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!

Just want to add that if you're having consistent payment delays, it might be worth checking if there's an issue with your claim that needs attention. Sometimes there are flags that aren't obvious.
How would you know if there's a flag on your account?
Usually shows in your account status or you get a notice. But sometimes you need to call to find out what's going on.
Bottom line: file your weekly claim by Sunday midnight, expect payment by Tuesday, keep good records, and don't mess up your job search requirements. The system works if you follow the rules exactly.
Thanks everyone, this has been really helpful! I feel much more confident about the timing now.
Agreed, once you get the rhythm down it's pretty straightforward. Just don't expect to get help if something goes wrong lol

One last tip - set up direct deposit right away when you file your claim. Paper checks take much longer to arrive and can get lost in the mail. Direct deposit usually hits your account within 1-2 business days of being processed.
Definitely doing direct deposit! I need the money as fast as possible. Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice, I feel much more confident about filing now.
Good luck with your claim! Hope everything goes smoothly for you.

For anyone who needs to actually speak with Washington ESD about complex wage situations, I'll mention Claimyr one more time. Sometimes you just need to talk to a real person instead of trying to figure it out online.
I think I'm going to try that service. My situation is getting too complicated for online research.
Good call. Some things really do need to be discussed with an actual ESD representative.

This thread has been super helpful! I'm in a similar situation and was worried about filing. Sounds like it's definitely worth doing and not as complicated as I thought. Going to start my application tomorrow.
Same here! Feeling much more confident about the process now. Good luck with your application!
Thanks, you too! Hope we both get approved quickly.
If anyone needs help reaching Washington ESD after they file, I'll third the recommendation for Claimyr. Used it myself when I had issues with my partial benefit calculation and it was worth every penny to actually talk to someone who could fix my problem instead of getting hung up on after waiting on hold for an hour.
Seems like a lot of people have had success with that service. I'll definitely keep it in mind if I run into issues.
Yeah, honestly wish I'd known about it sooner. Would have saved me so much stress dealing with Washington ESD phone system.

Make sure you have email notifications turned on in your Washington ESD account. They'll send you a payment confirmation when it processes.

Hope everything works out for you OP. The unemployment system can be stressful but it usually works out in the end.
