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 weekly claims are way easier than the initial filing so don't worry about those too much.
That's reassuring. This whole process is pretty overwhelming.

Thanks for asking this question OP! I've been wondering the same thing. Sounds like 2-4am Tuesday is the general consensus for most banks.
No problem! This thread has been really helpful for me too
Yeah this is good info to have. Nice to know I'm not the only one who checks their account at 3am on Tuesday lol
One last thing - if your payment doesn't show up by like 10am Tuesday, that's when you should probably call Washington ESD to check on it. Earlier than that and it might just be normal bank processing delays.
And if you do need to call, definitely check out that Claimyr service I mentioned earlier. Made my life so much easier when I had payment issues
This has all been super helpful everyone. Thanks for all the responses!

The most important thing is to keep records of everything - your notice, any calls you make, any payments you send. If this does eventually affect your credit, you'll need documentation to dispute it.
Great advice. I'll start keeping a file of everything related to this overpayment.
Yeah, documentation is key with any government issue. Always cover yourself with paperwork.
Update: I just got through to Washington ESD using one of those callback services and set up a payment plan. No mention of credit reporting as long as I stick to the payments. Feeling much better now.
Used Claimyr - worked exactly like they said it would. Got connected to an agent who was actually helpful and understanding about my situation.
Good to hear a success story. I might give them a try too since I'm still stuck trying to reach someone about my own overpayment.

Thanks everyone for all the advice! I feel much more confident about handling this question now. Going to practice my explanation and focus on the positive aspects of how I've spent my time job searching.
You'll do great! Just remember that unemployment is temporary and you're actively working to change your situation.
Hope you land something soon! Keep us posted on how the interviews go.
This thread was really helpful for me too. I'm about to start interviewing after 6 months on unemployment and was worried about the same thing. Nice to know I'm not alone in this situation.
Glad it helped! Good luck with your job search too.
There are definitely more of us dealing with this than you'd think. Job market has been tough.

The application timelines are totally different too. You can apply for unemployment online and potentially start receiving benefits within 2-3 weeks. SSI applications take months just for the initial decision, and most people get denied the first time.

•Yeah my cousin has been waiting 8 months for her SSI decision. Meanwhile unemployment should be much faster if you have all your paperwork ready.

•Wow, 8 months! Yeah I definitely need the income now, not in 8 months.

One last thing - if you're confused about ANY part of your unemployment claim, definitely get help rather than guessing. Wrong information can mess up your benefits. I used that Claimyr service when I had questions about my weekly claims and it was super helpful.

•Smart approach. Better to get accurate info from Washington ESD directly than rely on what neighbors think they know!
