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!

One more thing - make sure you keep filing your weekly claims even while this is being adjudicated. If you win the appeal, you'll get back pay for all the weeks you filed. If you don't file, you lose those weeks even if you win.
Yes I'm still filing every week. Washington ESD told me to keep doing that even though I'm not getting paid yet.
Perfect! A lot of people stop filing thinking there's no point, but that's a costly mistake.
Companies also contest claims because they know most people won't fight back due to time, stress, or not knowing the process. Don't let them count on your giving up. You have rights and documentation on your side.
That makes me even more determined to fight this. I'm not going to let them get away with lying.

One last tip - if you have direct deposit set up, benefits usually show up Wednesday mornings. If you're getting a debit card, it takes longer to arrive by mail.
Definitely going with direct deposit then. I need the money as soon as possible.
Smart choice. The debit card thing is a pain and there are fees involved too.
Good luck with your application! The process seems overwhelming at first but once you get through the initial filing, the weekly claims become routine. You've got this!
Thank you everyone for all the helpful advice! I feel much more confident about tackling this now.
We've all been there. Don't hesitate to ask if you run into problems - this community is pretty helpful with unemployment questions.

Just want to echo what others said about Claimyr - used them last month when I couldn't get through about my overpayment issue. Really helpful for actually reaching a human at Washington ESD when you need answers quickly.

If you do run into issues after applying, don't give up. Sometimes there are adjudication delays or other problems that can be resolved if you can get through to someone at Washington ESD.
Good to know there are options for getting help when you need it.

For anyone still having trouble reaching Washington ESD about duration questions, I had success using that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier. Got through to an agent who explained exactly how my weeks were calculated.

•Did they charge you for that service?

•There's a fee but it was worth it to get accurate info directly from an agent instead of guessing. Much better than spending days trying to call.

Bottom line - check your monetary determination for the exact number, but plan for up to 26 weeks. Keep filing weekly, do your job searches, and stay organized. The system works if you follow the rules.
