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!

just wanted to add - make sure you understand the difference between able and available vs standby status if your layoff was temporary. affects how you file your weekly claims
My layoff was permanent so I think I'm just regular able and available. But good point for others to consider.

The uncertainty is the worst part. I wish Washington ESD was clearer about what happens when benefits end and what options are available.
Agreed! I had to piece together information from multiple sources just to understand my situation.
This is exactly why I ended up using Claimyr. I needed to talk to someone who could give me clear answers about my specific situation instead of trying to figure it out from the website.
Keep networking and stay positive. I know it's hard but sometimes the best opportunities come from connections rather than online applications.
You're probably right. I've been so focused on online applications that I haven't been networking much.
LinkedIn, professional associations, even friends and family. Let people know you're looking - you never know what might come up.

Remember that Washington ESD's main concern is preventing fraud, not punishing people for complicated employment situations. As long as you're transparent and continue meeting your obligations, you should be fine.
That's a good way to think about it. I'll focus on staying compliant and communicating clearly.
Exactly. Transparency and compliance are key. Most issues arise when people try to hide information or cut corners.
hope everything works out with your job situation. these transition periods are stressful but you're handling it the right way by asking questions and staying informed
Thank you! I feel much better about how to handle this after getting everyone's input here.
That's what these forums are for. Good luck with the new job when it finally starts!

One more thing - make sure your address is current in the system. All important notices come by mail and if you miss something like an eligibility review or hearing notice, you could lose benefits.

•Good point. I just moved last month so I need to make sure I updated that everywhere.

Overall the process isn't too complicated if you have your info ready. Just be patient with the system and don't panic if it takes a few weeks to get your first payment. That's normal.
