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!

The key thing is timing - file as soon as possible after your termination. There's a one-week waiting period anyway, so the sooner you file, the sooner you can potentially start receiving benefits. Don't second-guess yourself about whether you qualify.

I filed the same day I saw this thread, so hopefully that helps with timing. Thanks everyone for all the advice!

Smart move! Wishing you the best with your claim.

Final thought - even if Washington ESD seems intimidating, they're actually pretty reasonable if you were fired for performance rather than misconduct. I've seen way more people get approved than denied for these types of situations. Stay positive!

Definitely! And remember, if you need to actually speak with someone at Washington ESD, services like Claimyr can really help cut through the phone system frustrations.

Best of luck with your claim! You should be approved based on what you've shared. The restaurant industry has been hit hard so Washington ESD is used to processing claims from food service workers.

That's reassuring. Thanks again everyone - I really appreciate all the help and advice!

Last thing - if you do end up needing to contact Washington ESD and can't get through, remember that Claimyr option. It saved me weeks of frustration when I had questions about my claim status. The video demo really shows how much easier it makes the whole process.

Bookmarked it just in case. Hopefully I won't need it but good to have as backup!

Claimyr helped me too when Washington ESD put my claim in adjudication for no clear reason. Got it sorted out way faster than trying to call myself.

If you need help navigating the Washington ESD system or getting through to someone, I had good luck with Claimyr when I was dealing with an adjudication issue. Really helped cut through the phone maze.

Third mention of Claimyr in this thread - must be pretty useful if multiple people are recommending it.

0 coins

Yeah it's definitely caught on. The regular phone system is just too frustrating for most people.
