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!

Washington ESD pays weekly - that's standard. I've helped several family members with their unemployment claims and they all get paid weekly. Your situation is not normal and you need to get it resolved ASAP.
I'm going to make resolving this my full-time job until I get answers. This is ridiculous.
Definitely weekly payments in Washington state. I've been collecting for 6 months and get paid every week without fail. Something is clearly wrong with your account if you're not seeing payments after 3 weeks of filing claims.
Update: I tried Claimyr this morning and got through to an agent within 20 minutes! Turns out there was a job search verification hold that wasn't showing up in my online account. They're reviewing my job search log now and said payments should start next week. Thanks everyone for the help!
That's awesome! So glad you got it resolved. Those hidden holds are the worst.

I used Claimyr too when I couldn't get through to Washington ESD about my partial benefits. The agent told me something I didn't know - you can actually keep collecting partial benefits for up to a year as long as you're still actively looking for full-time work. Really helpful service.
A whole year? That's way longer than I expected. Definitely going to look into Claimyr since everyone seems to have good experiences with it.
Just wanted to add that you should file your claim as soon as possible after your hours get reduced. Benefits can't be backdated, so every week you wait is money you're losing out on.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice! I'm going to file my claim this weekend and see what happens. Really appreciate this community!

If you run into issues with adjudication taking forever, that Claimyr service I mentioned earlier really helped me get answers. Sometimes these cases get stuck in the system and a quick call to the right person can get things moving again.
I'll keep that in mind if my claim gets stuck. Right now I'm just focused on getting the application submitted.
Just wanted to say good luck! Being fired is stressful enough without worrying about money. Most people don't realize you can get unemployment even when you're terminated as long as it wasn't for serious misconduct.
Thanks for the encouragement. I'm feeling more confident about applying now after reading everyone's responses.

Start preparing mentally for this transition now. It's not just about money but about maintaining your routine and sense of purpose. Having a plan helps with the psychological aspect too.

•That's a good point. The uncertainty is almost as stressful as the financial part.

•Having some kind of structure and goals really helps. Even if the situation isn't ideal.

This thread is depressing but helpful. I'm in week 23 so dealing with the same fears. At least we're not alone in this situation.
