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!

Update us on what happens when you apply! I'm in a similar situation and curious how it works out for you.

Will do! Thanks everyone for all the helpful info. I'm going to gather my employment records and apply this week.

Good luck! The worst thing that can happen is they say no, but at least you'll know for sure. And if you do qualify, every week you wait to apply is a week of benefits you're missing out on.

0 coins

Very true. I should stop procrastinating and just do it. Thanks for the motivation!

0 coins

Exactly - there's no penalty for applying and finding out you don't qualify, but there is a cost to waiting if you do qualify.

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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

hope everything works out! getting fired sucks but at least washington has decent unemployment benefits compared to some states

0 coins

Yeah, I'm grateful we have this safety net. Now I just need to get approved and find a new job.

0 coins

One final tip - if your claim gets approved, the first payment might take a week or two after your first weekly claim. Don't panic if it doesn't show up immediately.

Good to know so I don't freak out if it takes a while. Thanks again everyone for all the advice and support!
