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!

How long did it take for you to get your first payment?

0 coins

about 3 weeks after I filed, and that was with no issues on my claim. some people wait much longer if their claim goes into adjudication

I'm curious about the quarterly earnings thing. If I worked in multiple states, do earnings from other states count toward Washington's requirements?

0 coins

Sounds like I'd definitely need to call them then. Ugh, back to the phone system nightmare.

0 coins

That's exactly the kind of situation where Claimyr might be worth it. Complex questions like interstate claims really need to be handled by talking to an actual person, not trying to figure it out through their website.

0 coins

Just wanted to add that if you're currently on unemployment, make sure you're meeting all your requirements. Don't let worries about the future derail your current claim.

0 coins

Good reminder. I need to log my job searches for this week.

0 coins

Same here. It's easy to get distracted by big picture stuff and forget about the weekly requirements.

0 coins

My take: prepare for change but don't panic. Keep your skills current, stay flexible, and remember that humans have adapted to technological disruption before.

0 coins

Well said. That's basically what I'm taking away from this whole discussion.

0 coins

Exactly. Adaptation and continuous learning are key to navigating any economic transition.

For what it's worth, I've found Washington ESD's payment system to be more reliable than their phone system. Payments come on time way more often than I can get someone on the phone.

0 coins

So true! Getting paid is consistent, getting help is nearly impossible.

0 coins

That's why services like Claimyr exist - to bridge that gap when you actually need to talk to someone.

0 coins

Bottom line: file your weekly claim by Saturday, expect payment Tuesday/Wednesday, and don't panic if it's a day or two late due to holidays or bank processing.

0 coins

Perfect summary! Thanks for all the help everyone. I feel much better about what to expect.

0 coins

The Washington ESD payment system is pretty reliable once you get used to it. Tuesday/Wednesday is the norm, just make sure you're filing correctly and meeting all requirements.

0 coins

Appreciate all the help everyone - I feel much more confident about what to expect now.

Just wanted to add that if you ever need to talk to someone at Washington ESD about payment issues, that Claimyr thing is legit. Saved me so much time and frustration trying to get through on the phone normally.

0 coins

Thanks - I'll definitely keep that in mind if I run into any issues with my payments.

0 coins

Final thought - if you need to speak with Washington ESD during the process and can't get through on your own, that Claimyr service at claimyr.com really does work. Sometimes you just need to talk to a human to get things sorted out.

0 coins

Used them twice now and both times got connected within 15 minutes. Way better than spending all day redialing.

0 coins

Thanks everyone for all the help! I feel much more confident about filing now.

0 coins

Good luck with your claim! Remember that the first few weeks can feel overwhelming but once you get into the routine of weekly filings and job searching, it becomes pretty manageable. You've got this!
