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!

good luck op! filing unemployment sucks but at least theres help available when you need it
Thanks everyone! Really appreciate all the advice and support.
Feel free to update the thread if you run into any issues. This community is pretty good about helping each other navigate the Washington ESD system, and there are tools like Claimyr if you need to actually reach someone at the agency.
Will definitely update! Starting my application now - wish me luck!

thanks for sharing your experience OP, this stuff is always stressful when you're relying on the money
Exactly! When rent is due and you're waiting on unemployment it's nerve wracking. At least now I know what to expect.
One more thing - if you ever switch banks make sure to update your direct deposit info in eServices ASAP. I forgot to do that once and it delayed my payment by over a week while they sorted it out.
How long does it take for the direct deposit change to take effect?
I think they said allow one full payment cycle, so potentially 2 weeks to be safe.

Anyone know if there are any job training programs available through WorkSource while you're collecting unemployment? Might be worth looking into if you want to expand your skills.
That's a great idea. I should check what's available in my area.
WorkSource has tons of resources. You can access their services online or visit a local office.
If you need help navigating the Washington ESD system or getting through to speak with someone, that Claimyr service really does work. I was skeptical at first but it saved me hours of calling and getting busy signals.
I keep hearing about Claimyr. Might have to try it if I can't get through on my own.
It's worth it just for the peace of mind of talking to an actual person who can answer your specific questions.

Just don't get too comfortable! I've seen people coast on UI and then scramble when they're down to their last few weeks. Start your serious job hunting now, not later.
Definitely not planning to coast! I've been applying to jobs consistently, just wanted to understand my timeline better.

The whole phone system is a joke. I gave up and just used Claimyr after wasting two weeks trying to call. Got through immediately and the agent explained everything that was happening with my claim.

Have you tried the live chat feature on the Washington ESD website? Sometimes that's faster than calling.

•The live chat is mainly for technical issues with the website, not claim problems. But worth trying if you're having trouble accessing your account.
