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!

Final tip: when you do get through, ask the agent for their direct extension or supervisor contact if possible. Some agents will give you a way to reach them directly if you need follow-up help. Not all will do this but it's worth asking.
That's smart. Having a direct contact would save so much time if I need to call back.
I never thought to ask for that. Wish I had known that when I was dealing with my issues.
Thanks everyone for all the help and phone numbers. I'm going to try the adjudication line first thing tomorrow morning. If that doesn't work I'll probably give that Claimyr service a try since so many people here said it worked for them. Will update if I get through!
Hope you get it sorted out. The appeal process can be stressful but if you have a valid case it's worth fighting.
Let us know how it goes. Always helpful to hear what methods actually work for people.

Thanks for starting this thread! I learned a lot from reading everyone's responses. I'm in a similar situation and now feel more confident about applying.
You're welcome! I'm glad it helped others too. Good luck with your application!
Final tip - if you do apply and get approved, set up direct deposit right away. Paper checks take forever to arrive and can get lost in the mail.
Thanks for the practical advice! I'll definitely do that if I get approved.
Yes this is so important. I waited weeks for my first paper check before switching to direct deposit.

Pro tip: if you're going to a grocery store, try to go during off-peak hours. The customer service desk gets really busy during lunch and after work, so you might wait longer.
That's smart thinking. I'll try to go mid-morning when it's less crowded.

Just file your claim if you think you might qualify - the worst they can do is say no. The monetary determination process will tell you exactly where you stand and you'll know for sure instead of guessing about your wage eligibility.
You're right, I should just apply and see what happens. Thanks everyone for all the help explaining the wage requirements!
Good luck! The application process itself will walk you through everything and Washington ESD will calculate your eligibility automatically.
Remember that if you don't qualify now, you might qualify later if you keep working and earning wages. The base period moves forward each quarter so your eligibility can change over time.
That's helpful to know - so even if I don't qualify today, I might qualify in a few months with more work history.

This thread was really helpful for me too! I'm in a similar situation and wasn't sure about eligibility. Thanks for asking the question OP.

Just wanted to add that if you run into any issues during the process, don't give up. The system can be frustrating but most people do get their benefits eventually if they qualify.
