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!

One thing to watch for - if they need any additional info from you, they'll send a separate letter asking for it. Don't ignore those or your claim could get denied for non-response.

Good point! I'll make sure to check my mail carefully for anything from ESD.

Yeah and respond quickly if they do ask for something. They usually give you like 10 days to respond.

Overall Washington ESD is pretty good about approving legitimate claims. The wait is frustrating but they do process most applications eventually. Just keep filing your weekly claims and be patient!

Hope everything works out for you! The transition from disability back to work can be stressful but it sounds like you're approaching it the right way.

Been there! The waiting is stressful but most people do get their first payment within a few weeks. Just keep filing your weekly claims and try not to worry too much about things you can't control.

Thanks for the encouragement. I'll try to stay positive and just focus on doing what I need to do.
