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!

If your benefit seems wrong, don't wait to question it. I waited 6 weeks before contacting ESD about an error and it took forever to get it fixed retroactively.
How did you finally get it resolved? Did you have to appeal or just call them?
I had to call and provide documentation. Took multiple calls but they eventually corrected it and paid me the back pay I was owed.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful info! I'm going to check my monetary determination against my pay stubs and if there are discrepancies, I'll try using Claimyr to get through to an ESD agent. This thread has been super helpful.
Good luck! Hope you get it sorted out quickly.

Update us on how it goes OP! Would be helpful to know the outcome for others in similar situations.
Will do! I'll post an update once I hear back from Washington ESD.
Looking forward to hearing how it turns out!

Just to follow up on my earlier comment about Claimyr - I ended up using them again last month when I had issues with my weekly claim certification. Really helped cut through the phone tree confusion and got me to someone who could actually help with my specific issue.
I'm definitely going to check that out. This thread has been super helpful in understanding the process, but it sounds like getting to the right person is still the biggest challenge.
Exactly. Understanding the process is half the battle, but actually reaching the right department is the other half. Good luck with your claim!

Just saw this thread and wanted to add that I finally got approved after 7 weeks. Turned out my previous employer initially contested the claim but then withdrew their objection. Never got any notification about the contest until I specifically asked about it.
Wow, that's concerning that they don't notify you about contests. How did you find out?
Only found out when I finally got through to an agent who could see the full case history. Definitely worth getting someone on the phone if possible.

My friend thought she didn't need to job search during furlough and got her benefits cut off. Had to appeal and everything. Don't risk it - just do the searches.

•Appeals take forever too. Much easier to just follow the rules from the start.

•Definitely not worth the risk. I'll stick to the job search requirements.

Been furloughed twice in the last 3 years and learned this the hard way. Washington ESD doesn't care about your employment status - if you're claiming benefits, you follow all the rules. Period.

•Yep, learned the same lesson. They're not flexible about exceptions.
