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!

Just went through this process myself last month. The key is being patient and thorough. Washington ESD moves slowly but if you provide accurate information and follow up when needed, it works out. Don't panic if it takes a few weeks to get your first payment.
Thanks for the encouragement! Did you have any major issues or did it go pretty smoothly?
Had to verify my identity which added about a week, but otherwise straightforward. The hardest part was getting through on the phone when I had questions, which is why I ended up using Claimyr to reach an agent.
Don't forget that you can start your application and save it if you need to gather more information. You don't have to complete everything in one session.
That's good to know! How long does it save your progress?
I think it's 30 days but don't quote me on that. Check the website for the exact timeout period.

Last piece of advice - keep copies of everything. Every document, every weekly claim, every communication with Washington ESD. You never know when you might need to reference something later.
Good point. I'll start a folder to keep everything organized.
Smart move. Organization will save you headaches if any issues come up down the road.

Just wanted to add that vacation payout is treated the same as severance usually. If you got both, report both but don't stress about it. Washington ESD handles this stuff all the time.
I did get vacation payout too, about $1,500. Good to know I should report that as well.
Yep, report everything. They'd rather have complete information upfront than discover it later during an audit or something.
Last thought - if you end up needing to talk to Washington ESD about your severance and can't get through on the phone, that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier actually works. I was skeptical at first but they got me through to an agent when I'd been trying for days on my own.
Good to have that as a backup option. Hopefully I won't need it but it's reassuring to know it exists.
Exactly. Sometimes you just need to talk to a human to get clarity on these things, and Claimyr makes that possible when the regular phone system fails you.

Hope everything works out for you! Most people get through the process fine, it's just the ones with problems that you hear about more often.
