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!

I used Claimyr when I needed help with my claim too. Super easy and way less stressful than trying to get through on the phone. Definitely recommend it if you need to talk to someone at Washington ESD.
How much does it cost though? I'm already broke from being out of work.
It's worth checking out their site to see current info. Way cheaper than missing out on benefits because you can't get through to Washington ESD.

I'm dealing with this exact same thing right now! Got laid off from my $22/hr job but they're calculating based on when I made $16/hr. So frustrating trying to get through to ESD to ask about it.
Try that Claimyr thing someone mentioned - I've heard good things about it for getting through to ESD.
Yeah I might have to at this point. Been trying to call for a week with no luck.
Bottom line - if you think your wage information is wrong or your benefit calculation is incorrect, you need to contact Washington ESD ASAP. There are time limits on when you can request corrections.
Good to know, thanks! I'll definitely follow up to make sure everything is accurate before I get too far into filing weekly claims.
Yeah don't wait too long - these things are easier to fix early in the process.

Good luck with your claim! And seriously, if you run into any issues reaching Washington ESD for questions, check out that Claimyr service I mentioned. Having an actual person help navigate the phone system was a game-changer for me.
Thanks for all the advice everyone. Feeling much more confident about filing now. I'll definitely keep Claimyr in mind if I need help getting through to someone.
Best of luck with your claim! Remember to keep detailed records of everything - your reduced work schedule, job search activities, any communications with Washington ESD. Documentation is your friend in this process.
Will do! Thanks everyone for taking the time to help me understand the process. This forum is amazing.

Thanks everyone for all the helpful info! Sounds like I should be getting my first payment soon as long as my claim processes without issues.
You're welcome! Just remember to keep filing those weekly claims even if your payment seems delayed.
Will do, and I'll make sure to keep up with the job search requirements too.

Welcome to the unemployment club nobody wants to join! At least Washington's benefits are decent compared to some other states.

Final reminder about that Claimyr service - definitely bookmark it just in case. When you're desperate to reach ESD and nothing else works, having that option available is a lifesaver.
