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 if you do win your appeal, make sure Washington ESD updates your employer's UI tax rate to reflect the approved claim. sometimes they don't automatically adjust it and the employer gets away with not paying their fair share into the system.
I hadn't thought about that aspect. How would I make sure they update the employer's tax rate?
Washington ESD should handle it automatically when they approve your appeal, but it doesn't hurt to ask about it during your fact-finding interview or mention it to the appeals judge.
One more thing - if you need to talk to Washington ESD about your appeal status or have questions during the process, I had good luck using claimyr to get through to an actual person. The regular phone lines are impossible but that service made it so much easier to get answers when I needed them.
I keep seeing mentions of this service. Is it worth the cost when you're already dealing with denied benefits?
For me it was worth it because I needed answers quickly and couldn't afford to spend days trying to get through on my own. But everyone's situation is different.

Good luck with everything! Being laid off is stressful enough without having to navigate a confusing bureaucracy, but you'll get through it.
I really appreciate all the support. This community is amazing!
Hope your claim goes smoothly! Most people don't have major issues if they file everything correctly and on time. You seem well-prepared now with all this great advice.
Thanks! I'm going to file tonight and hopefully everything goes smoothly from here.
And remember, if you do need to reach Washington ESD by phone for any reason, that Claimyr service is there as backup. Hope you won't need it, but it's good to know about!

Just remember to keep detailed records of everything - your job searches, any contact with Washington ESD, any work you do while on unemployment. Documentation is your friend if any issues come up later.
Thanks, I'll make sure to keep good records. This has all been super helpful!

Don't panic yet - most of these denials are fixable once you talk to someone. The hard part is just getting through to an actual person who can help.
Thanks for the encouragement. Really hoping I can get this sorted out quickly.
You will! Just be persistent and don't give up. Your benefits are important and you deserve to get them.
Classic Washington ESD move - deny first, explain never. Hope you get through to someone who can actually help instead of just reading you the same info that's already on the website.
Yeah I've already read everything online multiple times. I need someone who can actually look at my specific claim and tell me what happened.
Exactly. The website is useless for specific issues like this. You need a real person to dig into your account.

Here's the step by step process: 1) Gather all your documents 2) Create SAW account 3) File initial claim at esd.wa.gov 4) Register with WorkSourceWA 5) File weekly claims every Sunday 6) Complete reemployment plan 7) Do job search activities 8) Report any work/income. That covers the basics.

Just remember that if you do get stuck anywhere in the process, getting an actual human at Washington ESD to help can make all the difference. Don't spend weeks spinning your wheels if something isn't working right.
