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!

If you run into issues after filing and need to speak with someone, I had luck using Claimyr when I couldn't get through on the phone. They handle all the calling and waiting, then patch you through when an agent answers. Check out their demo video to see how it works.
How much does something like that cost? Seems like it might be expensive.
It's actually pretty reasonable considering how much time it saves. Way better than spending entire days trying to get through on your own.

I had a friend who used Claimyr when he was having trouble getting updates on his unemployment claim status. He said it was worth every penny because he was able to get answers instead of just wondering what was happening. Sometimes it's worth paying a little to save your sanity, especially when you're already stressed about being unemployed.
I'm definitely going to keep that option in mind. The stress of not knowing what's happening would probably be worse than paying for help.
I looked at their website and the video demo actually shows exactly how it works. Pretty clever system.
Bottom line: file your claim, be honest, and don't assume you'll be denied just because you were fired. Washington ESD sees these cases all the time and they're pretty good at distinguishing between misconduct and performance issues. You've got this!
You're welcome! Come back and let us know how it goes. Good luck!
Wishing you the best of luck with your claim. You deserve support while you're looking for new work.

One more thing to consider: even though there's no limit on filing, make sure you're genuinely looking for work during each claim period. Washington ESD does monitor job search activities and you could get disqualified if you're not actively seeking employment.
Good point. I always make sure to do my job search activities properly. Don't want any issues with that.
Right, the work search requirements are the same regardless of how many times you've filed. Usually 3 job search activities per week.
This whole thread has been enlightening. I had the same misconception about there being limits on unemployment claims. Turns out the Washington ESD system is more flexible than I thought!
Same here! I was really stressed about this for no reason. Thanks everyone for all the helpful info.
Happy to help clear up the confusion. It's a common misconception that there are arbitrary limits on filing claims.

One more thing - if you're ever unsure about a specific holiday, you can always check the federal calendar online. Any day that federal employees get off will delay Washington ESD payments.

•That's a good rule of thumb. Federal employee schedule = Washington ESD processing schedule.

•Makes sense since Washington ESD is a state agency but follows federal banking holidays for processing.

Honestly if ur having trouble reaching Washington ESD about this or any other payment issues, that Claimyr thing mentioned earlier actually works. Used it last month when my payment was way late and needed to find out why. Got through in minutes instead of hours on hold.

•Good to hear another positive review. Might be worth trying when I have my next payment question.

•Same, the regular phone system is basically unusable during busy times.
