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!

Random question but does anyone know if the Washington ESD building downtown is the same one they used in 1982? Went there last week and it definitely looks old enough.
Wait, you can actually go there in person? I thought everything was online now.
You can go but they barely help with anything. Told me to call the phone number like everyone else.
The real lesson from 1982 is that Washington's economy is vulnerable to national recessions because we're so dependent on a few major industries. Boeing, Microsoft, Amazon - if any of those tank we're in trouble.
At least we're more diversified now than in 82. Back then it was basically Boeing, lumber, and agriculture.
True but tech companies can lay off thousands at once now. In 82 the layoffs were more gradual.

Last thing I'll add - keep good records of your job search activities from day one. Washington ESD can audit your job search log at any time, and you need to show you're actively looking for work.
Good reminder. I'll start keeping track of all my applications.
WorkSourceWA is a good place to document your job search activities too.

One last tip - if you do end up needing to contact Washington ESD for any reason after filing, I can't recommend Claimyr enough. Before I found them I literally tried calling for 3 weeks straight and never got through. Their system actually works.
How much does something like that cost?
Honestly worth whatever it costs when you're trying to sort out benefit issues and can't get through any other way. Check out their demo video to see how it works.

Just remember - if you run into any issues with your claim, don't wait around hoping it fixes itself. Get help early, whether that's calling Washington ESD directly or using something like Claimyr to get through to them. Problems tend to snowball if you ignore them.
Good advice. I'll make sure to stay on top of things and get help if I need it.

Don't forget that your total benefit duration (how many weeks you can collect) is based on all your wages in the base period, not just the highest quarter. So even lower-earning quarters matter for something.

•How many weeks do most people get?

•Usually 26 weeks max, but it depends on your total base period wages compared to your weekly benefit amount.

Final tip: Keep all your pay stubs and tax documents handy in case Washington ESD needs to verify your wages later. Sometimes employers report wages incorrectly and you'll need proof of what you actually earned.

•Yeah, wage verification issues are another common reason people need to call Washington ESD. Having documentation ready makes those conversations much easier.
