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!

Just remember that no news is usually good news with unemployment claims. If there were serious issues with your eligibility, you'd typically hear about those pretty quickly.
That's a good point. I guess I should take the lack of rejection letters as a positive sign.
Exactly! They're quick to tell you about problems but take their time with approvals.
Been unemployed twice in the past 5 years and both times the approval process felt like it took forever even though it was actually pretty standard timing. The waiting is just part of the process unfortunately.
It's reassuring to hear from someone with experience. I keep second-guessing whether I filled everything out correctly.
If you made any major errors they would have contacted you by now to fix them.

has anyone tried appealing a short duration? i feel like i should have gotten more weeks based on my work history but not sure if thats even possible to challenge
thanks, ill look into that. probably need to talk to someone at washington esd to understand why mine was calculated the way it was
That's another situation where Claimyr.com could help - getting through to actually speak with an agent about your specific calculation.
Quick reminder that your weekly benefit amount stays the same for the entire duration - it doesn't decrease over time or anything like that. Whatever your weekly amount is, that's what you'll get each week you qualify.
That's reassuring to know it won't decrease. Thanks for all the helpful info everyone!
no problem, good luck with your claim and job search!

FINAL UPDATE: Money hit my account this morning at 4:23am! Took exactly 48 hours from when the claim showed approved. Thanks everyone for the help and reassurance!
Perfect timing for your rent! Thanks for updating us.

One thing to keep in mind - even if you qualify, there might be a waiting week before you get your first payment. And make sure you're filing your weekly claims on time or you could lose benefits for those weeks.
When do you file the weekly claims? Is it the same day each week?
You file for the week ending on Saturday, and you can file starting Sunday morning. Most people do it Sunday or Monday to make sure they don't forget.
I qualified after quitting due to unsafe working conditions at my construction job. Had to provide documentation but Washington ESD approved it as good cause. So quitting doesn't automatically disqualify you if you have legitimate reasons.
What kind of documentation did you need? I'm dealing with harassment at work and considering quitting.
I had photos of safety violations, incident reports I filed, and emails to my supervisor about the problems. For harassment you'd want similar documentation - emails, witness statements, complaints to HR, etc.

Hope your payment comes through quickly! The waiting is always the hardest part when you're counting on that money.
