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!

Remember that networking events, job fairs, and informational interviews all count as job search activities too. Don't limit yourself to just online applications - there are lots of ways to meet the requirement.
Do virtual networking events count the same as in-person ones?
Yes, virtual events count as long as they're legitimate professional networking opportunities.
Bottom line: 3 job search activities per week, document everything, and actually try to find work. Washington ESD does audit these requirements, so don't risk your benefits by cutting corners. The requirements exist for a reason and they're not that hard to meet if you stay organized.
Thanks everyone! This has been super helpful. I feel much more confident about meeting the requirements now.
Good luck with your job search! The requirements might seem annoying but they actually do help keep you focused on finding work.

thanks everyone for all the info. this thread has been really helpful for understanding the overpayment process
Agreed! I feel much less panicked about this now.
Good luck with your payment plan setup. It's really not as scary as it seems once you get it sorted out.
Update: I finally got through to Washington ESD using the claimyr service someone recommended. Set up a $60/month payment plan for my $2,800 overpayment. The representative was actually really helpful once I got connected. Thanks everyone for the advice!
Great news! Having a payment plan set up will give you peace of mind.
This gives me hope for my own situation. Maybe I should try that calling service too.

Just remember that no news is usually good news with unemployment claims. If there were serious issues with your eligibility, you'd typically hear about those pretty quickly.
That's a good point. I guess I should take the lack of rejection letters as a positive sign.
Exactly! They're quick to tell you about problems but take their time with approvals.
Been unemployed twice in the past 5 years and both times the approval process felt like it took forever even though it was actually pretty standard timing. The waiting is just part of the process unfortunately.
It's reassuring to hear from someone with experience. I keep second-guessing whether I filled everything out correctly.
If you made any major errors they would have contacted you by now to fix them.

•That's another situation where Claimyr.com could help - getting through to actually speak with an agent about your specific calculation.

Quick reminder that your weekly benefit amount stays the same for the entire duration - it doesn't decrease over time or anything like that. Whatever your weekly amount is, that's what you'll get each week you qualify.
