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!

Exactly right about asking for help. Sometimes that means using services like Claimyr to actually reach someone at Washington ESD when the phones are jammed.

remember to check your spam folder for emails from Washington ESD. Almost missed an important message about my claim because it went to spam.

This is good perspective. The system has been through recessions before and keeps working.

Just want to add that the unemployment definition can get tricky with contract work or gig economy jobs. Washington ESD has specific rules for those situations too.

Yeah, I do some freelance work on the side. Does that affect my unemployment status?

You'll need to report all earnings, but it doesn't necessarily disqualify you from partial benefits as long as you're still seeking regular employment.

Thanks everyone for all the explanations. I feel much more confident about filing my claim now. The Washington ESD definition seemed scary at first but it's actually pretty straightforward once you break it down.

Just remember to keep filing your weekly claims continuously and maintain your job search activities. The transition between benefit years should be seamless if you do everything right.

For anyone still reading this - yes it's Wednesday, yes it's consistent, and yes you'll get used to the routine. Been on UI for 8 months now and Wednesday deposit is as reliable as clockwork.
