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!

Last resort option - if you absolutely cannot find your UI number anywhere, you can visit a WorkSource office in person and they can help you locate it. Bring photo ID and be prepared to verify your personal information.
Yeah, the in-person staff are usually pretty helpful and can access your account information directly.
Just make sure to call ahead and check their hours - some locations have limited walk-in availability.
SUCCESS UPDATE: Found my UI number in an email from Washington ESD titled 'Important Information About Your Weekly Claim Filing'. It was right at the top! Thanks everyone for helping me figure out where to look.
Great! Those weekly claim filing emails are another good place to check. Glad you found it!
Yeah, apparently I had multiple emails with the number in them - I just wasn't looking carefully enough before. Hope you find yours soon!

Remember you also need to start doing your job search activities right away even if your claim is still being reviewed. Washington ESD requires you to be actively looking for work to qualify for benefits.
I think it's 3 job search activities per week minimum. Could be applications, networking events, job fairs, etc. Keep good records of everything you do.
Make sure you register with WorkSource too. That's usually one of the requirements Washington ESD has.
The whole process is honestly easier than people make it sound. I was terminated for attendance issues and still got approved after adjudication. As long as you're honest and cooperative, Washington ESD is pretty fair about these things.
That's reassuring. I've been reading horror stories online and getting really anxious about the whole thing.
Don't believe everything you read online. Most people only post when they have problems, not when things go smoothly.

One more thing - if you end up needing to file a new claim later and had issues with your previous claim, that Claimyr service might be helpful for getting those resolved quickly with Washington ESD.
Yeah, dealing with Washington ESD phone system is nightmare fuel. Any service that can help with that is probably worth it.

For what it's worth, I used that claimyr service someone mentioned earlier and it really did help me get through to Washington ESD when I had a similar confusing status. Worth considering if this doesn't resolve in a few days.
