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 last tip - when you do talk to Washington ESD, make sure to ask about any programs you might qualify for. Sometimes they know about additional resources that aren't obvious from the website.
Good advice. I'll definitely ask when I call to file my claim.
And if you have trouble getting through, seriously consider that Claimyr service. Made my life so much easier when dealing with Washington ESD.
This has been one of the most helpful threads I've read about Washington ESD. Usually these discussions just turn into people complaining about the system.
Happy to help! These programs can be confusing but once you understand the basics it's much easier to navigate.
Totally agree. Now I feel prepared to file my claim with confidence.

One more thing - if you do end up needing to call Washington ESD for any reason during this process, that Claimyr service really is a game changer. I probably would have waited months longer without it because I could never get through the regular way.
I'll definitely keep that in mind if I run into issues. Thanks for sharing your experience with it.

Final thought - don't stress too much about the exact calculation. Washington ESD will determine your benefit amount when you file your claim. The important thing is to get your application submitted as soon as possible.
Just remember that if your claim gets stuck in adjudication or you have issues, that Claimyr service can help you reach someone at Washington ESD to resolve problems quickly. Sometimes you need to talk to a real person to get things sorted out.

Mine got approved at exactly the 3 week mark. Got the determination letter on a Tuesday and first payment hit my account that Thursday. Hang in there!
That's encouraging! Hopefully mine follows a similar timeline.
Same here, 3 weeks almost to the day. Must be their internal processing schedule.
If you need to speak with someone urgently about your claim status, I actually had success with that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier. Worth checking out their demo video to see if it would help your situation. Sometimes you just need a real person to look at your account.
I might have to try that if I don't hear something soon. Thanks for the recommendation.
Let us know how it goes if you do try it. Always looking for ways to actually reach Washington ESD.

One last thing - if you do get approved, your benefits will be based on your earnings over the past year, not just your last job. So don't worry if your final paycheck was smaller than usual.

You should also know that even if your employer contests your claim, you can still receive benefits while the appeal process is going on. You just might have to pay them back if the appeal doesn't go your way.

•That's really helpful to know. At least I won't be without income while they sort it out.

•Yeah, they call it 'payment pending appeal' or something like that. Better than waiting months with no income.
