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!

I'm in a similar boat - got laid off from my marketing job last month. Following this thread has been super helpful. Glad to know I'm not alone in trying to figure all this out.
Yeah it's nice to know others are going through the same thing. Hope your claim goes smoothly!
Thanks! Same to you. We'll get through this.
One last tip - when you do file your weekly claims, be completely honest about your job search activities. It's better to document exactly what you did than to try to fluff it up. Washington ESD audits can be random and you don't want to get caught in inconsistencies.
Definitely good advice. I'll make sure to keep detailed records of everything.
Smart approach. Honesty and good documentation will save you headaches down the road.

Hope you get good news soon! The uncertainty is the worst part but sounds like you're doing everything right.
Thanks so much everyone, this has been incredibly helpful and reassuring!
Just wanted to add - if your payment doesn't come by Friday like mentioned above, don't panic immediately. Sometimes there are small delays even with straightforward claims. But that would be the time to reach out to Washington ESD or use one of those calling services to check what's happening.
Perfect, that gives me a clear action plan. Really appreciate everyone taking the time to help!
No problem! We've all been there and this community is great for supporting each other through the process.

The whole base period system is so outdated. Why can't they just use your most recent earnings like every other program?
The base period system exists to ensure there's enough time for employers to report wages and for the state to verify earnings. Using more recent wages would actually create more delays and errors in the system.

If you run into any issues during the application process or your claim gets stuck in adjudication, don't hesitate to call for help. Sometimes talking to an actual person can resolve things much faster than waiting.
Easier said than done with Washington ESD's phone system though. I spent literally hours trying to get through.
That's why services like Claimyr exist - when you really need to reach someone, sometimes you need help getting through the phone maze.

Update us when you hear something! Always helpful to know current processing times since they seem to change based on volume and staffing.

One more thing about Claimyr - they can also help once you're approved if you run into any issues with weekly claims or payments. Having that direct line to Washington ESD agents is really valuable throughout the whole unemployment process.

•That's good to know. Sounds like it might be worth having as a backup option even if things go smoothly.
