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!

I used Claimyr last month when I needed to get through to Washington ESD about a benefit year ending issue. Worked great - they called me back within a few hours and had me connected to an agent. Much better than the endless hold times I was experiencing before.
How exactly does it work? Do you have to give them your personal information?
You just tell them what you need to discuss with Washington ESD and they handle getting you connected. No need to share sensitive claim details with them.

I always file my weekly claim right at midnight on Sunday when it becomes available. Probably doesn't matter but makes me feel better lol
Haha I can relate to that feeling. Whatever gives you peace of mind!
I do the same thing! There's something satisfying about being first.

For anyone still having trouble reaching Washington ESD about benefit amounts, I also used Claimyr recently and it was a game changer. Being able to actually talk to someone instead of getting busy signals all day made such a difference.
I keep hearing about this service. Might have to try it if I can't get through on my own soon.
The video demo on their site really shows how much easier it makes the whole process of reaching Washington ESD.
Bottom line: your weekly benefit amount will be roughly 50% of your average weekly wage from your highest earning quarter, up to the state maximum. It's not based on your most recent paycheck or your annual salary directly.
This thread has been incredibly helpful. I think I have a much better understanding now of what to expect from Washington ESD.

If you have any issues with your account or application after submitting, that Claimyr service really is a game changer for getting through to Washington ESD. Much better than the regular phone system.
I'll definitely keep that in mind if I run into any problems. Hopefully the application goes smoothly though.
I'm sure it will! But it's good to know your options just in case.
The most important thing is that you're taking action now. Two weeks isn't too long to wait, and you'll be getting benefits soon. Just stay on top of your weekly claims once everything is approved.
Will do! Planning to set a reminder on my phone for the weekly claims so I don't forget.
Smart thinking. Consistency with those weekly claims is key to getting your payments on time.

I tried calling Washington ESD last week to confirm my payment schedule and couldn't get through after literally 3 hours of trying. Finally used that Claimyr service someone mentioned and got connected in about 45 minutes. The agent confirmed payments are weekly and also helped me understand why one of my payments was delayed.

•I was skeptical at first but when you really need to talk to someone at ESD, it's a lifesaver.

For anyone still confused: File weekly claims every Sunday, get paid weekly (usually Tuesday-Thursday), and never skip a week. That's the basic schedule. Everything else is just details and potential delays.
