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!

I used claimyr when my claim got stuck in adjudication hell. The Washington ESD agent explained my case had been sitting unassigned for weeks. Got it resolved the same day I finally talked to someone.
That's exactly what I'm worried about - getting stuck in the system with no way to get help.
That's why services like Claimyr exist. The regular phone system is basically broken but if you can actually talk to someone most issues get resolved quickly.
Last piece of advice - be patient but persistent. The system is frustrating but most people do eventually get their benefits. Just make sure you keep filing weekly claims no matter what happens with your initial application.
You're welcome! Don't hesitate to ask if you run into any issues during the process. We've all been there.
Good luck! Remember to file those weekly claims religiously - that's the most important thing to remember.

UPDATE: I just got my determination letter today! Approved for $547 per week. The website still shows confusing status but the letter has all the clear information. Hang in there OP, yours should come soon!
Congrats! That gives me hope. How long did it take from when you filed to getting the letter?
It was exactly 16 days from when I submitted my initial claim to getting the determination letter.

One thing that helped me was using Claimyr when I had questions about my benefit calculation. Instead of spending hours trying to get through to Washington ESD, they connected me with an agent who walked through exactly how my amount was calculated and confirmed it was correct.
Seems like a lot of people have found that service helpful.
It's definitely worth it if you're having trouble reaching them through normal channels. The peace of mind alone is valuable.
Based on your salary of $52k, you're probably looking at somewhere between $500-700 weekly, assuming your earnings were consistent. The exact amount depends on how your wages were distributed across quarters.
That range seems reasonable based on what everyone else has shared. Thanks for all the helpful information!

File immediately and don't look back. I've been through this process twice and waiting never helps anyone.
Appreciate everyone's advice. Filing tonight for sure.

Just want to echo what others said about documentation. I see too many people in these situations who wait too long to start keeping records. Start today, even if you're not sure you're going to quit yet.

•Exactly. And remember to back up any digital records somewhere safe in case you lose access to work systems.
