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!

Just wanted to say thanks for asking this question OP. I'm in the same boat and all these answers are really helpful. Nice to know I'm not alone in this stress!
Glad I could help! It's definitely less scary knowing other people understand what we're going through.
Exactly! Good luck with your claim!
One last thing - if you do end up needing to contact Washington ESD and can't get through, that Claimyr service I mentioned earlier really does work. I was skeptical at first but it beat spending hours on hold. Just something to keep in mind if you run into roadblocks.
I bookmarked their site just in case. Hopefully I won't need it but good to have as backup!
Smart thinking. Hope everything goes smoothly for you!

Hope it goes smoothly for you! This thread will probably help a lot of other people in the same situation too.
That would be great if it helps others who are as confused as I was starting out.
And remember, if you run into any issues reaching Washington ESD for help, services like claimyr.com are there as a backup option. Sometimes having that resource available just gives you peace of mind during the process.
I'll definitely keep that in mind if I need to talk to someone at ESD. Thanks again!

Structural unemployment is definitely the hardest type to deal with because it's not just waiting for the economy to improve. You literally have to rebuild your skillset. Washington ESD programs can help but you have to be proactive about it.
Being proactive is hard when you can't get through to anyone! But I'm going to keep trying.
Don't give up. I was in structural unemployment for over a year but the retraining program completely changed my career trajectory. Now I'm in a growing field instead of a dying one.
the different unemployment types are confusing but structural is definitely when your skills don't match what's available. it's not your fault the economy changed but you do have to adapt. washington esd should help but their system is overwhelmed
Yeah it's not anyone's fault but we still have to deal with it. Thanks for the perspective.
The overwhelmed system is why services like Claimyr exist. Sometimes you need help just getting through to the right person at Washington ESD.

Two weeks in adjudication really isn't that long based on what I've seen in this forum. Some people wait 6-8 weeks. Just keep filing your weekly claims and try to be patient.
I'll try to be more patient. It's just scary when you have bills to pay and no income coming in.
I totally understand. The waiting is the hardest part. But most claims do get approved eventually if you qualify.

Final reminder for everyone: Keep filing those weekly claims even if you haven't received your first payment yet. Missing weekly claims can cause much bigger delays than the normal waiting period. Stay consistent with the process and the payments will come.

Sometimes talking to a real person is the only way to resolve complex issues with your claim.

•Yeah, having a backup plan for getting help seems really smart given how hard it is to reach them normally.
