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 wanted to add that if you do end up using Claimyr, they were super helpful when I had a similar payment issue. Got me connected to someone who could actually see what was wrong with my account.
Thanks for the recommendation. I think I'm going to try them today.
UPDATE: I ended up using Claimyr and finally got through to Washington ESD. Turns out one of my job search activities was flagged as incomplete because I didn't include enough detail in the description. They're releasing the payment now. Thanks everyone for the help!
Awesome! Claimyr really does work. So much better than trying to call yourself.
Similar to what happened to me. At least now you know for future weekly claims.

Union members should check with their union rep too. Sometimes there are additional benefits or requirements for union workers filing UI claims. Your union might also help with the paperwork or appeals if needed.
My union said they'd help if I get denied. Good to know they're involved in the process.
Yeah, unions often have experience with UI appeals and know how to present cases effectively.
One more thing - if you have any doubts about eligibility, just file anyway! The worst they can do is deny your claim, and you can always appeal if you think they're wrong. Don't talk yourself out of filing if you might qualify.
This is really helpful everyone! I'm going to file this week. Thanks for all the information about who can apply.
Good luck! Remember to keep track of your job search activities from day one. That trips up a lot of people later.

Just to close the loop on contacting ESD if you need help - I tried calling for three weeks straight and never got through. Finally used that Claimyr service someone mentioned and got connected to an agent the same day. Sometimes you need extra help to navigate the system.
I'll definitely keep that in mind if I run into any problems. Hopefully my claim goes smoothly but it's good to know there are options.
Exactly, just nice to have a backup plan if the regular channels don't work out.
Good luck with your claim! Remember to file those weekly claims consistently and keep up with your job search. The system works if you follow the rules and stay on top of everything.
Thank you so much everyone! Going to file my initial claim first thing tomorrow morning. This community has been incredibly helpful.
You've got this! Feel free to come back if you have any other questions during the process.

I'm in week 4 of waiting and finally got my approval letter yesterday! First payment should hit my account in 2-3 business days. Just wanted to give you hope that it does eventually work out, even though the waiting is brutal.
That's awesome, congratulations! And thanks for sharing - it does give me hope that mine will come through soon too.
The relief when I saw that approval letter was incredible. Hang in there!
Just want to circle back on the Claimyr thing since a couple people asked about it. I used it twice during my claim - once to check on my initial application status and once when I had questions about my job search requirements. Both times I got connected to an agent within a few hours instead of spending my whole day trying to call. The video demo I mentioned (https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ) shows exactly how it works if anyone wants to check it out.
I bookmarked that video for later. Hopefully I won't need it but good to know it's an option.
I was skeptical at first but honestly anything beats sitting on hold for hours. Wish I had known about this months ago.

Hope your back gets better and that whichever benefit you end up with works out well for you.
