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!

Final thought on getting help when you need it - if you run into problems with your claim that require speaking to an ESD agent, don't waste weeks trying to get through on your own. Services like Claimyr can save you tons of time and frustration. The peace of mind is worth it when you're dealing with unemployment stress.
I'll keep that in mind if I run into any issues. Hopefully everything goes smoothly but it's good to know there are options if I need help.
Good luck with your claim! Most people have a smooth experience if they stay on top of the requirements. The 26 weeks should give you a good cushion to find your next opportunity. Just remember to file those weekly claims on time and keep up with your job search activities.
Thank you! I feel much more prepared now thanks to everyone's advice.

honestly wish they had better tutorials or videos explaining the process step by step. would save everyone a lot of confusion
Agreed! A simple walkthrough video would help so many people.
That would be amazing. The written instructions are pretty confusing.
Hope this thread helps other people who are struggling with the same thing. Filing weekly claims shouldn't be this complicated but at least we can help each other figure it out.
Definitely! This community is so helpful. I was feeling really overwhelmed but now I know what to do.
That's what we're here for! Washington ESD can be frustrating but we're all in this together.

One thing to keep in mind is that you'll need to be actively looking for work and able to accept suitable employment to maintain your benefits. Make sure you understand the job search requirements before you start claiming weekly benefits.
You need to make at least 3 job search activities per week and keep a log of your search activities.
The job search requirements can be confusing. If you need help understanding what counts as a valid job search activity, talking to a Washington ESD representative can clarify things.
Bottom line - file your claim and let Washington ESD decide. You've got nothing to lose by applying and potentially weeks or months of benefits to gain if you're approved. Don't let the fear of denial stop you from trying.
You're absolutely right. I'm going to file my application today. Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice and encouragement!
Good luck! Keep us posted on how it goes.

My cousin used that Claimyr thing too when she couldn't get through to Washington ESD about her weekly claim certification. She said it was way easier than trying to call on her own.

The whole unemployment system can seem overwhelming at first but it's really designed to help people who lose their jobs through no fault of their own. Don't be afraid to use it if you need it - you've been paying into the system through your payroll taxes.

•That's a good way to think about it. I have been paying into the system so I shouldn't feel bad about using it if necessary.

•Exactly! It's insurance that you've been paying for. There's no shame in using unemployment benefits when you need them.
