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!

Don't stress too much about it. Most claims go through without major issues. Just keep doing your weekly claims and checking your account. You should see movement within the next week or two.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful responses. I feel a lot better about the timeline now.

Don't forget to check if your state has any additional unemployment programs beyond the federal ones. Some states have their own supplemental programs for self-employed workers.
I'll look into that too. At this point I'm checking every possible option.
Washington has been pretty good about trying to help workers during tough times, so there might be something available.

UPDATE: My payment finally came through this morning! Turns out it was just a processing delay like some of you said. Thanks everyone for the advice and reassurance. Definitely saving that Claimyr info for future reference though since calling Washington ESD directly seems like a nightmare.
glad it worked out! these delays are stressful but usually resolve themselves
So happy it worked out! And yeah, definitely keep Claimyr in mind for future issues. Way less stressful than trying to navigate the phone system yourself.

honestly the waiting period is torture when you're broke, but try to use the time productively - update your resume, apply for jobs, maybe take some online courses
You're right, I should try to stay productive instead of just constantly checking my claim status. Any recommendations for free online courses?
WorkSource Washington has some free resources, and there are tons of free courses on LinkedIn Learning if your local library gives you access
Final tip - make sure your contact information is current in your Washington ESD account. If they need to reach you for any reason during processing, outdated contact info can cause delays.
Good catch! I should double-check that everything is current. Thanks for all the helpful advice everyone.
This thread has been really helpful - nice to know I'm not the only one dealing with the waiting game!

If you're unsure about the recall date, you can always call Washington ESD to clarify before submitting your application. They'd rather answer questions upfront than deal with corrections later.

•I had the same problem until someone told me about Claimyr. They basically call Washington ESD for you and get your questions answered. Saved me hours of trying to get through myself. Worth checking out at claimyr.com if you need to talk to an actual agent.

•Interesting, I'll look into that. Anything beats sitting on hold for hours just to get disconnected.
