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!

Just wanted to mention that if you need to contact Washington ESD for any reason during this process, claimyr.com has been a lifesaver for actually reaching someone. The phone system is still pretty overwhelmed and this helps you get through to an actual person when you need answers.
I'm seeing this mentioned a few times in this thread. Definitely going to bookmark it in case we need it.
Yeah it's one of those things you hope you never need but are glad to know about just in case.
The economic uncertainty is real but try not to let it paralyze you. People are still getting hired every day, even in tough times. Your husband's experience and skills don't disappear just because the job market is challenging. Stay positive and keep moving forward.
Thank you for the encouragement. It's easy to get caught up in all the negative news and forget that people do still find jobs.
This is such a good reminder. The news focuses on the bad stuff but doesn't report on all the people who quietly find work and move on with their lives.

Good luck with your application! The first time is always nerve-wracking but you'll get through it. The important thing is to file as soon as possible and keep up with your weekly claims.
Thank you everyone for all the help! I feel much more confident about starting the process now.
You're welcome! Feel free to come back if you have more questions during the process.
Actually, I should mention that if you do get stuck trying to reach Washington ESD by phone, that Claimyr service really does work. I was skeptical at first but it saved me so much time and frustration. You can check out their demo video to see how it works.
I might have to try that if I run into problems. The phone system sounds like a nightmare.
It really is. Between the busy signals and getting disconnected, it can take days to reach anyone. Having a reliable way to get through makes a huge difference.

For anyone dealing with Washington ESD phone issues, I finally got through using that Claimyr service someone mentioned. It's legit and saved me so much time. Just wanted to confirm it actually works since I was skeptical at first.
Thanks for the update! Good to hear from multiple people that it works. I'll definitely keep that in mind if I need to call Washington ESD.
Used it yesterday and got through in about 15 minutes. Wish I had known about this months ago!
Original poster here - thanks everyone for all the detailed info! Really helpful to know it's 26 weeks standard and understand all the rules. Feeling much more prepared now if I do end up needing to file. This community is great for getting real answers.
Glad we could help! Remember to file as soon as possible if you do get laid off - there's no benefit to waiting and you want to get your claim started right away.
Definitely file immediately if you need to. And keep all your documentation organized from the start - makes everything easier down the road.

The most important thing is being honest on all your forms and applications. Don't try to hide one benefit from the other agency - there's no need to and it could cause problems down the road.

•Absolutely. I plan to be completely transparent with both agencies about my situation.
