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!

Last piece of advice - if you have trouble reaching Washington ESD for any reason, seriously consider Claimyr. I know I've mentioned it before but it saved me so much frustration. Sometimes you just need to talk to a real person and their regular phone system is impossible.
I'll definitely remember that option. Sounds like it could be really helpful if I run into any roadblocks.
I second the Claimyr recommendation. Used them when I had an issue with my weekly claim and they got me through to someone who fixed it right away.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice! I feel much more confident about the process now. I'll file my claim as soon as my last day of work and keep all my documentation organized. Really appreciate this community.
Good luck with everything! The job market is tough but unemployment benefits will help bridge the gap while you search.
You've got this! The process is pretty straightforward and you have all the info you need now.

One more tip - keep records of everything moving forward. Save emails, take screenshots, document phone calls. You never know what might be helpful if there are any issues with your claim.
Great advice. I'm going to start a folder with all my documentation today.

Good luck with your appeal! Sounds like you have a solid case. The waiting is horrible but try to stay positive.
Thank you! This thread has been really helpful and encouraging. At least I know what to expect now.

For what it's worth, I tried using one of those third-party calling services too when I couldn't get through to Washington ESD. Cost me like $20 but saved hours of my time and frustration. Sometimes it's worth paying for convenience.

•It was Claimyr - same one others mentioned. Worked great, got connected within an hour instead of spending days trying myself.

Just wanted to add that if you're approved for partial benefits, you'll need to report your part-time earnings every week when you file your weekly claim. Be precise with the amounts!
