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!

Whatever you do, don't stop filing your weekly claims while you're trying to reach them. Even if your main claim has issues, you need to keep filing to avoid additional problems.
Yeah I've been keeping up with those. At least that part of the system works most of the time
Good advice. I made that mistake early on and it created even more issues to resolve
Final update: I used Claimyr this morning and got through to Washington ESD in 25 minutes. The agent was able to see exactly what was wrong with my claim (some kind of identity verification flag that wasn't showing up properly on my end) and cleared it up immediately. My next payment should process normally. Definitely worth the fee to avoid the phone nightmare. Thanks everyone for the advice!
So happy you got it resolved! I might have to try Claimyr too if my issue doesn't get sorted out soon
Thanks for the update! It's nice to hear a success story for once

One more thing - if you're ever unsure about your filing or have questions, that Claimyr service can help you get connected to Washington ESD directly. I used it when I had issues with my claim timing and it was super helpful.
I might need to try that. I've been trying to call Washington ESD for weeks about some questions.
Yeah the regular phone lines are brutal. This made it much easier to actually talk to someone.

if you run into any technical issues with the website or your account gets locked definitely try that claimyr thing people mentioned. i spent days trying to reset my password and couldn't get through to tech support
Good to know there are backup options if the normal channels don't work.
Exactly - having alternatives when the regular system fails you is crucial. The last thing you want is to miss filing your weekly claim because of technical problems.
Final reminder - file your claim THIS WEEK if possible. Every week you delay is a week of potential benefits you're giving up. The sooner you start the process, the sooner you'll start receiving help.
Good luck with your claim! Feel free to come back and ask questions if you run into any issues during the process.
You've got this! The unemployment system exists to help people in exactly your situation.

I'm curious about the timeline here. How quickly do you have to respond to a job offer? I got one on Friday afternoon and they want an answer by Monday morning.
That's a pretty tight timeline. You should be able to ask for a few days to consider, especially if you need time to evaluate whether it meets Washington ESD's suitability criteria.
I asked for until Wednesday and they agreed. Gives me time to think it through properly.
Final thought - whatever you decide, stick with it and be prepared to explain your reasoning. Washington ESD reviews these cases pretty thoroughly so having a clear, documented rationale is important.
Thanks everyone for all the advice. I feel much more informed about my options now.
Good luck with whatever you decide! The unemployment system is stressful enough without having to worry about every decision.

honestly the hardest part isnt figuring out the benefit amount, its actually getting through to someone at ESD when you have problems. I spent literally 40+ hours on the phone over 2 weeks trying to resolve an issue with my claim. Finally got through using that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier - totally worth it to avoid the phone hell

Bottom line: with your income level, expect somewhere in the $350-450 range per week. File your claim ASAP, be completely honest and accurate on your application, keep detailed job search records, and be patient with the process. It's frustrating but most people do eventually get their benefits if they qualify.
