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 thing nobody mentioned - make sure you file your weekly claims every week even during the waiting period. I missed filing one week thinking it didn't matter since I wasn't getting paid yet, and it created a whole mess I had to sort out later.
Excellent point! You must file weekly claims continuously to maintain eligibility, even during the waiting week.
Good to know! I'll make sure to set a reminder to file every week once I start.
The system really isn't that complicated once you get into the routine. File initial claim ASAP, then file weekly claims every week, do your job searches, keep records. It becomes second nature pretty quickly.
Maybe for you it's not complicated but some of us find all the rules and requirements really overwhelming
Fair point, everyone's different. The key is just taking it one step at a time and not getting overwhelmed by everything at once.

Just wanted to add that if you do manage to get through to Washington ESD to ask about your specific situation, make sure to get any information in writing or at least document who you spoke with and when.
Great point. I'll definitely do that if I can ever reach someone. Still haven't had luck getting through on the phone.
That's exactly why Claimyr was so helpful for me. Took the frustration out of trying to reach them repeatedly.

One last tip - save copies of everything you submit and keep track of all your confirmation numbers. If anything goes wrong with your claim, you'll need that documentation to sort it out.
Great point! I'll make sure to screenshot everything as I go through the process.
Screenshots are good, but also print out or save PDFs of important documents. You never know when you might need them for an appeal or audit.
If you run into issues with your claim getting stuck in adjudication or need to speak with someone at Washington ESD, definitely look into Claimyr. I was in limbo for weeks trying to get through on the phone until someone recommended their service. Worth every penny to actually get answers about my claim status.
Same experience here! Washington ESD phone system is basically impossible to navigate on your own.
I'll definitely keep Claimyr in mind if I run into problems. Hopefully my application goes smoothly though!

Keep all your documentation from when you originally filed your claim. If Washington ESD made the error based on information you provided correctly, that might strengthen your waiver request.
Good thinking. I still have all my paperwork from when I filed. I reported everything accurately so this really is their mistake.
That should definitely help your case. Make copies of everything before you submit your waiver application.
The worst part about these overpayment situations is how long it takes to resolve anything with Washington ESD. Everything moves at a snails pace.
Tell me about it. I've been trying to get answers for weeks now and I'm no closer to understanding my options.
That's exactly why I ended up using Claimyr. Sometimes you just need to talk to an actual person to get real answers instead of trying to figure it out from their confusing letters.

One more tip - when you file online, make sure you answer all the questions completely and accurately. If you're unsure about something, it's better to explain too much than too little. You can always clarify later but incomplete information can cause delays.

Hope everything works out for you. The unemployment system isn't perfect but it's there for situations exactly like yours. You worked, you paid into it, and now you need it. That's how it's supposed to work.
