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!

Don't forget you can have a representative or lawyer help you with the appeal if it's a complex case. Most employment lawyers will give you a free consultation to see if it's worth pursuing.
Is it worth getting a lawyer for something like this? I'm worried about the cost.
For straightforward cases like yours with clear documentation, you probably don't need one. But the consultation might give you confidence about your chances.
You got this! Your case sounds really strong with the restructuring documentation. Just stay organized, be honest, and present your facts clearly. Most appeals with good evidence like yours succeed.
Keep us posted on how it goes! Rooting for you to get this sorted out quickly.
Yes please update us! Your case will probably help other people in similar situations.

One more tip - set up direct deposit when you file your claim. Paper checks take longer and can get lost in the mail. Direct deposit is usually processed within 2-3 business days.
Good to know. I definitely want to get paid as fast as possible once I'm approved.
Final reminder that benefit amounts can change if you have any earnings during the week. Even small amounts of work need to be reported on your weekly claim or you could face an overpayment later.
yeah i had to pay back money because i didnt report some odd jobs i did. they eventually find out everything
I'll make sure to report everything. The last thing I need is to owe them money back.

I used claimyr to finally reach someone at Washington ESD about my appeal timeline and it was so worth it. Spent months trying to get through on my own and they connected me in like 10 minutes.
How much does something like that cost? I'm already struggling financially.
Way less than I expected and definitely worth it compared to the time I was wasting. Check out their site at claimyr.com - they explain how it works.
Just be honest and straightforward. Don't try to oversell your case or exaggerate - the judge will see through that. Stick to the facts and let your documentation do the talking.
Thanks everyone. I feel a lot more prepared now. I'll update after my hearing next week!
Good luck! Remember to stay calm and organized. You've got this!

Update on my situation - I finally got through to someone at Washington ESD using that Claimyr service. Turns out my claim was approved but there was a delay in the system updating. Sometimes you really do need to talk to a person to get the real status.
Less than 24 hours. Much better than the weeks I spent trying to call myself.
Glad it worked out for you! Sometimes these systems just need a human touch to get things moving.
Remember that while you're waiting for your claim decision, you should still be actively job searching and keeping track of your activities. Washington requires documentation of your job search efforts.
Good reminder. I've already started applying to other retail positions and keeping a log of everything.

The silver lining is that historically these high unemployment phases don't last forever. Usually 12-24 months max before recovery begins.

•True, just trying to provide some perspective. The immediate problem is still getting claims processed.

Bottom line - this economic downturn caught Washington ESD unprepared and now we're all paying the price with delayed claims and impossible phone lines.
