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!

Make sure you keep filing your weekly claims even during adjudication. Don't want to miss any weeks.
Yes, I've been keeping up with those. Just frustrating not getting paid while they review whatever they're reviewing.

This thread was really helpful. I had no idea there was an age requirement for unemployment. Good thing I didn't waste time trying to file for my 16-year-old who just lost his job.
Glad it helped! It's one of those things that isn't widely advertised but definitely affects people.

Remember you also need to start doing your job search activities right away even if your claim is still being reviewed. Washington ESD requires you to be actively looking for work to qualify for benefits.
I think it's 3 job search activities per week minimum. Could be applications, networking events, job fairs, etc. Keep good records of everything you do.
Make sure you register with WorkSource too. That's usually one of the requirements Washington ESD has.
The whole process is honestly easier than people make it sound. I was terminated for attendance issues and still got approved after adjudication. As long as you're honest and cooperative, Washington ESD is pretty fair about these things.
That's reassuring. I've been reading horror stories online and getting really anxious about the whole thing.
Don't believe everything you read online. Most people only post when they have problems, not when things go smoothly.

One more thing - if you end up needing to file a new claim later and had issues with your previous claim, that Claimyr service might be helpful for getting those resolved quickly with Washington ESD.
Yeah, dealing with Washington ESD phone system is nightmare fuel. Any service that can help with that is probably worth it.

I had a weird situation where I thought I was done at 26 weeks but then Washington ESD said I had additional weeks available due to some calculation error. Anyone else experience something like that?

•That can happen if there was an error in your initial monetary determination. Washington ESD sometimes has to recalculate benefits if they discover additional wages in your base period.

•That might be what happened. I had worked for two different companies and maybe they didn't catch all my wages initially.

Bottom line: 26 weeks is the standard maximum, use them wisely, keep detailed job search records, and don't panic if you haven't found something by week 20. But definitely have a backup plan ready.

•Agreed. Way more useful than trying to decipher the Washington ESD website on your own.

•If you do need to talk to Washington ESD directly about your specific situation, that Claimyr service mentioned earlier might save you some headaches. I used it when I had questions about my benefit calculation and it was much easier than the regular phone system.
