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!

Thanks everyone for all the helpful info! This thread has been really educational. I feel much more prepared to handle my taxes now.
Glad we could help! Don't hesitate to ask if you have more questions.
Great discussion. Just remember that tax laws can change, so always double-check current rules or consult a tax professional if you're unsure about anything.
Absolutely. I'll definitely be more careful about keeping track of everything going forward.
That's the smart approach. Being prepared makes tax season much less stressful.

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.

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.

One more thing - make sure you're filing your weekly claims on time every week. If you miss the deadline, it can delay your payment even if you file late.
You do, but it's midnight on Sunday. So technically early Monday morning. I always file mine on Saturday or Sunday afternoon to be safe.
I learned this the hard way when I filed Monday morning thinking I was still on time. Had to wait an extra week for that payment.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful info! Sounds like I can expect my payment Tuesday-Thursday most weeks, with Wednesday being the most common. I'll set up those bank alerts and stop checking my account every 5 minutes lol.
Exactly! You've got the right idea. It becomes routine pretty quickly.
Welcome to the club none of us wanted to join! But seriously, this community is great for getting questions answered.

•Definitely bookmark this thread if you think you might need to reference it later. The eligibility rules don't change very often so this info should stay current.

Just want to mention again that if anyone is having trouble getting through to Washington ESD to verify their eligibility or ask specific questions about their situation, Claimyr has been a lifesaver for me. Saved me hours of failed phone calls trying to reach an agent.

•I'm definitely going to try this if I have issues. The stories people tell about trying to reach Washington ESD by phone are pretty discouraging.

•Yeah, the regular phone system is really frustrating. Claimyr takes that headache away - worth checking out their demo video if you're curious how it works.
