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!

One more tip - make sure you're checking your account regularly and responding to any requests for information immediately. Sometimes Washington ESD will send you a message asking for clarification on something, and if you don't respond quickly, your claim can get stuck in limbo for weeks.
Good advice! I'll make sure to check my account daily and respond to anything they send me right away.
This is so helpful! I had no idea there were so many little things that could affect the timeline.
I actually used that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier when my claim seemed to be stuck after 4 weeks. Turns out there was a flag on my account because my previous employer had reported my termination date wrong by one day. The agent was able to fix it immediately once I explained the situation. Sometimes you just need to talk to a real person to get these things resolved.
Wow, one day difference caused a 4-week delay? These systems are really sensitive!
Right? It's crazy how something so minor can cause such a big headache. But at least it got resolved quickly once I was able to explain it to someone.

Final update from me - just wanted to confirm that my overpayment was officially reduced from $3,400 to $1,200 after I was able to speak with someone at Washington ESD through Claimyr. They found calculation errors in their system. Definitely worth exploring that option if you're stuck in phone limbo like I was.
That's amazing! You just convinced me to try that service. At this point I've got nothing to lose
Glad to hear there are actually ways to get through to them. The whole system feels so broken when you can't reach anyone
Bottom line - yes they will take your tax refund and there's not much you can do to stop it once the process starts. But if you think the overpayment is wrong, you absolutely should appeal it. Even if it takes months, it's better than paying money you don't actually owe
Thanks everyone for all the advice. I'm definitely going to appeal this and try to get through to someone who can actually help me figure out what happened
Good luck! Keep us posted on how it goes

One more thing to remember - if Washington ESD denies your initial claim, you can appeal within 30 days. Don't give up if you get a denial letter, especially if you think you were wrongfully terminated.
Good to know about the appeal option. Hopefully it won't come to that but at least I have a backup plan.
And if you need help during the appeal process, that's another time when Claimyr can be really helpful for getting through to talk to someone at Washington ESD about your case.
just file the claim already! worst case scenario they say no and you're in the same position you're in now. best case you get benefits while you look for a new job
You're absolutely right. I'm going to file online tonight. Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice!
Good luck! Hope your adjudication goes smoothly and you get approved quickly.

The key is to be patient and persistent. The system isn't perfect but it does work for most people. Don't let the negative stories online scare you from applying for benefits you're entitled to receive.

Just want to add that if you run into problems with adjudication or getting your claim processed, don't wait months hoping it resolves itself. Get help early, whether that's calling Washington ESD directly or using a service like Claimyr to help you get through to someone who can fix the issue.

•I'll definitely keep that in mind. Hopefully I won't need it but good to know the option exists.

•Exactly. Most people don't need extra help, but when you do need it, you really need it. Having a backup plan never hurts.
