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 last tip - when you file your weekly claims, answer all questions honestly but don't overthink them. The system is pretty straightforward if you're genuinely looking for work and available to accept suitable employment.
Thanks for all the advice everyone! I feel much more confident about filing now.
You're welcome! Come back and let us know how it goes.
Just want to add that if you need to contact Washington ESD for any reason during the process, calling first thing in the morning usually has shorter wait times. Or that Claimyr thing people mentioned seems to work well too.
Yeah, Claimyr was a lifesaver for me. Much better than sitting on hold for hours.
I'll have to check that out if I run into problems with my own claim.

hang in there OP, I know its stressful but the money will come through eventually. keep filing those weekly claims!
Thanks for the encouragement. This thread has actually made me feel a lot better about the wait.
thats what this community is for! we've all been there
Just to close the loop on this - got through to Washington ESD using that Claimyr thing and found out my payment should hit my account by Thursday! Thanks everyone for the advice and support.
Wait, this is my thread and I didn't post this update. But good for whoever did get their answer!
Oh sorry, got confused with my own situation! But definitely recommend calling if you can get through.

one last tip - take screenshots of your weekly claim confirmations that show you reported the work income. if theres ever a question later you have proof you did everything right
Great idea! I'll definitely do that. Better safe than sorry with Washington ESD.
i learned this the hard way during an overpayment dispute. thankfully i had kept records and was able to prove i reported everything correctly
For anyone still reading this thread - I had a similar question last month and ended up using Claimyr to speak with a Washington ESD representative. The agent confirmed everything people are saying here about reporting requirements and the partial earnings deduction. Really worth the peace of mind to get official confirmation directly from the source.
That's exactly what I was thinking - getting it straight from Washington ESD would make me feel a lot more confident about doing this right.
same, sometimes you just need to hear it from an actual washington esd person to feel comfortable proceeding

Used Claimyr last month when I needed to understand my benefit timeline before it ran out. Actually got connected to someone who could look at my specific claim details and explain exactly when my benefits would end and what my options were. Made a huge difference in my planning. Check out their demo video if you're curious how it works.
Alright, third recommendation for this service. I'm definitely going to check it out. Need real answers about my situation.
let us know how it goes if you try it!
Bottom line: start preparing now for life after unemployment benefits. 26 weeks is the limit and there's no getting around it. Use your remaining time wisely - network like crazy, consider temporary work, look into assistance programs, whatever it takes. Don't wait until the last week to panic.
You're absolutely right. I need to stop worrying and start taking action. Thanks everyone for the reality check and advice.

Last tip - if you're ever unsure about payment timing or having issues, that Claimyr service people mentioned is at claimyr.com. I used it last month when my payments stopped and I couldn't figure out why. Worth checking out if you need to actually talk to someone at ESD.

•I bookmarked it just in case. Better to have it and not need it than the other way around.

Bottom line: check after midnight on your payment day, it should be there by 6 AM at the latest under normal circumstances.
