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 after you file! I'm curious how it goes since I might need to file soon too if my hours don't pick back up.
Will do! I'll post an update once I get through the whole process.

My advice is to use the waiting time productively - job search, skill building, networking. Makes the time pass faster and you'll be in better shape when the appeal resolves.
Good point. I've been so focused on the appeal that I haven't been as active with job searching.
Yeah and if you win the appeal you'll need to meet job search requirements anyway, so might as well get started.
Just got my appeal decision after 8 weeks - I won! The back pay deposited 3 days later. Hang in there, it's worth the wait if you have a legitimate case.
Not really through regular channels, but I did use one of those callback services someone mentioned earlier to check status once.
That's awesome news. I'm at week 6 now so hopefully mine comes soon too.

This whole thread is so helpful. I'm in a similar situation - been putting off filing for about a month now. Reading everyone's experiences has given me the push I needed.
Right? Sometimes you just need to hear from people who've been there. We're all in this together.
Final thought for the OP - once you do file and get your claim established, the weekly certifications become routine. Don't stress too much about the ongoing process. The hardest part is just getting started.
Congratulations! You should hear something within a week or two. Check your online account regularly for updates.
Great job getting it done! Most people see their first payment within 2-3 weeks if there are no issues with the claim.

UPDATE: Just got the direct deposit notification! Payment came through exactly 3 business days after my claim showed as processed. Thanks everyone for the help and encouragement - this thread really helped ease my anxiety about the timing.
So glad it worked out! Now you can breathe a little easier about that rent payment.
Great to hear! The timing is pretty consistent once you know what to expect.
Glad everything worked out! For anyone still struggling with Washington ESD communication issues, definitely check out that Claimyr service. It's been a game changer for actually getting through to talk to someone when you have questions or problems.
i'm definitely going to try this if my adjudication drags on much longer. thanks for mentioning it
I watched that demo video and it actually looks pretty straightforward. Might be worth it just to get some peace of mind about my claim status.

I've been fully unemployed for 8 weeks now and starting to get really anxious about finding work. The pressure to do job search activities every week while dealing with the stress of no income is honestly overwhelming sometimes.

•I totally understand that feeling. It's a lot of pressure when you're already stressed about money.

•Hang in there! The job market is tough but keep at it. Maybe try reaching out to career counselors through WorkSourceWA - they have free services.

Pro tip for anyone new to full unemployment - set up direct deposit ASAP if you haven't already. Waiting for paper checks just adds unnecessary stress and delay to an already difficult situation.

•Good point! I did set that up when I filed. How long does it usually take for the first payment?

•Usually 2-3 business days after your claim is processed, assuming there are no issues with your claim.
