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!

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.

Also worth mentioning - if you find work before your benefits run out, you still need to report it on your weekly claim. Don't just stop filing claims without properly closing them out.
What happens if you just stop filing without reporting that you found work?
It can cause issues later if you need to file again. Better to properly close out your claim by reporting your return to work.
Good luck with your claim! The process is definitely stressful but most people do get through it eventually. Just take it one step at a time and don't hesitate to ask for help when you need it.
Thank you everyone! I feel much more prepared to start this process now. Going to file my initial claim this weekend.
And remember, if you can't get through to Washington ESD when you need help, Claimyr is there as a backup option. Sometimes you just need to talk to a real person.

Another thing - make sure your WorkSource registration is complete and up to date. They require you to be registered with WorkSource WA to receive benefits. Some people overlook this step.
I think I registered but I should double-check. Thanks for the reminder!
Better safe than sorry. It's a simple step but can hold up your whole claim if not done properly.
Hang in there! The first claim is always the most stressful because you don't know what to expect. Once you get into the routine of filing weekly claims and doing your job search, it becomes much more manageable. You've got this!
Thank you for the encouragement! This forum has been incredibly helpful for my first-timer anxiety.
We've all been there. The unemployment community is pretty supportive once you find the right resources.

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.
