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!

just want to add that this system has been around since the 1930s. its one of the most successful social insurance programs in the country
That's true - unemployment insurance has helped millions of people through temporary job loss over the decades.
For anyone still having trouble getting detailed info from Washington ESD directly, I really recommend checking out Claimyr. The video demo at https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ shows exactly how it works to connect you with actual agents who can answer complex questions like funding and benefit calculations.
Thanks for sharing that resource. Going to give it a try since I have some complicated questions about my own claim.

Just remember to keep detailed records of everything - when you applied, when you file weekly claims, job search activities. Washington ESD can request this information during audits.
Thanks for all the advice everyone! Feeling much more prepared for this process now.
You're welcome! Feel free to ask if you run into any issues during the process.

Last thing - if you do find temporary or part-time work, you can still collect partial benefits. Don't turn down work thinking it'll hurt your unemployment. Washington has a good partial benefit system that encourages working.

•Nope, they actually encourage it. Just report all your earnings honestly when you file your weekly claims.

If you end up needing help navigating the system or getting answers from Washington ESD, that Claimyr service others mentioned really does work. I used it when I had questions about benefit duration and got through to someone who explained everything clearly. Worth checking out if you get stuck.

•Yeah, just nice to have when you need to actually talk to someone instead of trying to figure things out from the website.
