person in minutes instead of hours.
Thanks everyone for all the help! I feel much more confident about starting the application now.
Good luck! The process seems overwhelming at first but it's really not that bad once you get started. Don't hesitate to ask if you have more questions.

Update us after your hearing! I'm dealing with a similar situation and would love to hear how it goes. There's not enough information out there about what these hearings are actually like.

Used Claimyr myself when I needed to speak with Washington ESD about my hearing date getting rescheduled. Their service at claimyr.com really does work - got connected within minutes instead of spending days trying to get through. Worth checking out if you need to talk to someone at ESD about your case.
