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 Washington ESD benefit estimator tool is pretty accurate once you have your quarterly wage info. But if your wages varied a lot between quarters, the estimate might be different from your actual calculated amount.
This happened to me. I had a lot of overtime in one quarter that skewed my estimate higher than my actual benefit ended up being.
My wages were pretty consistent so hopefully the estimate will be close to accurate.
Don't stress too much about the exact amount until you get your monetary determination letter from Washington ESD. That will show your exact weekly benefit amount, maximum benefits available, and your benefit year dates.
Usually within a week or two if there are no issues with your claim. It comes by mail and also shows up in your SecureAccess Washington account.
Mine took 3 weeks but that was during a busy period when lots of people were filing claims.

Last thing about Claimyr - they also help if you run into issues after you apply. Like if your claim gets stuck in adjudication or you need to appeal something. Having that backup support really helps with the stress of dealing with Washington ESD.
That's good to know. I'll definitely keep that in mind if I run into problems.

If you have any issues with the Washington ESD website or need to speak with someone about your claim, I had good luck with that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier. Saved me hours of trying to get through on the phone.
I'll keep that in mind if I run into any problems. Hopefully the online filing process goes smoothly.

One last thing - keep records of everything. Save confirmation numbers, print out your application, keep notes about when you filed. If any issues come up later, having documentation makes everything easier.
Good advice. I'll screenshot everything as I go through the process.
Smart approach. Paper trail is your friend when dealing with any government agency.
Hope everything works out for you! The unemployment system isn't perfect but it's there to help people in exactly your situation. Don't feel bad about using it - you paid into it through your paychecks.
Thank you, I really appreciate all the advice from everyone. Going to file my claim tonight!
Good luck! You've got this.

Bottom line - file as soon as possible but don't panic if it's been a few weeks. You have time, just don't keep putting it off.
