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 remember to keep documenting everything - your hour reduction notice from your employer, your pay stubs showing the decrease, any communication about the change. This helps if there are any questions about your claim later.
That's smart advice. I'll make sure to save all that stuff.
Organization really helps with unemployment claims. Keep everything in one folder so you can find it quickly if needed.
Also wanted to mention that Claimyr thing again - I was skeptical at first but it really did help me get through to Washington ESD when I needed to check on my claim status. Sometimes paying for that kind of service is worth it when you're already struggling financially and need answers fast.
How does it actually work? Do they just keep calling for you or something?
From what I understand, they handle the calling process and get you connected to an agent. Check out their demo video to see exactly how it works - the link was posted earlier in this thread.

One last tip - set up direct deposit if you can. The debit card option works but direct deposit is usually faster and more reliable for getting your weekly payments.
Can I change to direct deposit later if I initially choose the debit card?
Yes, you can change your payment method in your online account after your claim is approved.

The key is to be patient but persistent. Keep filing your weekly claims, respond to any requests for information immediately, and don't be afraid to call if something seems wrong. The system works but it takes time.
Thank you everyone for all the advice! I feel much better about the process now. Going to keep filing weekly and try to be patient.
You got this! We've all been through the waiting game. It gets easier once you know what to expect.
One more thing - if you do end up needing to call Washington ESD and can't get through, that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier really does work. I was skeptical at first but ended up using it twice to get claim issues resolved. Way better than spending entire days trying to get through on your own.
I keep seeing people mention this service. Might have to check it out if my claim doesn't update soon.

Been following this thread and it's clear technology unemployment is a real issue we need to address systematically. Individual solutions aren't enough when entire job categories are disappearing.

•Agreed. This affects all of us eventually. We need policy solutions, not just personal adaptation strategies.

•At least we have unemployment benefits to help during transitions. Imagine dealing with this without any safety net at all.

Update on my situation - finally got through to Washington ESD and they confirmed my benefits. The agent said technology-related layoffs are becoming more common but don't affect eligibility as long as you meet the other requirements.
