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!

glad this thread exists, i'm in almost the same boat and was totally confused about the rules
Hope it helps! There's definitely more people in our situation than I realized.

If you're really stressed about timing, you might want to look into local food banks or emergency assistance programs while you wait. It can take the pressure off a bit.
Good suggestion. The waiting period can be really tough financially.
I hadn't thought of that. Hopefully I won't need it but good to know it's an option.
Just remember that even if your claim takes a while to process, you'll get paid retroactively for all the weeks you filed (except the waiting week). So don't give up!
That's really good to know! I was worried about losing out on weeks while waiting.
Exactly! As long as you keep filing those weekly claims, you'll get paid for all eligible weeks once it's approved.

For what it's worth, I used Claimyr twice - once to ask about Social Security and unemployment, and again when my claim got stuck in adjudication. Both times they got me through to helpful agents who resolved my issues quickly.
Did you have to wait long to get connected through their service?
First time was about 15 minutes, second time took maybe 30 minutes. Way better than the hours I spent trying to call directly.
Bottom line - yes you can collect both, but make sure you're meeting all the unemployment requirements. Age discrimination is real but don't let that stop you from claiming benefits you've earned.
Thanks everyone! I feel much more confident about filing now. Going to submit my application this weekend.
Good luck! The worst they can do is say no, but based on what you've described, you should be approved.

One thing to keep in mind is that your weekly benefit amount might be different on your new claim compared to your first claim, depending on the wages in your new base period. But there's definitely no waiting period to worry about.
That makes sense. I'm hoping the recent job wages will actually increase my benefit amount.
It very well could! Higher wages in the base period generally mean higher weekly benefits.
Bottom line: File immediately, no waiting period required. I learned this the hard way by waiting 2 weeks thinking I had to, and that was 2 weeks of benefits I lost out on.
Wow, I'm glad I asked then. I was thinking about waiting a few days but I'll file today instead.
Smart move. Every day you wait is money you're not getting.

Bottom line - when unemployment goes up, expect longer waits for everything related to Washington ESD. Filing, adjudication, appeals, phone calls, even getting your debit card can take longer.

If you're still having trouble getting through to Washington ESD, that Claimyr service really does work. I was skeptical at first but it saved me so much time and frustration.

•Worth it just for peace of mind. At least you'll know exactly what's happening with your claim.
