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!

Does anyone know if they announce the new maximum benefit amount before July or do we just find out when it happens?
They usually announce it sometime in late spring/early summer, but it doesn't always get a lot of publicity. Sometimes it just shows up in their quarterly newsletter or on their website.

Last suggestion - start networking like crazy. Reach out to old colleagues, join professional groups, attend virtual meetups. Sometimes opportunities come from unexpected places.
You're right, I probably haven't been networking enough. Time to swallow my pride and reach out to everyone I know.
I used that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier to get through to Washington ESD about my situation. Turns out there was an error in my claim that was fixable. Worth checking if you have any issues that might extend your benefits.
Interesting - I should probably call to make sure there are no issues with my claim that I don't know about.

Been there with layoffs. It's scary at first but unemployment benefits really do help bridge the gap. Just follow the rules, file every week, and keep looking for work. You'll get through this.
Thanks for the encouragement. Everyone here has been so helpful. I'm feeling much more confident about handling this whole situation.
One more thing - if your claim gets held up in adjudication for any reason, that's when you'll really want to be able to reach someone at Washington ESD. I had a minor issue with my separation date and it delayed everything by weeks until I could get it sorted out over the phone.
Hopefully that won't happen but good to know. The Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier might be helpful if I run into that.
Yeah, I wish I had known about that when I was dealing with my issue. Would have saved me a lot of stress and phone calls that went nowhere.

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!

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.
