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!

Remember to keep filing your weekly claims even if your initial claim is under review. You don't want to miss out on benefits for weeks you're eligible for just because the adjudication process takes time.
Good reminder! I wouldn't have thought about that.
Yeah, lots of people make that mistake. Keep filing weekly even during adjudication.

thanks for all the info everyone. this thread answered all my questions about payment timing too
Glad it helped you too! This community is really helpful.
Just to close the loop on this discussion - Washington ESD's payment processing is generally reliable once you understand the schedule. The key is consistent filing, meeting all requirements, and knowing when to reach out for help if something goes wrong. Most payment issues can be resolved quickly once you get the right person on the phone.
hopefully ill have a success story to share once i get my adjudication sorted out
good luck! keep us posted on how it goes

One more thing - keep your pay stubs! If you ever do need to file for unemployment, Washington ESD might ask for wage documentation as part of the application process.
Good tip! I usually throw them away but I'll start keeping them organized.
Digital copies work too if your employer provides them. Just make sure you can access them if needed.
I used Claimyr when I couldn't figure out why my employer reported different wages than what I thought I earned. The Washington ESD agent was able to pull up the exact quarterly reports and explain the discrepancy. Turned out to be a timing issue with when bonuses were reported.
That's exactly the kind of thing I'd be confused about. Good to know there's a way to get real answers.
Yeah, trying to navigate Washington ESD's automated system for complex questions is nearly impossible. Sometimes you just need to talk to a human.

One more thing to watch out for - make sure your direct deposit info is still current. I had to update mine because I switched banks during my waiting period and almost had my payment sent to a closed account.
You can update your direct deposit info anytime in your Washington ESD account under payment options
Exactly - better to check it now than have to wait even longer for payment
Congrats again OP! Hope you get that payment soon and can finally relax a bit. This whole process is way more stressful than it should be.
Please do update us! Always good to have current info about processing times
And remember, if anyone else is still stuck waiting for adjudication and needs to reach Washington ESD, Claimyr really does work for getting through to agents. Sometimes that personal contact makes all the difference in getting things moving.

Just wanted to share that I had one week where my payment was delayed because I forgot to complete my job search log in WorkSourceWA. Even though I did the searches, I hadn't logged them properly. Always double-check that everything is complete before you file your weekly claim.

•Yeah, they're pretty strict about it. But once you get in the habit it's not too bad.
