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 last tip - keep detailed records of everything. Save all your correspondence with Washington ESD, keep track of your job search activities, and document any issues you have. You never know when you might need that information.
Good advice. I'm starting a folder right now with all my layoff paperwork and will add to it as I go through this process.
Smart move. Having everything organized will save you headaches later if any questions come up about your claim.
Just to give you hope - I was in your exact situation last year and everything worked out fine. The first few weeks are stressful but once you get into the routine it becomes manageable.
Thanks for the encouragement! I really need to hear that right now.
You've got this! Focus on the job search and the benefits will take care of themselves once the system processes your claim.

Keep us posted OP! This is super helpful for anyone else dealing with the same issue.
Absolutely will update once I get some answers. Thanks everyone for all the help and suggestions!
Same boat here. Filed last week and nothing showing up. This thread is making me feel less crazy about it.
Glad it's not just me! Let me know if you figure anything out on your end too.
Will do. Probably going to try that Claimyr service too after reading these comments.

Hope your claim goes smoothly! Keep us updated on how the process goes. Always helpful to hear real experiences with Washington ESD claims.
Will do! I'll report back once I know more about how it all works out.
And remember, if you need to actually talk to someone at Washington ESD about your claim status or have questions, services like Claimyr can save you a lot of frustration trying to get through on the phone. Sometimes you just need to speak with a real person to get answers.
I'll keep that in mind. The phone system can be really frustrating when you have urgent questions.

Update us when you get your payment! I'm curious if it ends up being a bank delay or something on Washington ESD's end.
Will do! I'm feeling a lot better about the timeline after reading everyone's responses. Sounds like I just need to be more patient.
The waiting is definitely the hardest part, especially when you have bills due.
One more tip - if you have multiple bank accounts, make sure you're checking the right one. I once spent a whole day panicking about a missing payment only to realize I had updated my direct deposit info the week before and forgot about it.
Haha, that would be just my luck. But no, I've only got the one account and it's definitely the right one in my Washington ESD profile.
I did something similar once. Changed my address and somehow that messed up my direct deposit. Had to call Washington ESD to fix it.

Hang in there everyone. I know it's tough but there are jobs out there. I was in the same situation last year and eventually found something. Don't give up hope.

One last tip - if you're getting close to exhausting benefits, try using Claimyr to get through to Washington ESD and ask about any programs or resources you might have missed. Sometimes there are things available that aren't well publicized.

•That's a great suggestion. I've seen several people mention that service now so it must be legitimate. I'll definitely give it a try.

•Yeah, I wish I had known about it sooner. Would have saved me a lot of frustration trying to get through on my own.
