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 tip - keep copies of everything you submit to Washington ESD. Their system sometimes loses documents and you'll want backup copies if they ask for something again.
Great advice! I'll make sure to scan everything before submitting.
And take screenshots of your online submissions showing the date and time you filed. Helps if there are any disputes later about when you applied.

Whatever you do, don't let them talk you into a predatory loan just because your income situation is complicated. Those high-interest deals can trap you.
Thanks for the warning. I'll definitely be careful about interest rates and terms if I do find a lender willing to work with me.
Yeah, some lenders prey on people in tough situations. Always read the fine print and compare multiple offers.
One more thing - if you do get approved somewhere, make sure you have a solid plan for when your unemployment benefits run out. Lenders might ask about your job search progress.
Smart thinking. Having a job offer or at least solid prospects will make you a much stronger candidate.
Plus you'll sleep better at night knowing you can actually afford the mortgage payments long-term.

Partial unemployment saved me when my hours got cut. Definitely file sooner rather than later - benefits don't backdate very far.
How far back do they backdate if at all?
I think it's only to the Sunday of the week you file your claim. So don't wait if you qualify.
Make sure your employer isn't going to contest your claim. Most don't for partial unemployment but it's worth mentioning to your manager that you're filing.
Should I ask them directly or just mention it casually?
I'd probably just mention it casually. Most employers understand when they cut hours that people need to file for partial benefits.

Final thought - if you do end up using Claimyr or any service to reach Washington ESD, make sure you understand what information they need. But yeah, getting through to an actual person can make a huge difference in understanding your claim status.
