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!

Has anyone dealt with overpayment issues? I'm worried I might have made a mistake on one of my weekly claims and don't want to end up owing money back.
If you made an honest mistake, contact Washington ESD as soon as possible to correct it. It's much better to be proactive than to wait for them to discover it during an audit.
That's what I was thinking. Better to deal with it now than have it become a bigger problem later.
This thread has been super helpful! I had no idea the max was that high. Going to file my claim this week now that I understand what to expect.
Glad it helped! I'm feeling much more confident about the process now too. Good luck with your claim!
Thanks! Hopefully the whole process goes smoothly for both of us.

Good to know there's a backup option if I can't get through the normal way. Hopefully I won't need it but it's nice to know it exists.
The most important thing is to start the process as soon as possible after your employment ends. Don't wait thinking you might find another job quickly - you can always stop filing weekly claims if you get hired, but you can't go back and claim benefits for weeks you didn't file.
That makes sense. Better to file and not need it than need it and not have filed. Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice!

Update: I used the advice from this thread and finally got through! Called at 8:00am sharp, waited 3 hours, but got my issue resolved. Thank you everyone for the tips.
Three hours is actually pretty good. Glad you got through!
Thanks! The rep was really helpful once I got connected. The wait was worth it.

Don't stress too much about the qualifications - if you worked 8 months and got laid off, you almost certainly qualify. The hard part is navigating the system once you file.
Good luck! The system is frustrating but the benefits are worth it if you qualify.
Appreciate all the help everyone! This thread was way more helpful than the Washington ESD website.
One last tip - keep records of everything. Screenshots of your application, copies of documents you submit, notes from phone calls. You'll thank yourself later if any issues come up.
Good advice! I'll start a folder for all this stuff.
Yes! I wish someone had told me that from the beginning. Had to recreate so much documentation later.

Good luck! Hope everything goes smoothly for you
