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 add that if you end up needing to appeal a decision or have complex issues with your claim, you might want to look into getting help from someone who knows the system. I used Claimyr when my claim got denied initially and they helped me understand the appeal process. Ended up getting approved after all.

0 coins

Hopefully I won't need to appeal anything, but good to know there are options if things get complicated.

Yeah, hopefully everything goes smoothly for you. Just keep that in your back pocket in case you need it.

One last thing - make sure you have all your employer information ready when you file. You'll need company names, addresses, dates of employment, and reason for separation. Having it all organized makes the application process much faster.

Thanks for all the helpful advice everyone! I feel much more confident about filing now. Sounds like it's definitely worth doing.

Yes! You can elect to have 10% federal tax withheld when you file your weekly claims. Saves you from a big tax bill later.

0 coins

Exactly. Much easier to handle it weekly than get hit with a big bill in April.

If you really need to talk to someone at Washington ESD about your adjudication, I'd suggest trying Claimyr. They got me connected when I was having similar issues and the agent was able to explain exactly what was holding up my claim.

A few people have mentioned that service now. I might have to look into it if this drags on much longer.

The video demo on their site shows exactly how it works if you want to check it out first. Much less stressful than trying to call yourself.

Bottom line: there's no such thing as cynical unemployment in Washington ESD terminology. Your adjudication will get resolved eventually, just keep filing your weekly claims and try to be patient with the process.

Thanks everyone for clearing that up and for all the advice. I feel much better knowing I didn't miss some important term or category.

Glad we could help! The unemployment system is confusing enough without worrying about terms that don't exist.

And remember, if you do need to contact Washington ESD for any reason during your claim, services like Claimyr can save you a lot of frustration trying to get through their phone system. Just keep it in mind if you run into issues later.

I'll definitely bookmark that site just in case. Thanks again everyone!
