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!

Have you looked into any free relationship resources? Some libraries have relationship books, there are free online workshops, podcasts about navigating financial stress in marriage.
I hadn't thought about library resources. That's a good idea since money is tight right now.
Libraries are goldmines for free resources. Many also have free wifi if you need to do job applications there for a change of scenery.

I had a payment issue last month where it didn't come through on the usual day. Used Claimyr to get through to Washington ESD and they sorted it out quickly. Turned out to be a system glitch affecting a bunch of people.
Good to know there are options if something goes wrong with the payment.
Yeah, Claimyr seems to be the go-to solution when you can't get through to Washington ESD directly.

Also check if your county has any emergency cash assistance programs. King County has some, not sure about other counties but worth looking into for short-term help.
I'm in Pierce County but I'll check what they have available. Every little bit helps at this point.
UPDATE: Thanks everyone for all the advice. I called 211 and they gave me a whole list of resources I didn't know existed. Also used that Claimyr service someone mentioned to talk to Washington ESD about my options - turns out I might qualify for some job training assistance through WorkSource. Feeling a bit more hopeful now.
Glad Claimyr worked out for you. It really does make a difference being able to talk to a real person at ESD.
That's awesome news about the job training possibility. WorkSource programs can really help with getting new skills and finding employment.

Hope your payment comes through tomorrow! The waiting is always the hardest part but it sounds like everything is processing normally.
Thanks! I'll update the thread once I see the deposit to let others know the timeline.
If you set up direct deposit correctly and your claim shows paid, you're in good shape. Washington ESD payments are pretty reliable once they're approved.
That's what I'm hoping for. Thanks everyone for all the helpful info and reassurance!
No problem! We've all been through the stress of waiting for that first payment. You'll be fine.

The voluntary quit rules are tricky too. Even if you had a good reason to quit, you need to make sure it meets Washington's definition of 'good cause' or you'll be disqualified.

•I was laid off so that shouldn't apply to me, but what counts as good cause?

•Things like workplace harassment, unsafe conditions, significant changes to your job, or domestic violence situations. But you usually need to prove you tried to resolve the issue first.

My advice is to read the Washington ESD handbook thoroughly and when in doubt, call and ask. Better to get clarification upfront than deal with disqualification later. If you can't get through on the phone, that Claimyr service people mentioned might help you reach someone.
