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 everyone dealing with this stuff, its stressful but it works out eventually
Thanks for the encouragement! Really appreciate everyone's input on this.
I'm in a similar situation - filed my claim about 10 days ago and the waiting is nerve-wracking! Reading through everyone's experiences here is really reassuring though. It sounds like 2-4 weeks is pretty normal for straightforward cases. I keep obsessively checking my account multiple times a day hoping for updates. Has anyone noticed if there are certain days of the week when Washington ESD tends to update claim statuses more often?

I'm in the same boat, verified my identity 6 days ago and still waiting. At least I know I'm not the only one dealing with this uncertainty.
Hopefully we both get our payments soon! This waiting is stressful
For real, I keep checking my bank account every few hours
Just remember that once your ID is verified and payments start processing, you'll get everything you're owed including any back weeks. It's frustrating to wait but the money will come.
Yeah the waiting is the worst part but they do eventually pay everything
I'm going through the exact same thing right now - verified my ID on Tuesday and it's been 4 business days. Seeing everyone's different timelines here, it sounds like anywhere from 3-14 days is normal depending on their workload. I'll probably try that Claimyr service if I don't see movement by early next week.

Thank you everyone for your responses! I finally managed to get through to ESD this morning. Turns out one adjudication is about my job separation (since I quit my previous job for a new offer that fell through) and the other is about some part-time gig work I did last year that I completely forgot to mention. The agent said they're trying to determine if I reported all my earnings correctly. They couldn't give me an exact timeline but said both issues are assigned to adjudicators now. I also filed a hardship request as someone suggested. Fingers crossed this gets resolved soon!
That's good news that both issues are actively assigned! The job separation one might take some time since they'll need to verify your story about the rescinded offer. For the gig work, make sure you have documentation of all earnings ready in case they request it. Hope it gets resolved quickly for you.
Glad you finally got some answers! The gig work issue should resolve pretty quickly once they verify your earnings - just make sure you have all your 1099s or payment records ready. The job separation one might take longer since they'll probably contact your previous employer to confirm your story about the rescinded offer. Keep checking your eServices account daily for any new questionnaires they might send. Good luck with the hardship request too!
I'm dealing with something similar right now - also have two adjudications pending for about 2.5 weeks. Reading through all these responses is really helpful, especially learning that they won't release ANY payments until ALL issues are resolved. That explains why I'm still stuck in limbo even though one of my issues seems pretty straightforward. The lack of transparency is definitely the worst part - you're left guessing what's going on with your own claim. Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences, it helps to know we're not alone in this frustrating process.

This gives me hope. I've been worried about this exact situation for months. Seeing that it worked out for someone else is really encouraging.
I totally understand that worry. The key is just having your documentation ready and being upfront about your situation. You've got this!
This is such valuable information! I'm currently in a similar situation where I'm about to be cleared to return to work after being on disability for several months. My biggest concern was whether there would be complications transitioning to unemployment benefits, but seeing your successful experience really puts my mind at ease. I'm definitely going to make sure I have all my medical clearance documentation ready before I apply. Did Washington ESD ask you any specific questions about the gap in employment due to disability, or was the medical clearance sufficient to explain everything?

Congratulations on the new job, Emily! You've got great advice here already. I just went through this same process a few weeks ago and can confirm it really is as simple as everyone described. The most important thing is accuracy on that final weekly claim - double and triple check your start date and any wages earned during that week. Washington ESD's system is actually pretty good at handling this automatically once you stop filing. Just make sure you don't accidentally file another claim after reporting your employment start date. Wishing you all the best in your new position!
