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!

Been there, done that. Filed with a $12k severance package and had zero issues. Washington ESD processed my claim normally and I got my benefits on schedule. Just be honest and thorough in your application.
Perfect, that's exactly the reassurance I needed. Thanks for sharing your experience!
One last tip - make sure you get a copy of your severance agreement for your records. You might need it later if ESD has questions, and it's easier to get it now than trying to request it from your old employer months later.
Good advice! I'll make sure to save everything before I leave the company.
And if you do end up needing to talk to ESD about any of this documentation, Claimyr can help you get through to someone quickly instead of waiting on hold.

This thread convinced me to look into that Claimyr service too. Been trying to get answers about my claim for weeks and getting nowhere with the regular phone system.
It really does work. I was skeptical at first but it saved me so much time and frustration.
Same here. Sometimes you just need to talk to someone who actually knows the system instead of guessing what to do.

Actually, one more thing I thought of - if you get a message about your claim being under review or in adjudication status, don't panic. It's pretty common and doesn't necessarily mean there's a problem. Just means they need to verify some information.
How long does adjudication usually take?
Can vary from a few days to several weeks depending on what they're reviewing. If it goes over 3 weeks, that's when I'd recommend using something like Claimyr to actually talk to someone.
This thread is super helpful! I'm in a similar situation and was putting off filing because it seemed so complicated. Sounds like it's actually pretty straightforward if you have your documents ready.
Right? I was overthinking it. Going to get started tonight with all this great advice.
Same here. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences!

The whole process seems overwhelming at first but it's really not that bad once you get into the routine. File your weekly claims on the same day each week and keep good records.
Thanks everyone for all the advice! This gives me a much better idea of what to expect.
Last thought - if you're thinking about going back to school while unemployed, there are some special provisions that might help with the job search requirements. Worth looking into if that's on your radar.
Actually I have been considering some certification courses. I'll definitely look into that.
Check with WorkSourceWA too - they have training programs that can be approved for unemployment benefits.
