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!

Will do! Hopefully I'll have good news to share by then.

This thread is really helpful, I'm in a similar situation and was wondering the same things. Thanks for asking the question!

Glad it helped! It's nice to know I'm not the only one dealing with this uncertainty.

Definitely not alone, seems like a lot of people are in similar situations right now.

Last thing - make sure you're available for work and actively looking for jobs. Washington ESD does check on that stuff and it can affect your claim if you're not meeting the requirements.

0 coins

Yep, been applying to jobs and logging my search activities. Thanks for the reminder though

0 coins

Good that you're staying on top of the job search requirements - that's important for keeping benefits flowing

Hoping you get good news soon! The first approval is always the most nerve-wracking but once it goes through the weekly payments usually come pretty regularly.

Thanks everyone for all the advice and encouragement, really helps during a stressful time

0 coins

That's what this community is for - we've all been there and know how tough the waiting can be

Just want to emphasize what others have said - NEVER hide income from Washington ESD. They cross-reference with employers and tax records. It's not worth trying to game the system.

0 coins

Definitely won't try to hide anything. This thread has made that very clear!

0 coins

Smart choice. I've seen people get in real trouble for not reporting work income.

If anyone else needs to talk to Washington ESD about partial benefits or work reporting, that Claimyr service mentioned earlier really does work. Used it last month when I had questions about how my seasonal work would affect my benefits.

0 coins

Good to hear another positive experience with that service. I'll keep it in mind if I need to call Washington ESD.

0 coins

Thanks everyone for all the helpful information! This thread has been really informative for understanding Washington ESD requirements.

0 coins

Agreed! I feel much more confident about my situation now. Really appreciate everyone taking the time to explain things.

0 coins

Final thought - that claimyr service I mentioned earlier has a video demo that shows exactly how it works. Might be worth watching even if you don't use it, just so you know what options you have if the waiting gets too stressful.

0 coins

I'll check out the demo. Thanks for all the help everyone. This thread has been way more helpful than anything I found on the Washington ESD website.

Hope everything works out for you! The waiting is definitely the hardest part but most people do get approved if they were legitimately laid off. Keep us posted on how it goes!

0 coins

Will do! Thanks again for the Claimyr recommendation. I'm feeling a lot better about the whole process now.
