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!

If you need to contact Washington ESD during your claim process and run into phone issues, definitely check out that Claimyr service I mentioned. Made a huge difference when I needed to speak with someone about my claim status.
Appreciate the tip. Hopefully I won't need it but good to know it exists.
Final thought: Document everything related to your termination - save any texts or emails about your car problems, any responses from your employer, your termination paperwork, etc. This documentation can be valuable if your claim goes to appeal.
Smart advice. I do have some text messages I sent my manager about my car breaking down.

•Those texts could be really helpful evidence that you were communicating about the issues and not just skipping work randomly.

Thanks everyone for explaining this! I was also confused about who pays what. It's nice to know that as employees we're covered without having to track contributions ourselves.
Olivia Clark
•Definitely makes the system simpler from the employee perspective. Just have to focus on meeting the work requirements for eligibility.
Good info to have. I'll stop worrying about those paystub deductions now that I know unemployment insurance isn't one of them in Washington!
Raj Gupta
•Glad this helped clear things up for other people too! I feel much better understanding how it all works.

have you tried faxing them? I know it sounds old school but I got a response within 2 days when I faxed my documents

Listen up, because I've been through this rodeo before and I know how to wrangle these bureaucratic bulls. Here's what you need to do: • Gather ALL your employment documents. We're talking pay stubs, W-2s, offer letters, performance reviews, everything. • Write a detailed letter explaining your employment history. Include dates, job titles, and responsibilities. • Get a notarized statement from your former employer if possible. • File an appeal ASAP. There's usually a deadline, so don't drag your feet. • Keep calling and emailing. Be polite but persistent. Document every interaction. • Consider reaching out to your local state representative. They can sometimes cut through red tape. • If all else fails, look into legal aid services. Some offer free help with unemployment issues. Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Don't give up!

•This is gold 💯 Saving this for future reference!
Damn, you've really been through it. Thanks for sharing all this info!

Jamal Carter
•Deep breaths, my friend. Remember, this is just a temporary setback. Try to do something nice for yourself each day while you work through this. You got this! 💪
Honestly? I've been stress baking. Made like 5 loaves of bread this week lol. Find something to keep your hands busy!

The only people who might judge you for filing unemployment are people who have never been in that situation themselves. And their opinions don't matter anyway.

Just wanted to add that when I had trouble reaching Washington ESD about my weekly claims, Claimyr really helped me get connected quickly. Much better than spending hours on hold.
