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!

Best of luck with your claim! You should be approved based on what you've shared. The restaurant industry has been hit hard so Washington ESD is used to processing claims from food service workers.
That's reassuring. Thanks again everyone - I really appreciate all the help and advice!

For anyone still struggling to reach Washington ESD by phone, I finally got through using Claimyr after weeks of trying on my own. The service connected me directly to an agent who was able to explain exactly why my claim was delayed and what additional information they needed. Worth checking out their website at claimyr.com if you're stuck like I was.
Did the agent give you a timeline for when your claim would be processed after you provided the additional information?
They said 2-3 weeks once I submitted the documents they needed. Much better than the 'indefinite wait' I was dealing with before.
Just got off the phone with Washington ESD (finally!) and the agent confirmed they're seeing record numbers of claims. She said they're working overtime and weekends but still can't keep up with demand. At least they're aware of the problem and trying to address it.
I used a callback service that kept trying for me automatically. Took about 3 hours but eventually connected.
Which callback service did you use? I'm desperate at this point.

If you need help navigating the Washington ESD system or getting through to someone, I had good luck with Claimyr when I was dealing with an adjudication issue. Really helped cut through the phone maze.
Third mention of Claimyr in this thread - must be pretty useful if multiple people are recommending it.
Yeah it's definitely caught on. The regular phone system is just too frustrating for most people.

•That's not good advice. Getting it wrong initially can delay benefits for weeks or even result in disqualification.

Thanks everyone for all the advice! I'm going to file tomorrow and select 'laid off' since that aligns with what my supervisor told me about budget cuts and position elimination. I feel much more confident now about my choice.
