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 - save copies of everything you submit to ESD and keep records of all your interactions with them. If you end up needing to appeal or if there are any disputes later, having your own documentation is invaluable.
Will do! I'm starting a whole folder just for this unemployment claim process.
Smart move. Organization is your friend when dealing with any government agency.
Just to add one more success story to the mix - I got fired from my warehouse job for 'safety violations' (aka refusing to work in unsafe conditions) and not only did I get UI benefits, but the state also investigated my former employer. Sometimes standing up for yourself pays off in the long run.
That's inspiring! I hope my situation works out similarly. The safety issues at my job were really serious.
Don't let them push you around. Workers have rights for a reason. Good luck with your claim!

The key is just to get started. I know it seems overwhelming but once you get through the initial application, the weekly claims are pretty straightforward. You got this!
Thank you so much everyone! This has been incredibly helpful. I feel much more confident about tackling this now.
Happy to help! Come back and update us on how it goes.

If you have any issues with the Washington ESD website or need to speak with someone about your claim, I had good luck with that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier. Saved me hours of trying to get through on the phone.
I'll keep that in mind if I run into any problems. Hopefully the online filing process goes smoothly.

Update us on how the application goes! And seriously, if you hit any roadblocks trying to reach Washington ESD, remember that Claimyr option. Sometimes you just need to talk to a real person to get things sorted out, and their regular phone system makes that nearly impossible.

Good luck with everything! Losing a job is stressful enough without having to navigate all this bureaucracy. But once you get through the initial setup, the weekly claims become pretty routine. Hang in there!
