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 - keep copies of everything you submit for SNAP, including your Washington ESD payment records. You might need them later for recertification or if there are any questions about your case.
Will do. I've learned to keep copies of everything after dealing with Washington ESD!

Remember you can file your weekly claim even if you're waiting for your regular UI benefits to be approved. Don't wait - file every week from the start.
That's exactly my situation! I just got approved so I wasn't sure when to start. I'll file this Sunday for sure.
Correct. File weekly claims starting the week after you file your initial application, even during adjudication.

UPDATE: Used Claimyr this morning and got connected in 7 minutes! The agent fixed my work search problem immediately. Wish I had known about this service weeks ago. Thanks to everyone who recommended it!
That's great news! Definitely going to try it for my issue.
nice! wish i had known about this before spending days calling manually

If it makes you feel better, I've never seen a legitimate layoff claim get denied. The timing varies but the approval rate for clear layoff situations is very high. Hang in there!
That does make me feel better! Thanks for sharing your experience.
Final thought - while you're waiting, make sure you have all your job search documentation organized. Once you're approved, you'll need to show you've been actively looking for work. Better to be prepared now than scramble later.
Great advice. I'll start organizing my job search records this week while I wait for approval.
Smart thinking. Having everything organized from the start makes the whole process much smoother.

Just got my monetary determination and my weekly benefit is $485. That seems about right based on what I made last year. Took exactly 2 weeks to get it.

One last tip - if you're self-employed or have 1099 income, that usually doesn't count toward regular unemployment benefits in Washington. You'd need to look into other programs.

•I was a W-2 employee so that shouldn't affect me.
