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!

Been getting Washington ESD payments for 4 months now and Wednesday has never failed. Only thing that throws off the schedule is federal holidays that close banks.
Perfect, that gives me confidence in planning my weekly budget around Wednesday payments. Thanks everyone for all the helpful info!
You're welcome! This forum has been super helpful for navigating the unemployment system.
One more thing - if your payment is ever late or missing, don't panic immediately. Sometimes there are processing delays that resolve within 24 hours. But if it's been more than 2 days, definitely contact Washington ESD.
Good advice! I tend to worry about money stuff so it's good to know some delay can be normal.
And when you do need to contact them, that Claimyr service really does work. Saved me so much frustration when I had a payment issue last month.

The key to winning your appeal is being organized and having a clear timeline of events. Practice explaining your side of the story clearly and concisely before the hearing.
Good advice. I should probably write out a timeline now while everything is still fresh in my memory.
Exactly! And stick to the facts. Don't get emotional during the hearing even if the employer's representative says things that aren't true.
Been watching this thread and just wanted to say good luck with your appeal! It's stressful but if you have good documentation like you say, you should win. The system is frustrating but it does work sometimes.
Thanks for the encouragement! This thread has been super helpful. At least now I know what I need to do and that I'm not alone in dealing with this.

I had a similar situation and Claimyr helped me get through to someone at Washington ESD who explained exactly what I needed for my appeal. Definitely worth trying if you can't reach them directly.
Everyone keeps mentioning Claimyr. I might have to check that out since I can never get through to Washington ESD.
It really works. I was amazed how quickly they got me connected after I'd been trying for weeks on my own.

Just remember that receiving unemployment isn't something to be ashamed of - you paid into the system while you were working, so you've earned these benefits if you need them.
That's a good point. I guess I was thinking of it as charity, but you're right that it's something I've been paying into.
Exactly! It's insurance that you've been paying for. Use it if you need it.

You mentioned you're confused about documentation - honestly, the application will tell you exactly what you need as you go through it. Don't stress too much about gathering everything beforehand.

•You've got this! The restaurant industry layoff should be pretty straightforward for Washington ESD to process.
