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!

Last piece of advice - don't take it personally when the system seems to be working against you. It's not designed to be user-friendly and the staff at Washington ESD are dealing with huge caseloads. Stay calm and professional in all your interactions.
That's probably good advice. I can see how this whole situation could make people pretty frustrated and angry.
Exactly. Getting angry at the customer service reps won't help your case. They're just doing their jobs within a flawed system.
Good luck with everything! Unemployment is never fun but at least there's a safety net to help you get back on your feet. Hope you find a new job quickly and don't have to deal with this system for too long.
Thanks! I really appreciate everyone taking the time to explain all this. Definitely feeling less anxious about the whole thing now.

Just wanted to add that you should keep filing your weekly claims even if your initial claim is being investigated. If you're approved later, you'll get back pay for those weeks.
Even if I'm not getting paid yet? That seems weird.
Yes! It keeps your claim active. If you stop filing weekly claims, you could lose benefits for those weeks even if you win.

When I had questions about my eligibility, I tried calling Washington ESD for weeks with no luck. Finally heard about Claimyr from a friend and got connected to an agent the same day. The agent explained exactly what I needed to know about my specific situation.
I might have to try that. Been trying to get through to ask about my case for over a week now.
It really works. Check out their demo video to see how it works: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ
Bottom line: if you've worked in Washington and lost your job through no fault of your own, you should apply. The worst thing that happens is they say no, but you might be surprised and get approved.
Thanks to everyone who replied! I'm convinced now - going to apply this afternoon. Really appreciate all the helpful information.
Good luck with your application! Hope it goes smoothly for you.

Last tip: write down or screenshot your confirmation number after you submit your application. You'll need it for reference and it proves you filed on time.

Good luck with your claim! The process seems overwhelming at first but thousands of people go through it successfully every week. Just take it one step at a time.
