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!

Been helping people with unemployment claims for years. The most important thing is honesty. Don't try to hide anything or embellish - Washington ESD will find out and it can disqualify you completely.
Which brings us back to the original problem - actually getting through to someone at Washington ESD to ask questions!
Yep, that's why services like Claimyr exist. Sometimes you need professional help navigating the system.
One last thing - if you think you might not qualify for regular unemployment, there might be other programs available. Don't assume you're not eligible without checking.
Thanks everyone! This has been incredibly helpful. I feel much more prepared to apply now.
Good luck with your claim! Take your time filling it out and double-check everything before submitting.

One thing to watch out for - even though there's no waiting week, if you have any issues with your claim it can take time to resolve. I had to use Claimyr to get through to someone about my job separation issue.
That's the second time someone mentioned Claimyr. Seems like it's pretty helpful for getting through to ESD.
Yeah I've heard good things about it too. Might try it if I run into any issues.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful responses! Sounds like I should expect to get paid for my first week as long as everything goes smoothly with my claim.
Exactly! Just make sure to keep filing your weekly claims and doing your job search activities. Good luck with your claim!
Hope everything works out for you!

wish someone had told me this when i got fired last year. waited almost a week because i thought there was some kind of cooling off period or something lol
Yeah the information out there is really confusing. Glad I asked here before waiting too long.
definitely. this forum has way better info than most of the official stuff
One last thing - make sure you file your weekly claims consistently even if your initial claim is still being processed. Missing weekly claim deadlines can cause payment delays even after approval.
Good to know. So I should keep filing weekly claims even if I haven't heard back about my initial application yet?
Exactly. Keep filing weekly claims as long as you're unemployed and eligible. Don't let processing delays interrupt your weekly filing schedule.

Update: I tried that Claimyr thing and actually got through to a Washington ESD agent today! They confirmed my claim status and explained what was causing the delay. Definitely worth using if you need to talk to someone.
how much does it cost? is it expensive?
They have different options but it was worth it for me since I'd been trying to call for weeks with no luck.
The good news is once you see 'not disqualified' the hard part is over. Your claim is approved and you just need to wait for the payments to start processing. Keep filing weekly and you should be all set.
Perfect! Thanks everyone for all the help. This community is amazing.
glad we could help! unemployment can be super confusing the first time
