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!

This thread convinced me to finally file. I've been putting it off for 2 weeks thinking I'd find something quickly but I need to be realistic about the job market right now.
Exactly my thinking too. Better to have the safety net in place just in case.

Been getting my Washington ESD payments every Wednesday for 6 months now. Only advice is don't spend it before it hits your account - I know someone who wrote checks expecting the Wednesday deposit and got hit with overdraft fees when it was delayed once.
Oof yeah that's a expensive lesson. Always better to wait until you actually see the money

Don't forget you'll also need to register with WorkSourceWA if you do file. That's separate from the initial eligibility requirements but required to keep getting benefits.
Good point. I'll bookmark WorkSourceWA in case I need it.
Yeah, that's part of the ongoing requirements, not the initial qualification. Easy to set up though.

hope everything works out for you OP. being laid off sucks but at least Washington ESD benefits can help bridge the gap while you find something new
Appreciate the support! Definitely feeling more confident about the process now.
Just to close this out with one final piece of advice - once you do get your first benefit payment, consider setting up direct deposit if you haven't already. Much faster than waiting for a debit card or check to arrive in the mail.
Perfect timing on that tip - I'll set that up when I complete my application tonight. Thanks again everyone!

The three criteria question is usually pretty early in the application process. Once you get past that, there are more detailed questions about your work history and separation reason.

Final tip - save copies of everything you submit to Washington ESD and keep detailed records. If there are any issues later, you'll need documentation to support your case.

•This is so important. I had to reconstruct my entire job search log when Washington ESD audited me because I didn't keep good records initially.
