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!

If you end up needing to call Washington ESD about this or anything else, definitely try Claimyr. I used it last month and actually got through to someone in under 10 minutes instead of spending hours on hold.
That sounds amazing compared to the horror stories I've heard about calling Washington ESD directly.
10 minutes?? That's incredible. I spent 3 hours on hold last time I tried calling.

Does anyone know how long the adjudication process typically takes these days? I filed 2 weeks ago and still showing 'under review' status.
6 weeks?! That's insane when people need money for rent and food.
Yeah it's rough. I ended up using that Claimyr service someone mentioned to actually talk to an agent about my timeline. At least now I know where things stand.
Just want to echo what others said - being fired doesn't automatically disqualify you! I got terminated from two different jobs and was approved for benefits both times. Washington ESD really does look at the specific circumstances.
That's reassuring to hear. I'm feeling more confident about filing now.

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.
UPDATE: I just wanted to circle back and let everyone know I got my first payment today! It was exactly 18 days from when I filed my initial claim. Thanks everyone for the advice and reassurance.
Congrats! That's great news and gives hope to others waiting.
That's awesome! I'm still waiting but this gives me hope that mine will come through soon too.

fingers crossed for you OP! the first payment is always the scariest wait but it gets easier after that
Thanks everyone for all the advice and support. This thread has been really helpful!
Hope this thread helps other people going through the same thing. The initial waiting period is stressful but Washington ESD does process claims fairly reliably once you get through the queue.
Definitely going to bookmark this for reference. Really appreciate everyone taking the time to share their experiences.

One last piece of advice - if you do get approved, make sure you understand all the requirements for continuing to receive benefits. Job search requirements, reporting any income, etc. It's easy to mess up and lose your benefits later.

•Good reminder. I'll make sure to read through all the requirements carefully once I get approved.

Thanks for posting this question OP. I learned a lot from reading everyone's responses. Going to file my own claim this week after putting it off for too long.
