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!

Don't forget you can also check your payment history and benefit information in your SecureAccess Washington account. It shows your WBA, remaining balance, and payment dates. Super helpful for keeping track of everything.

honestly 3 weeks feels like forever when ur broke but it's not that unusual for washington esd. my neighbor waited 5 weeks last year so ur probably fine
5 weeks would probably put me on the street. Really hoping it doesn't take that long.
Final thoughts - based on everything you've shared, your claim sounds like it's processing normally. Warehouse layoff, no multi-state complications, weekly claims filed correctly. I'd expect you'll see movement in the next week or two. Keep filing those weekly claims and try not to stress too much.
You're welcome! Feel free to post an update when your claim gets approved. Success stories help other people in the same situation.
Definitely post an update! We're all rooting for you.

Make sure you understand the difference between your benefit year and your 26 weeks of benefits. Your benefit year is 52 weeks but you can only collect benefits for 26 of those weeks. Don't get confused like I did.
Can you explain that more? I'm not sure I understand the difference.
Your benefit year is the 12-month period when your claim is valid. Within that year, you can collect up to 26 weeks of benefits. If you find work and get laid off again within that same benefit year, you might not qualify for a new claim.

Don't forget about WorkSourceWA registration - you need to do that within a certain timeframe after filing your claim. It's separate from the unemployment application but required to keep getting benefits.
How long do I have to register with WorkSourceWA?
I think it's within the first week or two after filing, but they'll give you specific instructions when you apply for unemployment.
The whole system seems overwhelming at first but it's really not that complicated once you get started. Just take it one step at a time and don't be afraid to ask questions on forums like this if you get stuck.
You're welcome! Hope everything works out for you and you find a new job quickly.
Good luck with everything. The layoff itself is stressful enough without worrying about the unemployment process too.
