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!

Make sure you keep making those small payments on the old debt even after you file the new claim. Shows good faith and they might be more flexible with the offset amount.
Good point, I'll keep up with the payments I've been making.
Yeah, don't just stop paying because they're taking it out of your benefits too. Keep doing both if you can afford it.
Bottom line - file immediately. The debt doesn't disqualify you from benefits, it just reduces the amount you receive. You're still entitled to unemployment if you're eligible based on your work history and reason for separation.
Good luck with your claim! Don't let the overpayment stress you out too much.
And remember, if you run into any issues or need to talk to someone at Washington ESD about your specific situation, Claimyr can save you a lot of frustration with the phone system.

One last thing - keep copies of everything! Your initial application, weekly claim confirmations, job search logs, any correspondence from ESD. You never know when you might need to reference something.
Thanks everyone for all the help! I feel much more confident about starting this process now. Going to file my claim tonight.
Good luck! Remember to file your weekly claims every week and keep up with your job search. You've got this!
Another service mention - if you do run into problems and need to talk to ESD, definitely check out that Claimyr thing. I was skeptical at first but it really works. Saved me hours of frustration trying to get through their phone system.
I'll keep that in mind. Hopefully the process goes smoothly but it's good to know there are options if I get stuck.

After you file, you'll need to file weekly claims to actually receive benefits. Don't forget that part - filing the initial claim is just the first step.
Every week, usually on Sundays. You'll get instructions after your initial claim is processed.
And you have to keep filing them even if your claim is in adjudication or you might lose benefits for those weeks.
Last thing - be 100% honest on your application. Washington ESD will verify everything and any false information can disqualify you permanently.
Definitely planning to be completely honest. Not worth the risk of getting in trouble.
Smart approach. Better to be approved slower than to have your claim denied for misrepresentation.

One last tip - if you're unsure about anything during the application process, it's better to be honest and provide too much information than to leave something out. Washington ESD can always clarify things later, but omitting information can cause delays or issues with your claim.
Great advice! I'll make sure to be thorough when I fill out the application.
Absolutely. Accuracy and completeness are key to avoiding adjudication delays and other complications.

Glad you got your questions answered! The Washington ESD system can definitely be confusing at first but once you get into the routine it becomes second nature. Just remember to keep good records of everything in case you need to reference it later.
