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!

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.

0 coins

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.

0 coins

Exactly. The website is useless for specific issues like this. You need a real person to dig into your account.

0 coins

That's a good point. I can work but probably not in jobs requiring heavy lifting due to my back injury. I should mention that in my job search activities.

0 coins

Exactly. They want to see that you're being realistic about what work you can accept while still actively looking for appropriate employment.

Just remembered - if you do end up needing to talk to Washington ESD about anything specific to your claim, definitely check out that Claimyr service I mentioned earlier. Saved me so much frustration compared to the regular phone system. The video demo really shows how much easier it makes the whole process of reaching an actual person.

I bookmarked it just in case. Hopefully I won't need it but good to know it's there if I run into problems.

Wish I'd known about that when I was dealing with my overpayment issue. Spent literally days trying to get through to explain my situation.

Hope everything works out for you! Being laid off sucks but at least Washington state has decent unemployment benefits compared to some places. You'll get through this.

Thank you! I appreciate everyone's help and advice.

Remember to apply as soon as possible since there's a waiting week before benefits start. The sooner you file, the sooner that waiting period begins.

I'm going to start the application right now. Thanks again everyone!

This whole thread makes me feel better knowing I'm not the only one struggling with this. It's so stressful when you need help and can't reach anyone.

0 coins

Right? At least we're all in this together. Hopefully some of these tips will help us all get through easier

0 coins

definitely not alone, the struggle is real for all of us

Final thought - document everything! Keep track of when you called, how long you waited, if you got disconnected, etc. If you ever need to escalate or file a complaint, having that record helps.

0 coins

That's really smart. I should have been doing that from the beginning

0 coins

Great advice. Also take notes during your call about what the agent tells you, including their name or ID number
