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!

Thanks everyone for all this info! I feel much more prepared now. Going to gather everything together and file my claim this weekend.
Feel free to come back and ask if you run into any issues. Lots of helpful people here.
Yes, this thread has been super helpful. Thanks to everyone who shared their experience!
And remember, if you need to talk to an actual person at Washington ESD about your claim, claimyr.com is there to help. Much better than spending hours on hold!
I might need to try that if I have problems. Good to know it's an option.
Yeah, it's a lifesaver when you actually need to speak with someone. Highly recommend it.

Good luck with your claim! The restaurant industry has been hit hard lately so hopefully you'll find something soon.
Thanks! I'm optimistic about finding another position. There seem to be a lot of openings right now.
One last tip - if your claim gets approved, sign up for direct deposit right away. Paper checks take forever to arrive and can get lost in the mail.
Will do! Thanks for all the advice everyone. This community is really helpful.
Agreed! Much better than trying to navigate the Washington ESD website alone.

The most important thing is to file your weekly claims every single week, even if your payment is delayed or you're waiting for adjudication. If you miss filing a weekly claim, you lose that week of benefits forever - there's no going back and claiming it later.
That's really important to know. I'll make sure to file every week no matter what.
Exactly right. The weekly claim filing is the most critical thing to remember. Set a reminder on your phone if you need to.
Based on your hourly wage, you should qualify for a decent benefit amount. The key is staying patient with the process and not getting discouraged if there are delays. Washington ESD processes thousands of claims so sometimes things take longer than expected, but most legitimate claims do get approved eventually.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice! I feel much more prepared to file my claim now. Really appreciate this community.

The whole system is confusing but honestly once you get your claim established and figure out the weekly filing routine, it's not too bad. The hardest part is just getting started and making sure you meet all the initial requirements.

One last thing - make sure you're prepared for the identity verification process. Washington ESD has gotten really strict about ID verification since all the fraud issues a few years ago. Have your driver's license, Social Security card, and some recent pay stubs ready.

•Good to know! I have all those documents so I should be set. Hopefully the whole process goes smoothly.

•The ID verification usually happens pretty quickly if you have all the right documents. It's when people have missing or unclear documentation that claims get stuck in adjudication for weeks.
