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 last thing - if your former employer contests your unemployment claim for any reason, having documentation about your severance package could be important. Keep all the paperwork just in case.
Great point. I've got copies of everything from my termination meeting.
Perfect. Hope your claim goes smoothly!
This whole discussion reminds me why I love reddit for this kind of practical advice. Way more helpful than trying to navigate Washington ESD's website alone.
Totally agree! Getting real experiences from people who've been through it is invaluable.
Yeah, sometimes crowdsourced knowledge beats official documentation.

Thanks again everyone. Filed my new claim this morning and got confirmation. Now just need to tackle the overpayment issue. Will try calling early tomorrow morning first, then consider the Claimyr option if that doesn't work.
Keep us updated on how it goes. Always good to know what's working for getting through to Washington ESD.
Congrats on getting the claim filed. That's the most important step done.
This whole thread is exactly why I love this forum. Real people helping each other navigate the Washington ESD maze. Way better than trying to figure this stuff out from their website.
Absolutely. The official Washington ESD info is so confusing and generic.
Agreed. Real experiences from people who've been through it are invaluable.

UPDATE: That Claimyr service actually worked! Got through to someone at ESD and found out my claim was just in normal processing, should be approved within the next few days. Finally some peace of mind.
That's awesome! I'm definitely going to try Claimyr if I don't hear something soon. Thanks for the update!
Glad it worked out for you! That's exactly the kind of situation where having direct contact with an ESD agent makes all the difference.

I used Claimyr when I needed to clarify some confusion about my remaining weeks. They got me connected fast and the agent was able to explain exactly where I stood with my benefits. Definitely recommend it if you need to talk to someone at Washington ESD without the phone hassle.
Good to know there's a way to actually get through to them when needed!

The Washington ESD website has a benefit calculator but honestly talking to an actual person helps clarify things if your situation is complicated. I had multiple jobs during my base period and needed someone to explain how they combined the wages.

•That's exactly my situation - I had 2 different jobs during the base period. Might be worth calling to get it explained properly.

•Definitely recommend using Claimyr if you need to actually talk to someone. Made the whole process much clearer for me when I had questions about my calculation.

Filed 3 weeks ago and still waiting for my monetary determination. The waiting is the worst part because you can't plan anything without knowing what you'll get. Hope your process goes smoother than mine has been.

•3 weeks seems like a long time! Have you tried calling to check on the status?

•Tried calling but never got through. My online account just says 'pending' with no other details. Frustrating.
