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!

Good luck with whatever you decide to do! Sounds like you have some good options to explore, especially if you think you were misclassified.
Thanks everyone! This has been super helpful. I'm going to start gathering my documentation and probably file a claim to get the process started.

One last thing - if your previous claim had any special circumstances like standby status or partial unemployment, make sure to mention that when you file your new claim. It can affect how they process things.
My previous claim was straightforward regular unemployment, so I don't think that applies to me.
Even better! Regular claims are usually the most straightforward to process for subsequent claims.
Final advice - don't wait too long to file if you're eligible. Your claim is backdated to when you file, not when you lost your job, so filing sooner means getting benefits sooner. And if you need to talk to someone at ESD about your specific situation, services like Claimyr can save you a lot of frustration with the phone system.
Planning to file tomorrow morning. Thanks again everyone for all the helpful information!
You're welcome! Hope everything goes smoothly with your new claim.

Final update - got my first unemployment payment today! Ended up being $478 per week after taxes, which is pretty close to what people estimated based on my salary. Thanks everyone for the help and advice.
Congrats! That gives me hope that mine will come through soon too.
Nice! Still waiting on mine but good to see the system is working for some people.

Just remember that even if your deposit is delayed, as long as your claim shows 'paid' you will get the money. Washington ESD doesn't lose payments, they just sometimes take longer to process.
That's reassuring. I was starting to worry the money might just disappear.
Exactly right. The 'paid' status is your confirmation that the funds are on their way.
FINAL UPDATE: Got my deposit this morning! Thursday at 6am, so about 72 hours from filing Sunday night. Thanks everyone for the advice and reassurance. Setting up those bank alerts now for future peace of mind.
Great to hear! The timing sounds totally normal for this week.
Glad it worked out! Keep that Claimyr info handy for any future issues.
