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!

Has anyone had luck with Claimyr for getting through to discuss benefit extensions or special circumstances? My situation is complicated and I really need to talk to someone at Washington ESD about potentially qualifying for additional weeks.
It works for any type of call where you need to reach an agent. Won't change the rules about extensions, but at least you'll get to talk to someone who can explain your specific situation.
That's all I need - just want someone to review my case properly. Thanks for the recommendation.
Bottom line: 26 weeks maximum for regular UI in Washington, no current extensions available, but not everyone qualifies for the full 26 weeks. Check your monetary determination for your specific entitlement and plan your job search accordingly. And keep filing weekly even if you think you might not qualify - better safe than sorry.
Perfect summary, thank you! This thread has been really helpful for understanding the time limits.
Agreed, lots of good info here. Bookmarking this for future reference.

i made the mistake of not reporting cash work early in my claim and when i finally called to ask about it the agent told me i needed to report it immediately and they'd adjust my past claims. it was scary but they didn't penalize me since i self-reported. honesty really is the best policy here
Wait how did you finally get through to an agent? I've been trying for weeks
honestly i used that claimyr thing after seeing it mentioned here a few times. worked way better than trying to call directly
The bottom line is this: report ALL work, even cash jobs. Washington ESD has multiple ways to verify your earnings and the penalties for fraud are severe. But don't panic - most people who report work still receive partial benefits and stay in good standing with the system.
Thanks everyone for all the advice. I'm definitely going to report the work when I file my weekly claim this week. Better to be honest and get reduced benefits than risk fraud charges.
You're making the right choice. Good luck with everything!

mine took forever because i had worked in oregon the year before and they had to coordinate between states. if you've only worked in washington recently you should be much faster
Good to know! I've only worked in Washington so that shouldn't be an issue for me.
Interstate claims are definitely more complicated. Had the same issue when I moved from California.
I think the key is just being patient but also staying on top of it. Check your account regularly, file your weekly claims, and don't be afraid to call if something seems stuck. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Yeah I'm trying to find the balance between being patient and being proactive. Don't want to be annoying but also don't want to get forgotten in the system.
Exactly. After 4-5 weeks I'd definitely start making calls or looking into services like that Claimyr thing to get answers.

I used Claimyr last month when I couldn't get through to Washington ESD about my work history questions. The agent I spoke with was able to look up my exact wage records and confirm I met the requirements. Saved me a lot of stress and guessing.

Good luck with your application! The work history part is usually the easy part compared to all the other hoops they make you jump through.

•You'll probably be fine with 8 months of work at decent wages. Just make sure you have all your paperwork ready.
