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 want to say thanks to everyone who helped explain this process. I was really overwhelmed when I lost my job but this thread has been super helpful. Going to start my application tomorrow morning.
Good luck! Take your time with the application and don't hesitate to ask if you have more questions.
Thanks everyone! This community is amazing. I feel much more confident about filing now.

Don't forget to check if your employer contests your claim. Sometimes they'll fight it, especially if they think you were fired for cause rather than laid off. Keep documentation about why you were let go.
They said it was due to reduced orders and they had to cut staff. Should I get that in writing?
If you can get it in writing, that's great. An email or letter explaining it was a layoff due to lack of work would be helpful if they contest it.
File TODAY. Don't wait for Monday, don't wait for your final paycheck, don't wait for anything. The system is available right now and every day you wait is potentially money lost. I've been through this process three times and immediacy is key.
Good luck! Remember to file your weekly claims every week after that. Set a reminder.
And don't forget about the job search requirements from day one!

Hope your claim goes smoothly OP. Most people don't have major issues with the initial filing - it's usually later in the process where problems come up.
That's good to hear. Fingers crossed for a smooth process. Thanks again everyone for all the helpful advice!
You've got this! And you know where to find help if you need it.

Just remember the key rule: always file your weekly claims on time and report all work truthfully. Washington ESD will handle the calculations for partial benefits automatically.
Perfect summary. Keep filing, report everything, let them do the math. Got it!
One more thing - if you have questions specific to your situation, definitely try calling Washington ESD. The Claimyr thing people mentioned seems legit for actually getting through to someone.
Yeah I'll definitely look into that if I need to talk to someone directly. Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice!

Quick question - does PFML cover adoption too or just biological children?

•Yes, PFML covers adoption! You can take family leave to bond with an adopted child just like with a biological child.
