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 what it's worth, I've never had a payment just disappear from Washington ESD. If it shows paid, it's coming. Just might take an extra day or two.
That's reassuring, thank you. I'll try to be patient.
Same here, they're slow but reliable with payments.
UPDATE: Just wanted to let everyone know my payment came through this morning! Thanks for all the advice and reassurance. Guess it was just the system delays people mentioned.
Great news! Glad it worked out.
This is actually the OP - payment finally came through Thursday morning. Thanks everyone for the help!

Make sure you have your bank account information ready when you file - they'll ask how you want to receive payments. Direct deposit is fastest.
Good point! I'll have my bank info ready.
One last thing - keep detailed records of everything once you start the process. Save confirmation numbers, print out important pages, keep track of all your weekly claim submissions. If anything goes wrong later, you'll need that documentation.
Great advice! I'll start a folder for all the unemployment paperwork.
This is so important - I learned this the hard way when I had to appeal a decision and didn't have good records.

Last thing I'll add - if you end up needing to call Washington ESD for any reason and can't get through normally, definitely check out that Claimyr thing. Saved me so much frustration when I had a complicated situation with my claim.
Seems like a few people have mentioned that service. Might be worth bookmarking just in case.
Exactly. Hope you don't need it but good to know it exists if you get stuck.

Welcome to the unemployment club! The payment timing was definitely one of my biggest concerns when I started too.
Thanks! Not a club I wanted to join but glad to know there are helpful people here.
We've all been there. This community has been super helpful during my unemployment journey.

Just to circle back to the Claimyr thing someone mentioned earlier - I was skeptical at first but honestly it saved me so much time and frustration. When you're dealing with claim issues, being able to actually talk to someone at Washington ESD is huge.
