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 was skeptical about paying for help with Washington ESD calls, but after trying Claimyr I have to admit it works. Got connected to someone who answered all my questions about job search requirements and even helped me understand my eligibility review. Sometimes it's worth paying for efficiency.
How quickly were you able to get through?
For anyone still confused, I called WorkSourceWA (which is free) and they confirmed the 3 job search activities per week requirement. They also offered to help me with my job search strategy which was nice.
That's a great free resource! I should probably take advantage of their services too.
WorkSourceWA has been really helpful for me too. Their career counselors actually know what they're talking about.

My appeal took exactly 7 weeks from hearing to decision letter. Got approved and received about $4,200 in back pay. The wait was worth it but definitely nerve-wracking.
Fingers crossed for you! The relief when that approval letter finally arrives is amazing.
Wow $4200 is a nice chunk of back pay. Makes the wait a little more bearable knowing that's possible.

I used Claimyr twice when I had issues with my claim and it worked great both times. Really worth it if you need to talk to someone at Washington ESD but can't get through normally. The waiting and busy signals are ridiculous.
Good to know there are options if I run into any problems. Hopefully everything goes smoothly!
I might need to try that service. I've been trying to reach Washington ESD for weeks about an issue with my claim.
The most important thing is don't overthink it. File your final claim honestly, report your return to work, and let the system do its job. Washington ESD's automated processes work pretty well for straightforward situations like this.
You're right, I'm probably overthinking this. I'll just file the final claim and move on. Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice!
Exactly! And congratulations again on the new job. It's a great feeling to close out that unemployment chapter.

Bottom line: unless there's a problem with your claim, your employer probably won't hear from Washington ESD after the initial verification. The system is set up to be as hands-off as possible for routine claims.
Thanks everyone for all the info! I feel much better about this whole process now.
No problem! This forum has been really helpful for me too when I was figuring all this stuff out.

One final thought - even if you get approved for unemployment, keep pushing on the disability claim too. Having both processes moving forward gives you the best chance of maintaining some income during this difficult period.

Best of luck with everything! This situation is stressful enough without worrying about having no income. Hope both your claims work out soon.
