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!

I work graveyard shift so I filed at like 6am before going to bed after my last day. No problems at all, system worked perfectly. Time doesn't matter, just get it done quickly after separation.
Smart move filing right away. I waited a week and regretted it
Yeah I'm not waiting, doing it tonight for sure
Does anyone know if maintenance windows ever take the system down? I tried filing once at 3am and got an error message
They do occasionally have maintenance but it's rare and usually announced. Most likely you hit a temporary glitch, not scheduled maintenance.
Makes sense. Worked fine when I tried again an hour later

One more thing - make sure your address is current in the system before you file. Washington ESD sends important notices by mail and if they can't reach you, it can cause delays or issues with your claim. Learned this the hard way when I moved and forgot to update my address.
Thanks for mentioning that! I actually did move recently so I'll make sure my address is updated first.
Yeah, it's one of those small things that can cause big headaches later. Better to handle it upfront.
The whole Washington ESD qualification process gave me so much anxiety when I was unemployed. Kept second-guessing whether I'd done something wrong or if I'd get denied. But honestly, if you were laid off through no fault of your own and have a decent work history, you're probably fine. The system is designed to help people in situations like yours.
That's exactly how I'm feeling right now. It's good to hear from someone who went through the same worries.
Trust me, I totally get it. But once you file and get through the initial process, it becomes much more routine. Just take it one step at a time.

Update: Just wanted to let everyone know my payment showed up this morning! Took exactly 2 business days after 'payment released' showed on my Washington ESD account. Thanks for all the helpful info.
Glad it worked out! Now you know what to expect for future payments.
Perfect timing - that's exactly what we'd expect for a Wells Fargo direct deposit.

Whatever you decide, don't let anyone pressure you into stopping your unemployment benefits until you have something else lined up. You need income to survive while all this gets sorted out.
