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!

been filing claims for over a year now and honestly the timing matters less than having everything ready to go. know your employer info, have your work search activities documented if required, and don't rush through the questions. better to take your time and get it right than file quickly and have issues later
That's really good perspective. I've been so focused on when to file that I haven't spent enough time making sure I have everything organized.
exactly. rushing through and making mistakes will cause way more problems than filing at a slightly less optimal time
Update for anyone still reading - I tried Claimyr yesterday and it actually worked. Got connected to a Washington ESD agent in about 15 minutes when I had been trying to call for days on my own. The agent was able to help me with a filing issue that I couldn't resolve online. Worth checking out if you're stuck.
did they charge you for the service? trying to decide if its worth the cost
There is a fee but honestly it was worth it compared to the time I was wasting trying to get through myself. The stress reduction alone made it worthwhile for me.

My experience was that being honest and thorough in your initial application really matters. I included details about my medical issues that contributed to my attendance problems, and I think that helped the adjudicator understand the full situation. Don't just put bare minimum information.
Did you attach medical documentation right away or wait for them to ask?
I waited for them to ask during the adjudication interview. They'll tell you exactly what documentation they need.
Final advice from someone who's been through this twice - stay calm and don't assume the worst. The system is designed to help people who lost their jobs through no fault of their own. Even if you were technically 'fired,' if it wasn't for serious misconduct, you have a good chance of getting benefits. Just be patient with the process.
Good luck with your claim! Hope the adjudication goes smoothly.
Appreciate it! I'll update this thread when I hear back from Washington ESD.

Just wanted to follow up on the Claimyr service I mentioned earlier - I've used it twice now when I needed to speak with ESD agents and it's been worth it both times. Much better than spending hours on hold or getting disconnected.
You basically give them your info and they handle the calling and waiting for you. When they get an agent on the line, they connect you directly. The demo video explains it better than I can.
I was skeptical at first but ended up using it last month when I couldn't reach ESD about an overpayment notice. Actually got through to someone who could help me resolve it.
Bottom line: plan for 3 weeks minimum from filing to first payment. If it happens faster, great! If it takes longer, at least you were prepared financially.
Perfect summary! Thanks everyone for all the helpful information. I feel much better prepared now.
Good luck with your claim! Hope it goes smoothly for you.

dont forget you can appeal if they deny your claim! you have 30 days from the determination date to file an appeal if something goes wrong
Hopefully I won't need to worry about appeals, but good to know.

One thing to remember is that once you file, you'll need to do your weekly claims every week, usually on Sunday. Set a reminder on your phone so you don't forget. Missing a weekly claim can interrupt your benefits.

•Good tip about setting a reminder. I'll do that as soon as I finish filing the initial claim.
