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 a heads up - if you do get approved, you'll need to actively search for W-2 employment to meet the job search requirements. Looking for more 1099 work won't count.
Good point. That might actually help me transition back to regular employment.
The job search requirements are pretty specific about what types of work activities qualify.
Final update: I submitted my application and it went through! Now I'm waiting to see if I have enough qualifying wages. Thanks everyone for the help and encouragement.
Fingers crossed! Your experience will definitely help other contractors who find this thread.
Good luck! The waiting is the hardest part, but hopefully you'll get good news soon.

Honestly if I were you I'd use that Claimyr service just to get peace of mind. Spent way too much time stressing about my claim status when I could have just talked to an agent.
After reading everyone's responses, I think I'm probably approved but I might try calling anyway just to be 100% sure.

International trade affects this too. Washington exports a lot of products, so global economic changes create structural unemployment even when our local economy is growing. Boeing workers know this well.
So global factors create natural unemployment locally?
Right. Trade disputes, currency changes, foreign competition - they all create unemployment that's independent of our state's economic growth.
For your paper conclusion, emphasize that natural unemployment rate varies by region. Washington state's natural rate might be different from the national average due to our industry mix and demographic factors.
Thanks for all the help everyone! This gives me a great foundation for my paper. I think I understand the concept much better now.
Good luck with your paper! Washington ESD data will give you some great real-world examples to support your economic theory.

That's what I ended up doing. Applied even though I wasn't 100% sure, and I got approved. Better to try than assume you don't qualify.
And if you run into issues or need to talk to someone at Washington ESD about your claim, services like Claimyr can help you actually get through to an agent instead of sitting on hold forever.

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.

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.
