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!

yeah this forum has been super helpful when i had questions too. way better than trying to navigate the washington esd website alone!
Agree! The official website has the info but sometimes you need real people to explain what it actually means.

If you do get stuck in adjudication or need to talk to Washington ESD about your specific situation, I had good luck with that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier. Sometimes you just need to talk to a real person to get things sorted out properly.
I'll keep that in mind if I run into issues. Hopefully the application process goes smoothly!
Fingers crossed for you! Having that backup option is nice peace of mind though.
This whole discussion has been really eye-opening! I had no idea people with disabilities could get unemployment benefits. Learn something new every day on these forums.
Same here! I almost didn't apply because I thought I'd be automatically disqualified.
Yeah, there's a lot of misinformation out there. Good thing we have knowledgeable people here to set the record straight.

One more tip - dress professionally even though it's just an administrative meeting. First impressions matter and you want to show you're taking this seriously.
That's a great point. I was just planning to wear casual clothes but I'll dress up a bit.
You don't need a suit or anything, just business casual shows respect for the process.

Just want to add - if you ever have issues with payments or need to talk to someone at Washington ESD urgently, that Claimyr service really does work. I was skeptical at first but it saved me hours of calling. Worth checking out if you get stuck.
How does it work exactly? Do you still have to wait on hold?
Nah, they handle the calling for you. You just tell them what you need help with and they get you connected to the right person at Washington ESD. Super convenient.
UPDATE: Just wanted to let everyone know my payment came through this morning (Wednesday) at 6:47 AM! Thanks everyone for the reassurance and timeline info. Really helped calm my nerves.
Perfect timing! Told you it would be Wednesday morning. Glad you can pay your rent now.
So happy for you! The first payment is always the scariest. It gets much easier from here.

restaurant workers unite! lol but seriously, make sure you report any cash tips you got that weren't on your paystubs. they can verify that stuff and it could delay your claim

•All my tips were reported through the restaurant's POS system, so I think I should be okay on that front.

The key is just being patient and following the process. File your weekly claims every week, do your job searches, and respond to any requests for information quickly. Most claims get approved without major issues.
