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!

Has anyone tried using Claimyr for getting help with the application itself, or is it just for calling Washington ESD later?

I used it mainly for calling about my claim status after I filed, but I think they can help you get connected to agents for questions about the application process too. The agents can walk you through it if you get stuck.

That's helpful to know. I might try that if I run into issues.

Just wanted to follow up and say I successfully filed my claim online yesterday using everyone's advice here! The process took about 40 minutes once I had all my info together. Thanks for all the help!

Just be patient with the website - it's not the most user-friendly but it works. And definitely have all your employment info organized before you start.

Glad it worked out for you! Make sure to set a reminder for your weekly claims so you don't miss any.

Best of luck with your job search once you get everything sorted out. It's great that your condition has improved to the point where you can consider working again.

Thank you! I'm cautiously optimistic about being able to work part-time. Just want to make sure I handle the benefit issues correctly.

Feel free to update this thread once you get some official answers from the agencies. It would be helpful for others in similar situations.

I will definitely update once I know more. Thanks again everyone for all the helpful advice and information.

Been there! Lost my $1100/week job last year and was so stressed about money. Unemployment definitely helped bridge the gap while I found something new. Don't be afraid to use the system - you paid into it with your taxes.

Thanks for the encouragement! I do feel a bit weird about filing but you're right - I did pay into it.

0 coins

Exactly! It's insurance you already paid for. Use it when you need it.

If you run into any issues with your claim or need to talk to someone at Washington ESD, that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier is actually pretty helpful. My sister used it when her claim got stuck and it saved her weeks of trying to get through. Worth keeping in mind if you need it.

0 coins

Thanks! I'll definitely remember that if I run into problems. Seems like several people here have had good experiences with it.

Yeah, it really does work. Wish I had known about it sooner when I was dealing with my unemployment issues.

One last piece of advice - keep detailed records of everything related to your termination and your unemployment claim. Save emails, write down dates and times of phone calls, keep copies of all your paperwork. If there's ever a dispute or appeal, having good documentation makes all the difference.

Great advice. I'll start documenting everything now. Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences - this thread has been incredibly helpful!

My biggest advice is to file your weekly claims on the same day every week. I always did mine on Sunday mornings so I wouldn't forget. Consistency helps avoid missing deadlines.

0 coins

That's a great idea. I'll set a reminder on my phone.

One more thing - if you worked in multiple states in the past 18 months, you might need to file an interstate claim. Washington ESD will help you figure that out.

I've only worked in Washington, so I should be good there.
