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!

I keep seeing people mention WorkSourceWA. Is that a separate account I need to create or is it connected to my unemployment claim?
It's a separate system but you're required to register there. It's where you'll do your job search activities and they can share information with Washington ESD about your compliance.
The WorkSourceWA website is worksourcewa.com if you need to register. Pretty straightforward process.
Just want to add - if you have any issues with your claim or need to appeal a decision, you have limited time to do that too. Don't assume everything will work out automatically.
Usually 30 days from the date of the decision. The appeal instructions should be in any determination letter you receive.
And if you need help understanding a decision or talking through an appeal, that's another situation where Claimyr can help you get through to Washington ESD to get real answers.

washington esd really needs to make this information clearer on their website. I had to dig through so many pages just to find the basic requirements
Agreed! The website is not user-friendly at all. Forums like this are honestly more helpful than the official resources sometimes.
Seriously! I learned more from this thread than I did from an hour of reading their website.
One last tip - keep detailed records of everything from day one. Your work search log, any correspondence with Washington ESD, dates you filed claims, everything. You'll thank yourself later if any issues come up.
Good advice! I'll start a folder right now to keep track of everything.
Yes! I had to appeal a decision and having all my documentation organized made the process so much smoother.

This thread has been super helpful! I'm bookmarking it for reference. The unemployment system seems complicated but manageable if you stay organized.
Agreed! I feel much more confident about starting this process now. Thanks everyone!

Don't forget to report any work you do, even small part-time jobs or gig work. Washington ESD can reduce your benefits instead of cutting you off entirely if you earn a little money, but you have to report it honestly.
What happens if I forget to report some work? Can I go back and fix it?
You can usually call and make corrections, but it's much easier to just report everything accurately from the start. Honesty is always the best policy with Washington ESD.
In my experience, if there are no red flags with your claim, you should see your first payment within 3 weeks of filing. The system works pretty well when everything is straightforward.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful info! Feeling much better about the process now.
Good luck with your claim! Hope it processes smoothly and quickly.

Good luck with your claim! The process can be confusing at first but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty straightforward. Just stay on top of your weekly claims and job search requirements.
