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!

The whole adjudication process is such a nightmare. Been waiting 5 weeks for them to review my claim and still no word. Can't get through on the phone to check status either.
That's exactly the situation where Claimyr helped me out. Was able to get through to Washington ESD and find out my adjudication was stuck because they needed additional documentation I didn't know about.
Really? Maybe I should try that. This waiting is killing me financially.
For budgeting purposes, remember that unemployment is temporary. Even if you get the maximum 26 weeks, that's only about 6 months. Start looking for work immediately even if the job search requirement is only 3 contacts per week.
Yeah, I'm definitely not planning to rely on it long-term. Just need something to bridge the gap while I find another management position.
Smart approach. The longer you're out of work, the harder it gets to find something at the same level. Use the unemployment time to network and keep your skills sharp.

Thanks for this thread everyone! Really helped me understand how my $423 weekly amount was calculated. Turns out my high quarter was $10,998 so $423 is exactly right.
Great example! Shows the formula works consistently when you have the right wage information.
One last tip - keep copies of everything! Your monetary determination, pay stubs, W-2s, etc. You never know when you might need to reference them if there are questions about your claim later.
Excellent advice. I learned this the hard way when I had to appeal a disqualification and needed to prove my wages.

Just do it tonight. Stop overthinking. The worst they can do is deny you and then you appeal. But you'll never know if you qualify unless you try.
You're right. I've been putting it off because I'm nervous but that's not helping anything.
Filed mine about a week after getting fired and wished I had done it sooner. Every day counts when you're out of work and need that income.
Definitely. I can't afford to wait around much longer. Bills don't stop coming.
Exactly. And even if there are delays in processing, at least you get the process started.

Last thing - if you do end up needing to contact Washington ESD about your claim and can't get through their regular phone lines, definitely check out that Claimyr service. Made such a difference in my experience dealing with the system.

•I'll definitely keep that in mind. Hopefully I won't need any of this but it's good to know how it all works.

•That's the right attitude. The system is there if you need it, but hopefully you'll stay employed and never have to use it.

•Right? Real people explaining things is so much more helpful than government websites full of jargon.
