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!

For current unemployment claims, focus on regular UI through Washington ESD. The application process is more established and there's better guidance available since it's been around forever.

•Good advice. I guess I need to look into getting some traditional employment to build up eligibility for regular UI.
Even part-time W-2 work can help you qualify, as long as you're earning enough to meet the base period requirements.
Bottom line - PUA was a pandemic program that ended in 2021. If you have questions about old PUA claims, you'll need to contact Washington ESD directly. For future unemployment needs, focus on qualifying for regular UI benefits.

Exactly how I was feeling! This thread definitely helped calm my nerves about the whole process.

Bottom line - you worked 2 years, got laid off through no fault of your own, and made decent wages. You're eligible. Stop worrying and just apply already!
You're right. I'll apply tomorrow morning. Thanks for the reality check!

Yeah but you have to get approved before you start the training. Can't just enroll in school and then ask for it.

One more tip - if you're having any issues with your claim status or need to talk to someone at Washington ESD about adjudication or anything else, that Claimyr service people mentioned earlier is legit. I was skeptical at first but it really does help you get through to an actual person instead of waiting on hold forever.

Summary for anyone else who's confused: File every Sunday through Saturday for the previous week. System opens Sunday 6 AM. Don't miss the Saturday deadline. Report all work. Keep job search records. Easy once you get the hang of it!
