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!

I had to use Claimyr twice last year when I had issues with my claim. Once for an adjudication question and once when my payments stopped randomly. Both times they got me through to someone who could actually help instead of just reading me the website info.
That's exactly what I need. The automated system is useless when you have specific questions.
Yeah, the agents they connect you with can actually look at your account and explain what's happening with your specific claim.

The key thing is just getting started. The longer you wait, the more benefits you potentially lose since they don't backdate to when you became unemployed, only to when you applied.
Got it, I'll apply first thing tomorrow morning. Thanks again everyone!
You got this! It's not as scary as it seems once you get through the first application.
Last tip - keep a notebook or folder with all your unemployment stuff. You'll get a lot of paperwork and it helps to stay organized.
Smart idea. I'll set up a dedicated folder on my computer too for digital stuff.
Yeah and scan physical documents in case something gets lost in the mail. Washington ESD loves their paperwork!

anyone else notice how all the job postings want you to be passionate about filing insurance claims or whatever boring thing they do?
OMG yes! Like I'm passionate about paying my rent, not your company's mission statement about revolutionizing paper clips.
I hate those applications that ask why you're passionate about working for them. Because I need money to live, Karen!
Final thought - don't let the low unemployment narrative make you feel like you're failing. The job market is still challenging for many people despite what the headlines say. Keep doing what you're doing and something will break your way soon.
Thanks everyone for all the advice and support. At least now I know I'm not crazy for struggling in this 'amazing' job market. Going to keep pushing forward and maybe try that Claimyr thing to talk to Washington ESD about other resources.
Good luck! Feel free to update us when you find something. We're all rooting for you.

Good luck with your claim! Most people who get terminated for performance reasons end up getting approved. It's the misconduct cases that get denied.
Thanks for all the encouragement everyone! I'm going to file my claim today and see what happens.
Final update: Got my benefits approved! That Claimyr service really helped me get through to someone who could explain the process. For anyone else struggling to reach Washington ESD, it's worth checking out.
Awesome! I'm definitely going to bookmark that service in case I need it. Hopefully my claim goes smoothly but it's good to know there's a backup plan.
So glad it worked out for you! It's really frustrating when you can't get answers about something as important as your unemployment benefits.

The maximum benefit amount usually increases each year based on wage growth in the state. So it might be even higher next year.

•Good to know for anyone who might need to file claims in the future. The increases have been pretty significant the past few years.
