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!

Final thought: while waiting for approval, make sure you're actively job searching and keeping records of your search activities. Washington ESD requires proof of job search efforts, and having good documentation from the start will help if they ask for it later.
Good reminder. I've been applying to jobs but haven't been keeping detailed records. Should probably start doing that.
Yes, keep a log of where you applied, when you applied, and what type of positions. Makes it much easier when you need to report your job search activities.

If you're not sure about something, it's better to ask than guess wrong. The penalties for making mistakes can be serious, especially if they think you did it on purpose.
How do I get help if I have questions? Calling seems impossible.
That's where services like Claimyr come in handy. Sometimes you really do need to talk to a person to get things sorted out properly.
One last thing - keep checking your account regularly for any messages or requests for information. If Washington ESD asks for something, respond quickly or your benefits could be delayed or stopped.
Thank you everyone for all this help. I feel much more confident about getting started now.
You're welcome! Come back if you have more questions. We've all been there.

Hope it works out smoothly for you! The first payment is always the most stressful but after that it becomes routine. Washington ESD has actually gotten pretty good with their payment processing over the last couple years.
Thank you! I'm feeling much more confident about it now. This forum has been super helpful.
This community is great for unemployment questions. Always helpful people here!
Just remember if you do run into any problems down the line, Claimyr is there to help you get through to Washington ESD without the phone hassles. I wish I had known about it earlier in my unemployment journey!
I'll definitely bookmark that for future reference. Hopefully won't need it but good to know it exists.
Yeah it's one of those things you hope you never need but glad it's there when you do

Update us when you hear back! Always curious to see how these situations resolve.
Will do! Hoping for good news in the next few days.
Fingers crossed for you! The waiting is always the hardest part.
I had success using Claimyr too when I needed to check on my adjudication status. The rep was able to give me a better timeline than what I could find online.
Maybe I should try that service if I don't hear anything by early next week.
It definitely beats sitting on hold for hours. They know exactly how to navigate the ESD phone system.

One last tip - make sure all your employer information is accurate on your application. Wrong info can cause delays or affect your benefit calculation since Washington ESD verifies everything with your past employers.
