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!

Update on using that Claimyr service - finally got through to Washington ESD and they told me my adjudication should be resolved within the next week. Sometimes you just need to talk to an actual person to get real information instead of guessing what's happening.
That's great news! Maybe I should try calling through that service too. At least then I'd know what's actually happening with my claim.
Definitely worth it for peace of mind. Even if they can't speed up the process, at least you know where things stand.
Bottom line - lower unemployment rates shouldn't affect whether you get approved if you legitimately qualify. The adjudication process might seem more thorough, but that's probably just because they have more time to review cases properly rather than rushing through everything.
That actually makes me feel better about the thorough review. Better to get it right the first time than have problems later.
Exactly the right attitude. A thorough review protects both you and the system in the long run.

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.

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.

I'm on week 22 and starting to panic about what happens when my benefits run out. The job market in my field is still pretty tough. Anyone have advice for making the most of the last few weeks?

•I'll check them out. At this point I'm willing to consider career changes if it means steady employment.

•Also might be worth using Claimyr to speak with Washington ESD about any retraining programs or resources they might have available. Sometimes there are programs that aren't well-publicized.

Thank you everyone for all this information! I feel much better understanding that I have up to 26 weeks to work with. That should be enough time to find something good rather than just taking the first job that comes along.

•That's the right attitude. Use the time wisely but don't wait too long to start seriously job hunting. The requirements are there for a reason.
