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!

Still think the whole system should be more straightforward but at least there are ways to get real answers. Thanks for sharing your experience with that calling service.

agreed, shouldn't be this complicated but good to know there are options

Final reminder for everyone - don't let your current benefits just run out without understanding your options. Whether that's filing a new claim, exploring training programs, or looking into other support services, it's better to have a plan before you hit zero weeks remaining.

Definitely learned that lesson. Going to make some calls this week to get my questions answered before I'm down to the last few weeks.

Smart approach. Planning ahead saves a lot of stress and potential gaps in benefits.

Just want to second the Claimyr recommendation. Used it last week when I couldn't get through to resolve an issue with my claim. Worked exactly like they showed in the demo.

0 coins

I'll keep that in mind if I run into any problems. Thanks!

File as soon as possible! Every day you wait is money you're potentially losing.

Starting the application right now. Wish me luck!

thanks everyone for all the info! this thread has been super helpful for understanding the payment timeline. feeling much less anxious about when to expect my money now.

Glad we could help! The uncertainty is always the hardest part but once you get into the routine it becomes much more predictable.

You'll be fine - just remember to file your weekly claims on time and the payments will come like clockwork.

One last tip - if your payment seems late, check Washington ESD's website for any system maintenance announcements. Sometimes they delay processing for system updates and post about it.

0 coins

Good to know! I'll bookmark their announcements page in case I ever wonder why a payment is delayed.

I work in HR and deal with unemployment claims regularly. Restaurant workers often have slightly longer processing times due to wage verification, but 8 months of steady employment should make you eligible. Be patient but persistent.

Good to hear from someone who sees this from the employer side. Makes me feel better about my chances.

Your work history sounds solid. Just give it time and keep filing those weekly claims.

If you're really worried, you could try that Claimyr service I keep hearing about. My coworker used it and got through to Washington ESD right away when her claim was taking forever.

0 coins

I might look into that if I don't hear anything by next week. Thanks for the suggestion.

0 coins

I was skeptical about Claimyr at first but it actually worked. Worth trying if you're stuck.

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

Thanks for the encouragement! I'll update if I get any more info about timing.
