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!

I'm dealing with this same login loop issue right now too! Been stuck on it for about 20 minutes. It's so frustrating because I can see my username and password are correct, but it just keeps refreshing back to the login screen. I tried clearing my browser cache and cookies like some of you suggested, and I'm about to try the direct secure.esd.wa.gov link. Really appreciate everyone sharing their solutions here - it's such a relief to know this is a known system issue and not something wrong with my account specifically. Fingers crossed the direct link works because I really need to file my weekly claim today!
I just went through this exact same thing earlier today! The direct secure.esd.wa.gov link is definitely your best bet - it worked for me after I cleared all my cookies first. I was getting so frustrated with that endless login loop, but once I used the direct link it went straight through to my account dashboard. Don't stress too much about the filing deadline either - from what others have mentioned, ESD usually extends the deadline when they have confirmed system issues like this. You should be able to get your weekly claim filed once you get through!
I'm having this exact same login loop issue right now! Just started trying to access my account about 10 minutes ago and keep getting bounced back to the login screen with no error message whatsoever. It's so relieving to find this thread and see that it's a widespread system issue rather than something wrong with my specific account. I was starting to panic about missing my weekly claim filing deadline. Going to try the direct secure.esd.wa.gov link that multiple people have recommended after clearing my cookies first. Thanks so much to everyone who shared their troubleshooting solutions - this community is incredibly helpful when ESD's system decides to act up!

Quick question - if I exhaust my 26 weeks and then work for a few months at a new job but get laid off again, can I file a new claim?
Yes, if you earn enough wages in your new base period, you can establish a new claim with a fresh 26-week entitlement.
The key is meeting the minimum wage requirements again. Usually you need wages in at least two quarters of your base period.
This has been really helpful everyone. Sounds like the bottom line is: 26 weeks maximum, no current extensions available, use them wisely, and start job searching immediately. I feel much more prepared now to make the most of my claim period.
And don't hesitate to reach out for help if you run into issues with your claim. Whether through official channels or services like Claimyr, getting accurate information early can save you a lot of stress later.
This thread has been super informative! I'm in a similar situation - just filed my first claim last week after getting laid off from a restaurant job. It's reassuring to know exactly what to expect with the 26-week timeline. Now I can budget properly and focus on finding something new instead of worrying about unknown deadlines.

Great news! Glad it resolved itself. For future reference, I recommend always keeping track of the actual business days since a payment shows as \
So glad to see this worked out for you! I've been following this thread because I'm dealing with the exact same situation right now - my payment has shown "paid" since Tuesday but still nothing in my account. Reading through everyone's experiences here has been really helpful. It sounds like 3-5 business days isn't uncommon, especially if there are any banking holidays or processing delays. I'm with Wells Fargo and they tend to be pretty quick with direct deposits, so I was getting worried, but I'll give it another day or two before panicking. Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences - this community is such a lifesaver when dealing with ESD issues!
@Dylan Wright I m'glad this thread helped you too! When I was going through this, the waiting and uncertainty was the worst part, especially when you re'counting on that money for bills. Wells Fargo is usually pretty reliable with direct deposits, so you re'probably just experiencing the same processing delay I had. Keep checking your account - mine showed up randomly in the middle of the day without any pending notification beforehand. Fingers crossed yours comes through soon! And definitely bookmark that Claimyr service that Nathan mentioned - it s'good to have that option if you ever need to actually speak to someone at ESD quickly.

Great to hear it worked out for you! For future reference, the 2-3 business day timeline is pretty standard once ESD marks it as "paid." The key thing you did right was checking your payment settings in eServices - that's always the first troubleshooting step if a payment seems delayed. Bookmark that location in the portal since you'll be filing weekly claims. Also, keep in mind that bank holidays can add an extra day to processing time, so factor that in during weeks with federal holidays.

I'm dealing with a similar situation right now - got laid off from my construction job last month and my unemployment is about half what I was making. One thing I learned from talking to a legal aid attorney is that you should keep all your documentation from Boeing showing your layoff date and circumstances. Washington courts want to see that the job loss was involuntary, not a voluntary quit. Also, if you haven't already, make sure you understand exactly what your current child support order says about income changes - some orders have specific language about modifications. The 3 years of consistent payments definitely works in your favor when you go before a judge.
