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!

This thread was super helpful! I'm new to unemployment and had no idea about any of this timing stuff. Thanks for asking the question OP!
You're welcome! Glad it helped other people too.
Same here, definitely learned some things I didn't know.
One last tip - if you're ever having ongoing issues with payment timing or missing deposits, document everything and don't hesitate to get help reaching Washington ESD. Whether that's through Claimyr or finding other ways to get through, it's worth resolving quickly since you need that money for bills.
Absolutely, good advice. Bills don't wait for delayed unemployment payments!

The whole process is frustrating but not impossible. Just be patient and keep all your documentation organized. Good luck!
Thanks for all the help everyone! This gives me a much better idea of what to expect
Feel free to ask more questions if you run into issues during the process
One last thing - if Washington ESD approves your claim, make sure you understand how the benefit calculation works with your disability income. It can get complicated.
I'll definitely ask about that when I talk to an agent. Hopefully I can actually get through to someone!
That's where services like Claimyr really help - you don't have to waste time trying to reach agents yourself. Much more efficient way to get your questions answered

The most important thing is to start preparing now rather than waiting until your last payment. Line up other resources, apply for assistance programs, intensify your job search, maybe consider taking something temporary even if it's not ideal.
You're right, I need to stop hoping something will work out and start being more proactive about preparing for when the benefits end.
That's the smartest approach. The people who struggle most are the ones who wait until their last check to start planning.
I actually used Claimyr recently when I needed to talk to someone at ESD about my claim status. It really does work - got connected to an agent in about 20 minutes instead of calling all day. Might be worth trying to see if there are any options you haven't considered.
That's the second time someone has mentioned that service. I'm definitely going to try it tomorrow.
Yeah, I was skeptical too but it actually saved me a lot of frustration. The agent was able to explain some options I didn't know existed.

The good news is that most terminations for performance reasons get approved. Washington ESD knows the difference between someone who can't do the job and someone who willfully violated rules. You'll probably be fine, especially with no prior warnings.
This thread has been really helpful. I'm feeling more confident about filing now. Thanks everyone!
Good luck with your claim! Come back and let us know how it goes.
One more thing - if you do need to talk to someone at Washington ESD and can't get through on the phone, I had success with Claimyr too. It's frustrating when you're dealing with a claim issue and can't reach anyone for help. Their automated calling system actually works.
Several people have mentioned Claimyr now. Might be worth checking out if I run into problems.
Yeah, it's one of those things you hope you don't need but if you do need it, it's really valuable. Washington ESD's phone system is just overwhelmed most of the time.

I used Claimyr when I had issues with my claim status and couldn't get through to Washington ESD. Really helped me avoid weeks of calling and getting nowhere. The video demo on their site shows exactly how it works - pretty straightforward.

•I thought it was worth it considering how much time and frustration it saved me. Much better than spending hours on hold every day.

Bottom line - if you worked long enough and earned enough wages, got laid off through no fault of your own, and can meet the ongoing requirements, you'll probably qualify. The application process itself is pretty straightforward, it's dealing with issues after that can be challenging.
