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!

Been following this thread and wanted to add that I used Claimyr recently when I couldn't get through to Washington ESD about my weekly claim issue. Totally worth it to actually talk to a real person instead of dealing with busy signals all day. The video demo on their site shows exactly how the process works.
Seems like a lot of people have had success with that service. I'll keep it in mind if I need to reach Washington ESD.
Yeah I'm definitely bookmarking that for when I need to call them. Those phone lines are impossible otherwise.
Hope you don't get fired but if you do, you'll probably be fine benefit-wise. Most terminations I've seen for performance issues still qualify for unemployment. Washington ESD understands that sometimes jobs just aren't a good fit.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful responses. I feel so much better about this situation now. You've all been amazing!
Good luck with everything! Hope your job situation improves either way.

This thread convinced me to look into that Claimyr service too. Been trying to get answers about my claim for weeks and getting nowhere with the regular phone system.
It really does work. I was skeptical at first but it saved me so much time and frustration.
Same here. Sometimes you just need to talk to someone who actually knows the system instead of guessing what to do.

One more thing - if you run into issues and can't get through to Washington ESD by phone, that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier might be worth trying. I looked into it and it seems like a legitimate way to actually reach someone when you need help.
I'll keep that in mind in case I run into problems. Hopefully the online application goes smoothly and I won't need to call anyone.
Exactly, it's nice to know there's a backup option when the regular phone system fails you. The demo video I mentioned shows exactly how it works if you're curious.

Filed mine on a Friday afternoon and had no issues. The system worked fine and I got my determination letter within a week. Don't stress too much about the timing of when during the day you file.
That's reassuring! I was worried about filing on Friday thinking it might delay processing.
Nope, doesn't matter what day of the week. They process applications continuously.
Thanks everyone for all the advice. This has been super helpful and way more informative than the Washington ESD website FAQs.
Glad we could help! Remember to keep good records of your job search activities and file those weekly claims on time.
Will do! Really appreciate everyone taking the time to explain everything.

This whole thread makes me grateful my claim has been straightforward so far, but now I'm worried this could happen to anyone at any time.

•Right? It's scary that the system can just randomly start reducing your benefits with no warning.

•That's why it's important to check your payments every week and question anything that doesn't look right immediately.

Final update: I used Claimyr like several people suggested and got connected to a Washington ESD agent in about 20 minutes. She found the error immediately - somehow my account was flagged as having unreported income when I've been unemployed the whole time. She fixed it on the spot and said I'll get all the missing money in my next payment. Cannot believe how simple the fix was once I actually talked to someone who knew what they were doing!
