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!

That's great! Remember to keep checking your online account regularly for any updates or requests for additional information. And don't forget to file your weekly claims even while you're waiting for the initial decision.
Will do. I really appreciate everyone taking the time to help me understand this process.

I used Claimyr earlier this year when I had questions about my extended benefits and it was really helpful. Sometimes you just need to talk to an actual person at Washington ESD to get clarity on your situation. The video demo they have explains exactly how their service works.
That's the third recommendation for that service. I think I need to check it out - anything to avoid the Washington ESD phone maze.
Exactly! The peace of mind from getting accurate information directly from Washington ESD was worth it for me. No more guessing about requirements.
One last thought - consider expanding your geographic search if you're able to relocate or work remotely. Sometimes the best opportunities are in markets you hadn't considered. Remote work has opened up a lot of possibilities in IT.
I've been limiting myself to local positions but remote work could definitely expand my options. Thanks for all the suggestions everyone - this thread has been really helpful!
Glad we could help! Remember that finding a job is often a numbers game combined with the right strategy. Keep refining your approach and stay persistent.

The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis also has great charts and graphs of Washington unemployment data if you need visuals for your presentation. Their FRED database is really user-friendly.
Perfect! Visuals would definitely help make my presentation more engaging.
Yeah, you can customize the charts and download them in different formats. Really convenient.
Just wanted to follow up - I found all the Washington ESD unemployment statistics I needed using the suggestions here. Thanks everyone! The BLS data combined with Washington ESD's detailed breakdowns gave me exactly what I needed for my presentation.
Glad we could help! How did your presentation go?
Really well! Having current, accurate numbers made a big difference in the credibility of my analysis.

The most important thing is to file your weekly claims every week even if you're not sure about something. Missing a week can cause delays or gaps in your benefits.
When do you file weekly claims? Is there a specific day?
You can file starting Sunday for the previous week and you have until Saturday to file. I always do mine on Sunday morning so I don't forget.

The percentage thing is misleading because it's not based on your last paycheck. My friend thought she'd get half her salary and was shocked when her benefits were way less because she'd only been working at higher wages for a few months.

•Yeah, this is why the base period calculation catches people off guard. It's looking back further than most people expect.

Bottom line - most people get between 40-50% of their average weekly wage, but it really depends on your specific situation. The online calculator is your best bet for an accurate estimate.
