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!

Has anyone had issues with their employer disputing their unemployment claim? Mine is saying I was fired for cause but it was really a layoff.
This is exactly when you'd want to use something like Claimyr to talk to an agent about your specific situation and make sure you understand the process.
Good point, I might need to get some guidance on handling the dispute.
Bottom line - if you were making decent money, Washington unemployment benefits can really help bridge the gap while you look for your next job. Don't be afraid to apply if you're eligible.
Agreed, sounds like it'll be worth filing for in my situation. Thanks everyone for all the helpful info!
This whole thread has been educational, glad the OP asked the question!

The Washington ESD phone system is designed to discourage people from calling. If enough people give up, it reduces their workload. It's a terrible way to run a public service.
That's a depressing way to look at it, but honestly feels true based on my experience trying to get help.
I don't think it's intentionally designed that way, but the effect is the same when the system can't handle the demand.
Update: I tried Claimyr yesterday after reading about it here and actually got connected to a Washington ESD agent in about 45 minutes. Finally got my adjudication issue resolved. Sometimes you just need to try a different approach when the regular system isn't working.
That's really encouraging to hear! I think I'm going to give it a try since nothing else has worked for me.
Glad you got your issue resolved! It's frustrating that we have to find workarounds but at least there are options.

Hope this helps everyone planning ahead. The uncertainty of not knowing your benefit amount ahead of time is stressful enough without having to decipher confusing government websites.
Absolutely. Having a rough idea of what to expect financially makes the whole situation less scary.
Knowledge is power, especially when dealing with unemployment benefits!
Last tip: keep good records of your earnings and hours worked. If there's ever a dispute about your benefit calculation, having documentation helps resolve things faster.
Great advice. I'll make sure to save all my pay stubs and tax documents.
And take screenshots of your online account showing the benefit calculation when you get approved, just in case.

One last tip - if you have any questions about your specific situation, Claimyr really is worth it. I was skeptical at first but they saved me so much time and stress dealing with ESD's phone system.
