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!

Good to know there's a backup plan if I can't reach them directly. Thanks for all the advice everyone!

You should be all set with regular UI. File online, keep up with your weekly claims, do your job searches, and you'll get through this fine. Washington ESD's system works for most people despite all the complaints you hear.

I feel a lot better about this now. Going to file my claim tonight.

Good luck! Remember the sooner you file, the sooner your waiting week starts counting.

For future reference, if you ever have issues reaching Washington ESD again, I had success with Claimyr. It's a service that helps you get through to an actual person instead of sitting on hold forever. Really saved me when I had a payment issue.

How much does something like that cost? Seems like it might be worth it if it actually works.

The value is definitely worth it when you're stuck in a situation where you can't get through. Check out their website at claimyr.com for more details.

glad we could help! the unemployment system is confusing enough without going in blind. good luck with your claim!

Don't forget that even after approval, you need to keep certifying your eligibility every week. Miss too many weekly claims and they might close your claim entirely.

0 coins

I think it's 4 consecutive weeks but don't quote me on that. Better to just file every week on time.

0 coins

It's actually 3 consecutive weeks in Washington. After that you have to reopen your claim which can cause delays.

The Washington ESD website has a FAQ section that explains all the different claim statuses if you want to understand what everything means. Helped me figure out my situation when I was confused.

0 coins

I'll check that out. Thanks for the suggestion!

Last thing - be completely honest about everything. ESD will find out if you lie about wages, work history, or reason for leaving jobs. It's better to have a delayed claim than a fraud investigation.

0 coins

Definitely planning to be completely honest. Not worth the risk.

Smart approach. Good luck with your claim!
