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!

One last thing - if you're really worried about the tax bill, you could always make estimated quarterly payments now even if you're not required to. Better safe than sorry!
That's a good point. I'd rather overpay and get a refund than owe a big chunk at tax time.

When I had payment delays last year, I tried calling Washington ESD for weeks with no luck. Finally someone told me about Claimyr which actually got me through to an agent who could see what was holding up my payments. Turned out to be a simple verification issue that took 5 minutes to fix once I could talk to someone.
Overall the deposit schedule is pretty reliable - Tuesday/Wednesday after you file your weekly claim on Sunday. Just keep good records of everything and don't stress too much about the exact day as long as it's within that window.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful info! I feel much better about knowing what to expect.

One more thing - if your claim gets flagged for any reason it can delay payment even if you filed on time. Usually you'd get a notice in your account about issues that need to be resolved.
My account looks clean, no alerts or issues showing. Fingers crossed it processes normally.
If anything does come up with your claim, that's when services like Claimyr really come in handy for getting through to someone who can help resolve it quickly.
The system is pretty reliable once you're in the regular rhythm. I've been claiming for 8 months and can count on one hand the times payments were delayed unexpectedly.
That's encouraging to hear the system works consistently. Makes planning easier.
yeah washington esd has actually improved a lot compared to a few years ago

One last thing - if you do exhaust your benefits and later find work, you might be eligible for retraining programs through WorkSource if your industry has been affected by economic changes. They sometimes offer financial support during training.
That's interesting. I'll have to look into what programs are available. Maybe I could use this as an opportunity to learn new skills.
Definitely worth exploring. Some of those programs even have job placement assistance when you finish.
Thanks everyone for all the advice. This has been really helpful. I feel like I have a better understanding of what to expect and some backup options to look into. Going to start preparing now instead of waiting until the last minute.
Definitely use Claimyr to get through to Washington ESD if you need to verify anything about your benefits. Knowledge is power in this situation.
Wishing you the best. It's a tough situation but you'll get through it. Keep us posted on how things go.

One thing to watch out for - if you had any overpayments or issues with your first claim, make sure those are resolved before filing your second claim. It could delay processing.

•Oh good point. I don't think I have any issues from my first claim but I should probably double-check my account.

•If you can't access your account online or have questions about past issues, that's another situation where calling Washington ESD directly through something like Claimyr might help. They can check your account status and tell you if there are any holds.

Thanks for asking this question! I've been wondering the same thing but was too embarrassed to ask. Glad to know it's totally normal to file multiple claims.

•No need to be embarrassed! Seems like lots of people go through this, especially with how unpredictable work has been lately.
