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!

Remember you have to do your weekly claims too once you file. Don't let that slip or you could lose benefits even if your employer isn't affected.
Good point. The weekly claims are just as important as the initial filing.

I went through something similar and the key is just being honest and upfront with Washington ESD about everything. They're more understanding than people think when you're dealing with legitimate circumstances.
Thanks for sharing that. It helps to hear from people who've been through it.
Bottom line - wait until you're medically cleared, document everything, and then file your claim. Washington ESD should approve it once you meet the able and available requirement. Good luck!
Thank you everyone for all the advice. I feel much more prepared now for when the time comes to apply.
Remember about Claimyr if you need help getting through to Washington ESD when you do apply. Makes the whole process much less stressful.

update us when you get through, curious to hear what they say about the adjudication timeline
Will do! Hopefully I'll have good news to share soon.
Remember that even if your initial claim is delayed, you should still file your weekly claims to protect your benefits. Don't skip weeks just because you're in adjudication.
I've been filing them but it's frustrating to keep doing it when nothing seems to be happening. Good to know I should keep it up though.

Thank you everyone for all the advice and support! I'm feeling much more confident about the hearing now. I'll update this thread after it's over to let you know how it went. Wish me luck!
Definitely update us! And remember - stay calm, stick to the facts, and you'll do fine.
Rooting for you! The fact that multiple people were laid off at the same time really helps your case.
I just saw this thread and wanted to add that I used Claimyr too when I was preparing for my hearing. Being able to actually talk to a Washington ESD agent beforehand helped me understand exactly what documents I needed to bring. Made all the difference in my case.
That's three people now who have mentioned that service! Definitely seems like it could be helpful for getting those last-minute questions answered.
Yeah, especially when you can't get through on the regular phone lines. The peace of mind was worth it for me.
The Boss
The part-time work might also help you build skills or connections that lead to full-time work. That's what happened to me - started part-time at a company and they hired me full-time after 2 months when they saw my work.

•Same thing happened to me. Part-time job turned into the best full-time job I've ever had.

Just make sure the part-time job doesn't interfere with any job interviews or opportunities for full-time work. You're still supposed to be actively seeking full-time employment even while working part-time.

•Flexibility is key. Don't let the part-time job become an excuse to stop looking for full-time work.
