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!

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.

Make sure you're checking your eServices account regularly for any notices or requests for additional information. Sometimes claims get delayed because people miss important messages.
I check it every day but so far just shows 'processing'. No requests for additional info yet.

The uncertainty is the worst part. I wish Washington ESD was clearer about what happens when benefits end and what options are available.
Agreed! I had to piece together information from multiple sources just to understand my situation.
This is exactly why I ended up using Claimyr. I needed to talk to someone who could give me clear answers about my specific situation instead of trying to figure it out from the website.
Keep networking and stay positive. I know it's hard but sometimes the best opportunities come from connections rather than online applications.
You're probably right. I've been so focused on online applications that I haven't been networking much.
LinkedIn, professional associations, even friends and family. Let people know you're looking - you never know what might come up.

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!

Final tip for everyone - keep all your documentation organized. Pay stubs, separation paperwork, correspondence from Washington ESD. If they ever audit your claim or you need to appeal something, you'll need all of it.

•Good advice. I've been keeping everything in a folder but should probably scan it all too.

•Definitely scan or take photos. Digital copies are easier to submit if they request documentation online.
