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!

For urgent issues, you can also try contacting your state representative's office. They sometimes can help get through to Washington ESD faster.
Really? I never thought of that option.
Yeah, they have contacts at ESD for constituent services. Won't help with routine questions but good for urgent problems.
Keep trying the main number but also document your attempts. If you have ongoing issues, that documentation can be helpful if you need to escalate later.
Good point about documentation. I should start keeping track of my call attempts.
I use a simple spreadsheet with date, time, how long I waited, and outcome. Helps show the pattern when you need to file complaints.

Hang in there. I know the waiting is awful but most cases do get resolved eventually. The system is slow but it usually works in the end.
Thanks for the encouragement. Really helps to have this community during such a stressful time.
Six weeks is frustrating but I've seen cases take 10+ weeks for complex separation issues. If you can get through to Washington ESD directly, they might be able to give you a better timeline for your specific case.
10+ weeks would be devastating financially. Really hoping mine doesn't take that long.
That's why services like Claimyr can be worth it - getting actual information instead of just waiting in the dark.

The bottom line is that unemployment isn't free money - there are rules and requirements you have to follow. But if you stay on top of filing your weekly claims and doing your job searches, the system works pretty well.
Thanks everyone! This has been super helpful. I feel much more confident about navigating the system now.
Glad we could help! Don't hesitate to ask if you run into any issues. The unemployment system can be confusing but there are people here who've been through it all.
One final piece of advice - if you ever have problems with your claim or need to speak with Washington ESD, don't wait weeks trying to get through on the phone. Services like Claimyr can save you tons of time and frustration. Sometimes it's worth paying a little to get your issues resolved quickly.
I'll definitely keep that in mind if I run into any problems. Hopefully I won't need it!
Hope you don't either, but it's good to know the option exists if you need it.

Really appreciate this community for helping each other navigate the Washington ESD system. It's complicated enough without having to figure everything out alone.

UPDATE: Just checked my account and the payment finally showed up! Must have been processed late or my bank was slower than usual. Thanks everyone for the advice and support!
