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!

Update us when you get your payment! I'm curious to see how long it actually takes. These timelines help other people know what to expect.
Will do! I'll post back here once I see the money in my account.
Yes please update! I'm filing my claim next week and want to know what timeline to expect.
The waiting is brutal but try to stay positive. Washington ESD has gotten much better at processing payments compared to a few years ago. Your money is coming!
Thanks for the encouragement! I'm trying to stay patient but it's tough when you're counting every dollar.
I feel you. Been there myself and know how stressful it is. But based on what you're describing, everything sounds normal.

The biggest improvement is probably the real-time updates. In the old system, you'd submit paperwork and have no idea what was happening until you got a letter weeks later. Now you can log into SAW and see exactly where your claim stands.
Yeah, even though my claim is stuck in adjudication, at least I can see that status online instead of wondering what's happening.
Exactly. The transparency is so much better now, even if the processing times still aren't ideal.
Overall I think we're much better off now despite the problems. The old system was slow, inconvenient, and you had no visibility into what was happening with your claim. At least now we have options like online filing, real-time status updates, and services like Claimyr to help when you need to reach an agent.
Thanks everyone for the perspective! Makes me feel better about dealing with my current adjudication issue knowing how much worse it used to be.
Same here. I'm definitely going to try Claimyr to get through to someone about my claim status.

if anyone else needs help with Washington ESD questions, that claimyr thing actually worked for me too. got through to someone in like 20 minutes instead of spending hours calling
20 minutes?? I've been trying to call Washington ESD for my adjudication issue for 3 weeks straight
yeah check out their demo video, shows exactly how it works. way better than the runaround I was getting before
Both programs also coordinate with other benefits. UI affects things like food stamps, workers comp can affect disability benefits. Important to understand how they interact with other assistance programs.
Right, it's all connected. Washington ESD benefits count as income for most other programs.
Wow, there's so much more to this than I realized. Thanks for all the insights everyone!

The thing about unemployment amounts is they vary so much based on your work history. My friend gets $612 weekly while I only get $298, but she was making way more than me at her corporate job. The system seems pretty fair in that regard.
Yeah it's proportional to what you earned and paid into the system. Makes sense that higher earners get higher benefits.
True, though it still sucks when you're on the lower end trying to make ends meet.
Just wanted to add that if anyone is having trouble getting through to Washington ESD about their benefit amounts or claim issues, that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier really works. Used it last week when my payment was held up and finally got to talk to someone who could fix the problem. Worth checking out their demo video to see how it works.
Good to hear another success story. Might be worth trying if I run into issues with my claim.
Definitely beats spending hours on hold just to get disconnected. Made the whole process way less frustrating.

I used Claimyr when I had questions about my partial claim too. Really helped clarify some confusing stuff about how they calculate benefits when you're working reduced hours. Worth checking out if you need to actually talk to someone at Washington ESD.

•How quickly did they get you connected? I've been trying to call for weeks.

•Maybe an hour or two? Way faster than trying to call on my own. The video demo on their site shows exactly how it works.

Just remember that partial unemployment is meant to be temporary assistance while you're looking for more work. It's not a long-term solution, but it can definitely help bridge the gap when your hours are cut.

•Absolutely. I'm hoping this is just temporary until business picks up again at my job.
