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!

The good news is once you get that first payment, the rest usually come on schedule. It's just that initial processing time that's unpredictable. Hang in there - it will come through.
Thanks for the encouragement! I'm trying to stay patient but bills don't wait unfortunately.
I totally understand the stress. Maybe contact your creditors to explain the situation if you need to buy some time on payments.
UPDATE: Just wanted to let everyone know my payment finally came through this morning! Took exactly 12 business days from my first weekly claim filing. Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences and advice. For anyone still waiting - don't give up, it does eventually come through!
Great news! Thanks for updating us - it helps others know what to expect.
That's awesome! Gives me hope that mine will come through soon too.

I wish Washington ESD would explain this stuff better on their website. It's all so confusing.
Agreed! Half the time I can't even find the information I need on their site. The phone system is even worse.
Right? I've wasted so much time trying to figure out basic stuff like this.
Just want to add that if you're worried about running out of benefits, make sure you're keeping good records of your job search activities. Washington ESD can ask for proof at any time.
Good point! I've been keeping a log of all my applications and contacts.
Smart - that's exactly what you should be doing!

Bottom line: plan for 26 weeks maximum, use that time wisely, and don't count on any extensions. The job market is competitive so the earlier you start seriously looking, the better your chances of finding something before your benefits run out.
This whole thread has been really helpful. Thanks everyone for the advice and information!
Glad it helped! Good luck with your job search.
One more thing - if you do need to contact Washington ESD with questions about your specific benefit duration or circumstances, that Claimyr service mentioned earlier really does work well. I used it last month when I had questions about my claim status and got through to an agent in just a few minutes instead of waiting hours on hold.
Good to hear another success story with that. I'll definitely keep it in mind if I need to call.
Yeah, it's at claimyr.com if you need it. Much less stressful than trying to navigate the phone system yourself.

Update on my situation - I finally got through to someone at Washington ESD using that Claimyr service and they explained that my case is still under review. At least now I know what's happening instead of just waiting and wondering. The agent said I should hear something within the next week.
