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!

For anyone else reading this thread, I had success using Claimyr when I needed to speak with Washington ESD about my fired-for-cause claim. Sometimes you really need to talk to a human to explain your situation properly, and their phone system is impossible otherwise.
How quickly were you able to get connected through them?
Same day I submitted my request. Way better than spending days trying to call on my own and never getting through.
This has been really helpful to read. I'm in a similar situation where I was fired but I think wrongfully. Going to file my claim tomorrow and see what happens. Wish me luck!
Good luck! Sounds like we're both in similar boats. Hope it works out for both of us.
Thanks! I'll try to remember to update this thread once I know how my claim goes.

Just to clarify for anyone still reading - the $999 maximum is for regular unemployment insurance. If you're on any special programs or extensions, the amounts might be different.
Are there still any special programs running? I thought most of the pandemic stuff ended.
Most of the federal programs ended, but Washington sometimes has state-specific programs. Check the Washington ESD website for current offerings.

Final advice: keep detailed records of all your work and income reporting this time around. Take screenshots of your weekly claim submissions and save confirmation emails. It'll help if any questions come up later.
Definitely learned my lesson there. I'm going to be extra careful with documentation this time.
Smart approach. I keep a spreadsheet with all my work hours and earnings to make sure I report everything correctly.

Final tip about getting help - if you get stuck or confused at any point, that Claimyr service I mentioned earlier really does work. I've recommended it to several friends and they've all had good experiences reaching Washington ESD agents through it.
I'll definitely keep that in mind if I run into issues. Thanks for all the helpful advice everyone!

Update on my situation from earlier - finally got through to ESD (thanks to that Claimyr service) and they explained my overpayment was due to employer wage records not matching what I reported. Agent said this happens all the time and isn't considered fraud.

•So they were able to clarify it wasn't intentional? That gives me hope for my own case.

•Exactly - she said as long as I made good faith efforts to report accurately, it's just an administrative adjustment.

Bottom line - focus on your appeal, gather your documentation, and don't let the fear of criminal charges paralyze you. The overwhelming majority of overpayments are civil matters that get resolved through appeals or payment arrangements.
