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!

Another vote for Claimyr if you need to talk to someone at Washington ESD about the appeal process. I used them when I was confused about deadlines and they connected me right away. Much less stressful than trying to navigate the phone system yourself.
I keep seeing mentions of this service. Might be worth it just for peace of mind.
Definitely worth it when you're dealing with something as important as your unemployment benefits.
Last piece of advice - submit your appeal as early as possible within that 30-day window. Don't wait until the last minute in case there are any technical issues with the submission.
Great point. I'm going to finish writing it this weekend and submit it by Monday.
Perfect! That gives you plenty of buffer time and shows Washington ESD you're taking it seriously.

Remember you can also appeal any determination if you disagree with Washington ESD's decision. You have 30 days from the date of any notice to file an appeal. Hopefully you won't need that information but it's good to know your rights.
Hopefully it won't come to that but thanks for letting me know the timeframe.
Most claims go through without issues, especially straightforward cases like yours. Just wanted you to be informed!
Last thing - when you do your weekly claims, be completely honest about any work you do or money you earn, even if it's just a few hours. Washington ESD will find out eventually and it's better to report it upfront than deal with an overpayment later.
Good point. I'll make sure to report any income accurately. Thanks again everyone for all the help!
You're welcome! Hope everything goes smoothly with your claim.

Just make sure you have all your employment information ready when you file your claim. They'll need your employer's name, address, dates of employment, and reason for separation. Having this information organized will speed up the process.
I have most of that information. My manager said they would confirm my employment if Washington ESD calls to verify.
That's good. Sometimes the verification process can delay benefits if employers don't respond quickly, so having cooperative former employers helps.
I wanted to follow up on the Claimyr service mentioned earlier. I was skeptical at first but used it last month when I couldn't get through to Washington ESD about my pending claim. It actually worked really well and saved me probably 6 hours of calling. The person I spoke with at Washington ESD was able to resolve my adjudication issue right away.
It's not free but it's way cheaper than losing days of work trying to get through to Washington ESD on your own. The time savings alone made it worth it for me.
I agree with this. I spent literally 8 hours over 3 days trying to get through to Washington ESD. Used Claimyr and got connected in under an hour. Sometimes you have to spend a little to save a lot of time and stress.

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.

I tried Claimyr last month when I couldn't get through to resolve an issue with my weekly claim. Worked exactly like they show in their demo video. Got connected to an actual Washington ESD rep in about 15 minutes instead of the usual 2+ hour wait times.

one last tip - take screenshots of everything! your weekly claim confirmations, your job search log, any correspondence from washington esd. if something goes wrong you'll need proof of what you submitted
