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!

Yeah, I only found out about it after getting frustrated myself. Now I tell everyone about it because the regular phone system is so broken.

Last thought - keep copies of everything. Your confirmation numbers, any correspondence from Washington ESD, your weekly claim confirmations. Having good records makes everything easier if issues come up later.
Great advice. I'll set up a folder on my computer for all the unemployment stuff.
Smart! I wish I'd been that organized from the start.

One last tip - if your earnings vary week to week (like if you work different hours), make sure you report the correct amount for each specific week. Don't average it out or anything like that.
Got it - report exactly what I earned each individual week. Thanks for clarifying that!

Final tip: keep records of everything - when you filed, confirmation numbers, any correspondence from Washington ESD. You'll need this information for reference and it helps if any issues come up later.
Great advice, I'll start a folder for all the unemployment paperwork
Screenshots of everything too, sometimes their system glitches and you need proof of what you submitted
I waited 4 days after my layoff because I was embarrassed about filing for unemployment. Wish I had filed immediately - those 4 days of benefits would have helped with groceries. Don't let pride get in the way of getting help you've earned.
Thanks for sharing that. I was feeling a bit embarrassed too but you're right, I paid into this system.
unemployment insurance is exactly that - insurance you paid for through your work. no shame in using it when you need it

One thing to remember is that even if you file immediately, there can still be delays if Washington ESD needs additional information or if there are questions about your separation from employment. The sooner you file, the sooner any issues can be identified and resolved.

•That makes sense. Better to get any potential problems sorted out early rather than waiting.

Final thought - don't let fear of making mistakes prevent you from filing. Washington ESD can help you correct any errors, but they can't help you if you don't file at all. The most important thing is getting your claim started as soon as possible after job loss.
