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!

One more thing - if you do have trouble reaching Washington ESD by phone, I can also vouch for that Claimyr service. Saved me hours of frustration when I needed to get my adjudication issue resolved. Worth checking out at claimyr.com if you get stuck.
Several people have mentioned that service now. Must be pretty helpful.
I might need to try that too. The wait times are ridiculous.

Has anyone else noticed that Washington ESD's website crashes during peak hours? I keep getting error messages when I try to file my weekly claim on Sunday evenings.
Yeah their servers can't handle the load. I file mine early Sunday morning now to avoid the rush.
This is another reason why being able to call and speak to someone is so valuable. When the website isn't working, you need alternatives. Claimyr has been a lifesaver for situations like this.

This thread is really helpful! I was in almost the exact same situation as OP - worked at one job for about 6 months, then another for 10 months before getting laid off. I was worried about not having enough work history but sounds like I should be fine. Thanks everyone!
Yeah definitely sounds like you'd qualify. The Washington ESD website has a calculator tool too if you want to estimate your weekly benefit amount.
Oh that's useful, I'll check that out!
One more thing - if you do end up needing to talk to Washington ESD about your eligibility or any other questions, I've heard good things about that Claimyr service people mentioned. My cousin used it when she had issues with her claim and said it saved her tons of time and frustration.
I'm definitely going to look into that if I run into problems. The phone system seems like a nightmare from what everyone says.
It really is. I spent literally 8 hours one day trying to get through and never talked to anyone.

One last tip - if you get denied for disability initially (which happens to most people), you can appeal while continuing unemployment if you're still able to do some work. The appeals process takes even longer than the initial application.
Good to know. I've heard most people get denied the first time anyway.
Yeah, it's unfortunately very common. Don't get discouraged if it happens - just keep appealing and documenting everything.

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.
