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!

UPDATE: I tried the federal tax ID from my W-2 and that worked! The system found my employer right away. Thanks everyone for the suggestions, especially about checking the EIN. My claim is finally submitted.
Awesome! I'm glad my suggestion helped. It's crazy how such a small detail can hold up your whole claim.
Perfect! Now you shouldn't have any more issues with the employer identification. Make sure to file your weekly claims on time going forward.

This thread helped me understand the system better. Filed my claim yesterday and feel more confident about the process now. Thanks everyone!
Glad it helped! Good luck with your claim.
final thought - if you're worried about running out of benefits before finding work, start networking and applying early in your benefit period. don't wait until week 20 to get serious about the job search
Smart advice. I'm already updating my resume and reaching out to contacts.
wish someone had told me that. ended up scrambling in my last few weeks of benefits

final advice - when you talk to washington esd (whether on phone or in writing) be respectful and professional. getting defensive or angry will not help your case even if you feel justified
Good reminder. I'm pretty frustrated about the whole situation but I'll keep it professional.
Easier said than done when they're asking you to justify losing your job, but you're right.

Just wanted to follow up on the Claimyr recommendation - I ended up using it again this week when I had a question about my job search requirements and was able to speak with a Washington ESD representative within about 30 minutes. Much better than the hours I used to spend trying to get through on my own.

•I've been hesitant to try services like that but if it actually works it might be worth it. The regular phone system is basically unusable.

Thanks everyone for all the help! I was able to successfully file my weekly claim using the steps you all provided. The eServices section was exactly where I needed to go. I'll definitely set up a weekly reminder so I don't forget to file on time.
