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!

Pro tip: if you're unsure about qualifying, the Washington ESD website has a benefit calculator that can give you an estimate. Not perfect but better than guessing.
I'll check that out, thanks!
The calculator is helpful but sometimes the actual determination is different. Still worth using though.

One last tip - write down your questions beforehand. It's easy to forget what you wanted to ask when you're in the appointment and they're going through everything quickly.
Great idea. I'll make a list of questions along with my document checklist.
Yes! Having everything written down keeps the appointment focused and ensures you get all your questions answered.
Update us after your appointment and let us know how it went! This thread has been really helpful for preparing.
Will do! Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice. Feeling much more prepared now.
Yes please update! I have an appointment coming up next month and this thread has been super informative.

Remember that holiday weeks might have different deadlines for filing weekly claims. Washington ESD usually posts notices about this but it's easy to miss.
Good point! I'll make sure to check for any holiday schedule changes.
One more thing - if you move to a different state while collecting Washington unemployment, there are special procedures you have to follow. Don't just assume you can keep filing the same way.
I'm staying in Washington but that's good to know for anyone who might need to relocate for family reasons or whatever.

Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice! I'm feeling much more confident about filing now. Going to do it this afternoon and hopefully it goes smoothly.
Good luck! Remember to keep filing those weekly claims even during the waiting week.
You've got this! And don't hesitate to ask if you run into any issues.

good luck with everything! being fired sucks but at least washington state doesn't make it impossible to get benefits like some other places
