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!

For what it's worth, 26 weeks was enough for me to find work last time I was unemployed, but I got lucky with timing. The key is starting your job search immediately.
How long did it actually take you to find something?
About 4 months, so I had a couple weeks of benefits left. But I know people who've searched for much longer.
Just want to add that if anyone is getting close to exhausting benefits, don't forget about career centers and job training resources. Even if they can't extend your UI, they might have other support.
Good point. The resources are out there, you just have to know where to look.
Thanks everyone for all the info. Sounds like I need to plan for 26 weeks max and start job hunting immediately.

If you're really worried about job security, you might want to start documenting everything at work now, just in case. It can help if you need to prove you were terminated without fault.
That's smart advice. I'll start keeping better records of my work performance and any issues that come up.
Bottom line - don't stress too much about it right now. Focus on doing well at your current job, but know that if things don't work out, you may have options depending on your work history.
Thanks for all the helpful information everyone! This thread has been really educational.
Glad we could help! Good luck with your job situation.

If you run into any problems during the application process, don't panic. The system saves your progress so you can come back to it later. I had to restart mine like 3 times due to website issues.
That's a relief! I was worried about losing everything if the site crashed.
Yeah it's actually pretty good about saving your info. Just make sure to finish each section before closing the browser.

Hope you get through and get your issue resolved! The phone system is frustrating but once you actually talk to an agent they're usually pretty helpful.
Thanks! I'm feeling more optimistic now that I have some actual strategies to try instead of just randomly calling.
Just wanted to add - if you do end up using Claimyr, they'll call you back when they get an agent on the line so you don't have to sit by the phone waiting. Made it much less stressful for me.
That callback feature sounds really convenient. I might try the lunch break calling first but good to know that's an option.

One more thing - when Washington ESD contacts you during the investigation, be completely honest about what happened. Don't try to make yourself look perfect or bash your former employer. Just tell the truth about the circumstances of your termination.

•Good advice. I was wondering how to handle that conversation when it comes.

•Just stick to facts and be professional. They're trained to separate misconduct from legitimate business decisions.

I used Claimyr again this week to check on my adjudication status after being fired for performance issues. Much easier than trying to navigate the Washington ESD phone system. Got connected immediately and found out my case should be resolved within the next few days. Highly recommend for anyone needing quick answers.
