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: My payment just hit my account this morning (Tuesday) around 10am! Looks like for KeyBank it's Tuesday mornings. Thanks everyone for the info!
nice! yeah once u get into the regular cycle its pretty much the same day every week unless theres a holiday or u have some issue with your claim
That's great to hear about the consistency! I'm new to unemployment benefits too and was worried about the timing. Just to add for anyone else reading - I've been getting mine with Bank of America on Tuesday evenings around 6-7pm for the past month. It's been pretty reliable once you get past that initial waiting period. Also wanted to mention that if you're ever unsure about your payment status, the eServices mobile app sends push notifications when your claim status changes, which is super helpful for tracking.

Quick update suggestion: Once you do speak with ESD and resolve this, please come back and let us know what the issue was. It helps others in similar situations, and the community benefits from knowing how these situations get resolved!
I definitely will! I'm heading to WorkSource tomorrow morning, and I'll keep trying to call ESD. I'll post an update as soon as I figure anything out. Thanks everyone for all the help and suggestions!
I went through something very similar last year. My adjudication dragged on for 7 weeks with zero communication from ESD. Turns out they were waiting for my former employer to respond to a separation verification request, but my employer never got the notice (went to their old HR email). What finally broke it loose was when I called and specifically asked them to re-send the employer request to the current HR contact. Within a week after that, everything cleared and I got all my back pay. The key is finding out exactly what type of adjudication it is and whether there's action needed from a third party that might be stuck. Don't give up - keep filing those weekly claims!

Bottom line: be honest, update your address promptly, and keep filing your weekly claims. Moving states while on unemployment is completely legal as long as you follow the rules.
Thank you everyone for all the helpful advice! I feel much more confident about my move now.
Good luck with your move and job search! Oregon is a great state.
I went through this exact situation last year when I moved from Washington to Idaho while collecting unemployment. The most important thing is to be completely transparent - update your address in the system as soon as you move and always answer the location questions honestly on your weekly claims. Washington ESD doesn't automatically track your location, but they can verify it through various means if needed. I continued receiving my full benefits for the remaining duration of my claim period. Just make sure you're still actively job searching and available for work in your new location. The process is actually pretty straightforward as long as you're upfront about everything!

Quick reminder that if you get a job offer, you need to report it even if you turn it down. Washington ESD will want to know why you refused suitable work.
Good point! I haven't had any offers yet but I'll definitely report them if I do. Don't want any issues with my claim.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful information! I'm feeling much more confident about my job search requirements now. It's reassuring to know that 3 activities per week is the standard and that I'm on the right track. I'll make sure to keep detailed records in a spreadsheet like some of you suggested. Really appreciate this community - it's so much easier to get clear answers here than trying to navigate the ESD website or phone system!

Overall the card system works well. My only complaint is sometimes the customer service wait times are long, but that's probably true for most banks.

Just wanted to add that you can also set up account alerts through the ReliaCard website to get notified when payments are deposited or when your balance gets low. Really helpful for keeping track of your benefits without having to constantly check the app.
