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 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.

0 coins

Definitely. I can't afford to wait around much longer. Bills don't stop coming.

0 coins

Exactly. And even if there are delays in processing, at least you get the process started.

One more thing - if you do end up needing to talk to someone at Washington ESD, I'd recommend trying that Claimyr service I mentioned earlier. Way less stressful than the regular phone system.

0 coins

I'm definitely going to look into that if I don't hear something soon. Thanks for the suggestion.

0 coins

I used something similar and it was worth it just for the peace of mind of knowing what was happening with my claim.

0 coins

Just wanted to add that sometimes no news is good news. If there were major issues with your claim, they would probably contact you pretty quickly for more information.

0 coins

That's actually really reassuring. I hadn't thought about it that way.

0 coins

That's generally true. Claims that require additional verification or have eligibility questions usually generate requests for information fairly quickly.

I moved here from California and filed an interstate claim. It took 3 weeks but eventually went through. Just be patient with the process.

0 coins

That's encouraging! Did you have to provide any additional documentation for the out-of-state wages?

0 coins

Not really, Washington ESD handled most of the verification with California automatically. I just had to wait for them to process it.

0 coins

Thanks for all the info in this thread! I learned a lot about the work requirements. Going to apply for my claim this week.

0 coins

Good luck! Make sure to apply as soon as possible after your last day of work to avoid any delays.

0 coins

Will do! This thread was super helpful.

0 coins

Agreed! Real people's experiences are so much more useful than the official documentation.

0 coins

Exactly! Now I feel much more confident about managing my weekly claims and knowing when to expect payments.

0 coins

This is why I love this forum - people actually help each other figure out this confusing stuff instead of just complaining about it.

0 coins

Absolutely! We've all been confused by the unemployment system at some point. Better to share knowledge and help each other out.

0 coins

For anyone else reading this later - the wage requirements do change annually so make sure you're looking at current year amounts when you file your claim.

0 coins

Great point! Always check the current year requirements on the Washington ESD website or ask an agent for the most up-to-date figures.
