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!

That's good to know! I was wondering about that since I was approved for benefits going back to when I first filed.

Good luck with everything! The Washington ESD system has its problems but the payments are consistent once you're in the routine. Just stay on top of your weekly filings.

Just wanted to follow up on the Claimyr thing - I used it again recently when I had questions about my work search requirements and got connected within minutes. Really saves the headache of trying to call Washington ESD directly.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread! I feel much more confident about filing my claim now. Going to get started on it right after I gather all my employment documentation.

Good luck! Remember to file your weekly claims on time every week once you get started.

0 coins

Yes, and don't skip weeks even if you think you might not be eligible that week. It's better to file and report any issues than to miss filing altogether.

This has been such a helpful discussion. I wish I had found this information when I first lost my job - would have saved me a lot of stress and confusion!

Same here! The unemployment system can be so overwhelming when you're already dealing with job loss stress.

0 coins

At least we can help others avoid the same confusion. Paying it forward!

0 coins

It is overwhelming but you'll get through it. Just make sure to file your weekly claims on time and keep looking for work. The money will help bridge the gap until you find something new.

And remember, even if your initial benefit amount seems low, there might be errors in your wage records that can be corrected. Don't just accept the first determination if something seems wrong.

For anyone reading this later - the advice here is solid. File immediately, be honest, keep good records, and don't be afraid to use services like Claimyr if you need help reaching ESD. The unemployment system exists to help people in tough situations.
