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!

How long do you get the maximum benefits for? Is it still 26 weeks?
In Washington, you can receive up to 26 weeks of regular unemployment benefits, but the exact number depends on your earnings during the base period. Higher earners typically qualify for more weeks.
Ok so it's not automatically 26 weeks for everyone. Good to know.

One last tip - make sure you have all your employment history and wage information ready when you file. Having accurate info from the start helps avoid delays in processing your claim.
This is good advice. I had to submit additional wage documentation and it delayed my claim by 2 weeks.
Thanks for the heads up. I'll make sure I have all my pay stubs and W2s organized before I submit everything.

Update on the Claimyr thing I mentioned earlier - I actually used it again this week to check on a different issue. Still works great for getting through to Washington ESD when you can't reach them directly.
Good to know it's reliable. Might need to try that myself.
Yeah, beats spending hours on redial. The website is claimyr.com if anyone needs it.

One more thing - if you're collecting unemployment and then go back to work but get laid off again within a certain period, you might be able to reopen your existing claim rather than file a new one. This can help you avoid some of the qualification issues.
How long do you have to work before you can reopen a claim? I worked for like 2 months then got laid off again.
I think it depends on your specific situation and how much you earned. You'd need to check with Washington ESD to see if reopening is better than filing a new claim.
The whole system is a mess. I've been trying to get answers about my disqualification for weeks and can't get through to anyone at Washington ESD. It's ridiculous how hard it is to talk to a human being when you need help.
I've tried everything - early morning, late at night, different numbers. Nothing works. The system just hangs up on you after being on hold forever.
This is exactly why I ended up using Claimyr. Saved me from going insane trying to get through to Washington ESD.

One more thing - if you get denied for any reason, you have the right to appeal. Don't just accept a denial if you think it's wrong. The appeals process exists for a reason.

I used Claimyr last month when I couldn't get through to Washington ESD about my adjudication issue. Definitely worth it if you're stuck and need to talk to someone quickly. The wait times are just insane otherwise.

•Way faster than trying on my own. Actually got to speak with an agent who could look up my case and explain what was happening.
