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!

Absolutely. I'm treating unemployment as a temporary bridge while I find my next job. Thanks to everyone who responded - this has been so helpful!

One more tip - keep detailed records of your work schedule and earnings. Take screenshots of your timesheets or pay stubs. If there's ever a question about your claim, having documentation makes everything easier. I learned this when they asked me to verify my earnings from 6 months ago.
Good advice! I'll start keeping better records of everything.
yes definitely do this! i wish someone had told me that when i started my claim
Update: I used that Claimyr service someone mentioned and actually got through to a Washington ESD agent within an hour. They were able to explain my claim status and help me understand what documentation they needed. Honestly worth it after weeks of trying to call on my own.
Really? That actually worked? I'm so desperate I might try it too.
Yeah, I was skeptical but it did work. The agent was helpful and knowledgeable. Sometimes you just need to talk to a real person to get answers.

This whole thread convinced me to call Washington ESD and set up withholding immediately. After reading about that Claimyr service, I decided to try it since I've never been able to get through to ESD before. Worked great - got connected to an agent who helped me set up the 10% federal withholding in just a few minutes. Much better than the hours I've wasted trying to call ESD directly.
Glad to hear another success story with getting through to ESD! I think I'm going to have to look into that service too.
Same here, the regular ESD phone number is basically useless with how busy they always are.
thanks everyone for all the helpful info in this thread! feel much better prepared for tax season now
You're welcome! These kinds of questions help everyone learn something new about the unemployment system.
Agreed, this thread has been incredibly helpful. Wish I had known about the tax implications from the beginning but better late than never!

Just want to confirm what others said - I file Sunday morning, payment shows up Wednesday every single week. Very reliable once you know the pattern.

One more thing - if you ever have payment issues, document everything. Washington ESD sometimes needs proof of filing dates and stuff like that.
