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!

Quick question - do you need to report the temp job income when you reopen, or just mention that you worked? I'm not sure how detailed they want you to be.
You should report the income details when you reopen. They need to know dates of employment and total earnings to make sure it doesn't affect your benefit calculation.
Okay, I'll make sure to have my pay stubs ready. Better to provide too much information than too little.
This thread has been super helpful! I was stressing about reopening my claim but it sounds like it's not as scary as I thought. Sometimes the anticipation is worse than the actual process.
Exactly! I was really worried for nothing. The actual process was pretty straightforward.
That's usually how it goes with this stuff. We work ourselves up over nothing!

For what it's worth, I tried to call Washington ESD about something similar and gave up after 2 hours of busy signals. The Claimyr service someone mentioned actually worked - got me through to a real person who confirmed exactly what everyone here is saying. Sometimes worth the investment to get definitive answers.
I think I'm comfortable with the consensus here but good to know that option exists if I need it for anything else.

Keep trying different numbers and times. Eventually something will work. The key is persistence.
Persistence is right. It shouldn't be this hard but that's the reality.

Been following this thread and it's fascinating how sociology explains what we're all experiencing. Makes me feel less alone knowing this is a structural issue, not just bad luck with Washington ESD.

Final thought: sociologists would probably say the real test of a society is how well its safety net works during crisis. Washington ESD's current performance suggests we have work to do.
