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!

Update us when your back pay comes through! Always good to hear success stories.
Will do! Feeling much more confident now that I know what to expect.
Yeah these update posts help other people in similar situations too.
One last thing - if you need help getting through to Washington ESD about any back pay issues, that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier actually worked for me too. Worth checking out if you get stuck.
I'll keep that in mind if I run into any problems. Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice!
Good luck with everything! The back pay should definitely come through for you.

Final advice: be patient but proactive. Check your account daily, respond to any requests immediately, keep filing weekly claims, and if you haven't heard anything after 4 weeks, definitely try to reach out to Washington ESD directly. Most claims do get approved eventually, it just takes time to work through the system.
Thank you so much everyone! This has been really helpful. I feel much better knowing what to expect and what I need to do while I wait.

Don't forget you also have to be able and available for full-time work. If your part-time schedule conflicts with potential full-time opportunities, that could be an issue.
Good point! My part-time job is pretty flexible though, so I think I'll be okay there.
Yeah flexibility is key. If you can't take a full-time job because of your part-time schedule, that's when you might run into problems.
The weekly claim process is pretty straightforward once you get used to it. Just answer honestly about your work hours and earnings. The system calculates everything automatically.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful responses! I feel much more confident about filing now.
Good luck! The partial benefits really help while you're job searching.

One last tip - make sure you have direct deposit set up in your account if you haven't already. Once you're approved, that'll speed up getting your first payment.
Good reminder! I set that up when I first filed but I'll double-check it's correct.
Yeah, direct deposit is way faster than waiting for a debit card to arrive.

Good luck OP. The system is frustrating but there are usually specific fixable issues behind these patterns of denials.
