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!

Also worth mentioning - if you were fired for misconduct or quit without good cause, you might not be eligible for benefits. But if you were laid off due to lack of work, you should be fine. The application will ask about the reason for separation from your job.
I was definitely laid off due to company downsizing, so I should be okay there.
Last piece of advice - once you get approved and start receiving benefits, don't spend it all right away. Benefits don't last forever and you want to make sure you're prepared for when they run out. In Washington, regular unemployment benefits last up to 26 weeks.
26 weeks should hopefully be enough time to find something new. Thanks everyone for all the help!
You're welcome! This community is great for helping each other navigate the unemployment system.

Update: Just wanted to let everyone know my payment showed up this morning! Took exactly 2 business days after 'payment released' showed on my Washington ESD account. Thanks for all the helpful info.
Glad it worked out! Now you know what to expect for future payments.
Perfect timing - that's exactly what we'd expect for a Wells Fargo direct deposit.

One more thing - if you do miss the interview and get denied, make sure to keep filing your weekly claims while you appeal. If you win the appeal, you'll get backpay for all those weeks.
Wait, I should keep filing even if I get denied? I thought you had to stop filing once you're denied.
Nope, keep filing. It preserves your right to those weeks if your appeal is successful. Just make sure you're still meeting all the requirements like job searching.
UPDATE: I was able to reschedule! Used that Claimyr service someone mentioned and got through to an agent in about 20 minutes. The agent was really helpful and moved my interview to next week. Thanks everyone for the advice!
This gives me hope. I've been trying to reach them about my own adjudication for days with no luck.
Definitely try the service if you're having trouble getting through. It's worth it just for the peace of mind.

I used Claimyr when I had payment issues and it really helped. Got through to someone who explained exactly what was happening with my claim. Worth having their info saved just in case.
Good to know it actually works. The testimonials make it sound almost too good to be true.
I thought the same thing but it's legit. Much better than the regular phone system.

Same here. I'm feeling much more confident about filing my claim now that I understand the process better.
