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 more thing about the Claimyr service that was mentioned - I ended up using them too when I had an adjudication issue on my second claim. Really saved me a lot of hassle trying to get answers from Washington ESD directly. Sometimes paying a little to talk to someone who knows the system is worth it.
I'll keep that in mind if I run into any snags. Hopefully my claim will be straightforward though.
Yeah, it's nice to have that option available when the regular channels aren't working.
sounds like you've got good advice here. the key thing is just don't overthink it - if you're unemployed and meet the requirements, file the claim. there's no penalty for applying multiple times
You're right, I was probably overthinking it. Going to file this week for sure.
good plan. better to have benefits coming in while you job search than to wait around wondering about the rules

For what it's worth, I tried Claimyr when I couldn't get through to Washington ESD about my claim status. Worth every penny - saved me literally days of trying to call. The video demo on their site shows exactly how it works.
Seems like a lot of people have had good experiences with that service.
Yeah, it's pretty straightforward. They just get you connected faster than doing it yourself.

The Washington ESD phone system is set up to handle initial applications, weekly claims, and pretty much everything you can do online. Don't let anyone tell you that you HAVE to use the website. Some situations are actually better handled over the phone, especially when you have questions about how to answer certain sections.
That's reassuring. I do have several questions about how to report my work history correctly, so talking to someone might be the better option anyway.
Exactly! I had questions about reporting tips and commission and the online form didn't give enough guidance. Phone agent walked me through it perfectly.
Whatever method you choose, make sure you keep records of everything. If you file by phone, ask for a confirmation number or reference number for your application. Write down the date, time, and name of the agent you spoke with. This stuff can be important later if there are any issues with your claim.
Great advice! I'll definitely keep detailed notes of everything. Thanks for all the help everyone - I feel much better about my options now.
Yes, documentation is key with unemployment claims. I learned that the hard way when I had to appeal a decision later.

Instead of worrying about the exact amount, just file your claim. Washington ESD will calculate your benefit automatically based on your wage history. You'll know within a few days what you qualify for.

•Exactly! The application only takes like 15 minutes online. Worst case scenario you don't qualify, but at least you'll know for sure.

One last tip - when you file, Washington ESD will send you a monetary determination letter showing your exact weekly benefit amount and how they calculated it. Keep that letter safe because you'll need it for reference.

•Good luck! Remember to file your weekly claims on time once you're approved, or you'll miss out on benefits.
