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!

PSA: Make sure you have your routing and account numbers handy before starting any transfer process. Seems obvious but I got halfway through and realized I didn't know my routing number off the top of my head.
Ha! I would definitely do that. Better write those numbers down now before I forget.
One more plug for getting through to ESD directly if you need to make account changes - Claimyr really is the way to go when the phone lines are jammed. Worth every penny to avoid the phone tree nightmare.
Agreed, used them last month when I couldn't get through about my job search requirements. Super helpful.

Just want to add that if you do end up needing to contact Washington ESD with questions, I had success with that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier. Got through on my first try and the agent was really helpful explaining my options. Sometimes it's worth paying a little to avoid the phone tag nightmare.
I might try that. I've wasted so much time trying to get through on my own.
Same here - used Claimyr for a different issue and it was way less stressful than the regular phone system.
Bottom line - you need to pick one path and stick with it until your situation changes. Trying to collect multiple benefits you're not entitled to will only create bigger problems down the road. Get proper advice for your specific situation before making any applications.
You're absolutely right. I think I need to talk to both a workers comp specialist and Washington ESD before making any decisions. Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice!
Good plan. Taking time to understand your options upfront will save you headaches later. Hope your back heals quickly!

hang in there it sucks but most claims do get approved eventually unless there's a real problem with eligibility
Thanks everyone for the support and advice. I'll keep checking my account and filing weekly claims. Hopefully I hear something soon.

Good luck OP! Hope your claim goes through without any problems. This community is great for support when dealing with Washington ESD issues.
Thank you! I'll definitely come back and update on how it goes.

The maximum of $999 is definitely correct for 2025. I just checked the official Washington ESD benefit chart and that's what it shows. Good luck with your claim!

•No problem! The unemployment system can be confusing but once you understand the basics it's not too bad.

Hope this thread helped answer your question about the maximum benefit amount. $999 per week is the current max, but your actual amount will depend on your previous earnings. Best of luck with your claim process!
