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!

And remember that even if there are delays, you'll get backpay for all the weeks you were eligible, so you won't lose money just because of processing delays.
That's probably the most reassuring thing I've heard. Thanks!
Exactly right. The waiting is stressful but you'll get everything you're owed once it's approved.
Last suggestion - if you run into any roadblocks or your claim gets stuck, don't waste weeks trying to call Washington ESD directly. Services like Claimyr exist for a reason and can save you a lot of time and stress.
I'll definitely keep that in mind if I need it. Hopefully everything goes smoothly but good to have a backup plan.
Trust me, having that option available makes the whole process less anxiety-inducing.

honestly the waiting is the worst part. try not to stress too much about things you can't control. if you file everything correctly and on time, you should be fine
Thanks everyone for all the help! I feel much more confident about filing now.
You're welcome! Come back and update us once you get your first payment.
Last piece of advice - if you need to reach Washington ESD by phone and keep getting disconnected, that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier really does work. I was skeptical but ended up using it when I had issues with my weekly claim certification.
How much does something like that cost? I'm already broke from being unemployed.
It's worth checking out their website for current info. For me, getting through to resolve my issue quickly was worth it versus losing weeks of benefits.

One last tip - take screenshots of your account pages showing your claim information. If there are any issues later, having that documentation can be really helpful when you need to contact Washington ESD.
Smart idea! I'll start doing that just in case.
Yeah definitely keep records of everything. The unemployment system can be unpredictable and you want proof of what your account showed and when.
Hope this all works out for you! The waiting and uncertainty is really stressful but most claims do get approved eventually. Just gotta be patient with their slow processing times unfortunately.
Thanks everyone! This thread has been incredibly helpful and I feel much less anxious about the whole process now.
Good luck! Come back and update us when you get your determination letter.

Been there, done that. Working part-time while on unemployment is totally doable if you're careful about reporting. Just don't try to cut corners or hide anything.
Thanks for all the advice everyone! I feel much more confident about taking this part-time job now.
Good luck! Just remember to report everything accurately and you should be fine.

I spent my entire morning trying to get through yesterday and got nothing. This is why people end up using services like Claimyr - the regular system is just broken.

Update: I just got through using normal calling after trying for 2 weeks! Called at 10:30am on a Tuesday and waited on hold for about 45 minutes but finally talked to someone. Don't give up!
