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!

This thread has been really helpful. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences with Washington ESD during tough economic times. At least we're all in this together.
Agreed! It's good to know what to expect and that delays are normal during recessions. Makes me feel less anxious about my pending claim.
Yeah, forums like this are sometimes more helpful than the official Washington ESD guidance.
One last tip - if you're dealing with Washington ESD during a recession, be extra patient with phone representatives. They're probably dealing with way more stressed callers than usual.
Good point. The representatives are people too and they're probably overwhelmed.
True, but that doesn't excuse the systemic issues. We still deserve timely service.

gonna bookmark this thread for all the phone numbers and tips. thanks everyone for sharing your experiences
same here, this has been really helpful
Glad we could help. Good luck with your claim issues everyone!
Final thought - if none of the regular calling methods work out, definitely consider the Claimyr service. I was skeptical at first but it really does work for getting through to Washington ESD when you're stuck.
thanks for the recommendation, might be my backup plan
Multiple people here have vouched for it so it seems legit. Good to have options.

Don't forget that if you ever have questions about payment timing or need to check on a specific payment, you can always look at your payment history in your Washington ESD online account. It shows when payments were issued and the amounts.
Good reminder. I'll bookmark that page so I can easily check in the future.

One more resource - the Puget Sound Regional Council publishes economic forecasts that include employment projections for the central Puget Sound area. Helpful for long-term planning.
Thanks for all these resources everyone. I have a lot more research to do but this gives me a great starting point.
Happy to help. Economic data can be overwhelming but it's worth taking the time to understand the trends.
Good luck to your cousin! The job market is tough but Washington still has opportunities if you know where to look. Having family support during a job search makes a big difference too.
And remember, if he does need to deal with ESD for any reason, services like Claimyr can save a lot of headaches with the phone system.
I'll definitely keep that in mind. Hopefully it won't be necessary but good to know the option exists.

Based on filing Monday, Wednesday is your most likely payment day. That's been my experience and most others I know. Fingers crossed for you!
