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!

If you run into any issues with your benefit calculation or need to speak with Washington ESD about discrepancies, I'd recommend checking out Claimyr. They made it so much easier for me to get through to someone who could explain my benefit amount properly.

I might need that if my calculation doesn't make sense. Thanks for the tip!

I was skeptical about using a service like that but honestly it saved me so much time and frustration. Washington ESD phone lines are impossible otherwise.

Bottom line - with your $55k salary you'll probably get somewhere between $700-900 per week depending on your exact wage pattern. That's decent but budget carefully since it won't last forever.

Good luck with your claim! Hope it goes smoothly for you.

Feel free to come back with questions once you file. This community is pretty helpful with Washington ESD issues.

Thank you for starting this thread, OP. I'm in a similar situation and all these resources are so helpful. It's good to know we're not alone in this struggle.

0 coins

I'm glad it's helping other people too. That makes me feel like sharing my situation was worth it.

This is what community is about - sharing resources and supporting each other through tough times.

One last thing - if you're comfortable with it, consider telling friends and family about your situation. I was embarrassed to admit I was struggling, but when I finally did, people were incredibly generous with inviting me over for dinner or bringing me groceries they weren't going to use.

People want to help, they just don't always know how. Giving them specific ways to support you makes it easier for everyone.

0 coins

Plus, you'd do the same for them if the situation were reversed, right? Let people be generous.

0 coins

just make sure you answer all the questions honestly and completely. leaving stuff blank or being vague will definitely slow things down

0 coins

Good point. I'll double-check everything before submitting.

Final advice: Keep copies of everything you submit, including screenshots of your completed application. If there are any issues later, you'll need that documentation to resolve disputes or appeals.

0 coins

Great advice, thank you! I feel much better prepared now.

Screenshots saved me when Washington ESD claimed I never submitted certain information. Always keep records.

One last tip - set up direct deposit when you file your claim. Paper checks take forever and can get lost in the mail. Direct deposit usually hits your account within 1-2 business days.

Will definitely set up direct deposit. Thanks for thinking of that detail!

Final reminder that if you're still struggling to reach Washington ESD by phone, Claimyr has been helping people get through consistently. Worth trying if you've been stuck in phone hell for weeks.

Already used them and it was a game changer - finally got real answers instead of automated messages

might give this a shot if my situation doesn't improve by next week

System definitely needs reform but knowing how to work within it helps. Good luck to everyone still fighting for their benefits.

Thanks everyone for the advice and support. This thread has been more helpful than weeks of trying to figure it out alone
