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!

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.

Bottom line - unemployment is when you CAN work but don't have a job. Disability is when you CAN'T work due to medical reasons. Workers comp is when you can't work due to a work-related injury. Three different things for three different situations.
Perfect summary! This thread has been so helpful. I know which direction to go now.
Glad this got cleared up. The benefit system is confusing enough without mixing up which program is which.

Man this whole thread is making me anxious about my own claim. Been waiting 4 weeks for adjudication on a misconduct determination and still nothing. How do you guys stay patient with this system?
Yeah I've been keeping up with weekly claims and job searches. Just nerve wracking not knowing if I'll ever see any money.
If you need updates on your claim status, that's another situation where Claimyr helped me get actual answers from ESD instead of just checking the website constantly.
Final update: Successfully filed my claim online! Took about 30 minutes to complete. Now the waiting game begins for adjudication. Thanks again everyone for pushing me to file immediately instead of waiting around.
Awesome! Hoping your adjudication goes smoothly. Keep us posted on how it turns out.
Well done. You've given yourself the best chance by filing promptly and being honest about the circumstances. The process will take time but you're in the system now.

Great thread! I learned something new today about employer experience ratings and trust fund mechanics.
It's always good to understand how these systems work, especially when you're depending on them.

One last tip - read all the instructions carefully and answer every question completely. Incomplete applications get delayed while they ask for missing information.

Welcome to the unemployment club nobody wants to join! But seriously, the benefits are there to help you get back on your feet. Use the time wisely for job searching and maybe some skill building too.
