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!

honestly this whole thread is making me think twice about filing for unemployment in the future. seems like such a hassle even when you dont want it anymore
Don't let this discourage you from filing if you actually need benefits. The system exists to help people. This is just an unusual situation where someone wants to withdraw.
Yeah, I don't want to scare anyone away from using unemployment benefits if they need them. I just have a very specific situation with my job search.
Thanks everyone for all the advice! I think I'm going to call Washington ESD (probably through Claimyr since everyone says it works) and request formal withdrawal. I'd rather have the peace of mind and clear documentation than worry about it affecting my job search.
Let us know how it goes! I'm planning to withdraw mine too once I start my new job next week.
Make sure to ask about any impact on future eligibility when you call. The agent should be able to explain how withdrawal affects your wage credits and benefit year.

This thread has been super helpful! I'm in a similar situation and was completely lost about where to start. Going to bookmark this and start gathering my paperwork.
Glad it helped! I feel much more confident about applying now too.
Good luck to both of you. Feel free to ask if you run into any specific issues during the process.

Just remember there's usually a one week waiting period before you start receiving benefits, so plan accordingly for your first week.
Good point! I forgot about the waiting week. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks everyone for all the helpful information! I feel much more confident about filing now. I'm going to apply online tomorrow and make sure I have all my employment information ready. Hopefully it goes smoothly but it's good to know there are options like Claimyr if I need help reaching someone at Washington ESD.
You're welcome! Feel free to come back and ask if you run into any issues during the process.
Good luck with your claim! Remember to file your weekly claims on time once you're approved.

For anyone reading this later - definitely use Claimyr if you need to talk to Washington ESD and can't get through on the phone. I was skeptical at first but it really works. Saved me hours of frustration trying to reach someone about my claim status.
