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!

Final tip - if you do have to contest a claim, focus on facts not emotions. ESD adjudicators want documentation and specific incidents, not general complaints about an employee.
Good advice. Keep it professional and factual.

just chiming in to say the claimyr thing works. used it couple weeks ago when i couldn't get through about my weekly claim issue. saved me hours of calling
That settles it, I'm definitely trying it if I don't hear back soon
yeah definitely worth it when you're stuck and need to talk to someone
Hope this thread helped clarify things! The key takeaway is that Washington ESD claim processing operates independently of unemployment rates. Focus on following up on your specific case rather than worrying about economic factors.
Definitely helped! I feel much less confused about the whole situation now
Great! Good luck with getting your adjudication resolved

This thread has been really helpful. I was completely clueless about unemployment benefit amounts before reading through all these responses.
Glad we could help! The Washington ESD system can be confusing but once you understand the basics it's more manageable.
One last tip - keep detailed records of everything if you do file a claim. Job search activities, benefit payments, any correspondence with Washington ESD. It'll save you headaches if any issues come up later.
Will do, thanks for the reminder. Documentation seems to be key with any government program.
So true! I learned that lesson the hard way when I had to appeal an overpayment notice last year.

One more thing - if you're getting close to exhausting benefits, start preparing for the gap between unemployment ending and finding work. It can take longer than you expect.

•That's sobering but good advice. I should probably start applying for more jobs than I originally planned.

•Definitely start networking too. A lot of jobs aren't even posted publicly.

Bottom line - Washington state gives you a maximum of 26 weeks for regular unemployment, but your actual duration depends on your work history and earnings. No extensions available unless there's an economic emergency. Plan accordingly and don't assume you'll find work in the last few weeks.
