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 want to add that once you do get approved, the payment usually comes pretty quick. Mine showed up in my account within 2-3 business days of approval.

Yep, and they'll pay you for all the weeks you claimed while waiting, so you won't lose out on any benefits.

0 coins

Exactly - that's why it's so important to keep filing those weekly claims even while the initial claim is pending.

Try to hang in there OP. I know the waiting is stressful but 2 weeks really is normal. If you hit the 4 week mark with no word, then I'd start trying to contact them directly.

And remember, if you do need to contact Washington ESD directly, services like Claimyr are there to help you actually get through to someone. Sometimes that direct contact can speed things up.

0 coins

Definitely keep that as an option if you need it. The peace of mind alone can be worth it.

Good luck with everything! The process is intimidating at first but it's really not that bad once you get started. The key is just filing as soon as you're eligible.

Thanks! Feeling much more confident about the timing now. Really appreciate everyone's help.

One last tip - take screenshots or write down confirmation numbers when you file. Sometimes the system glitches and having proof you filed can save you headaches later.

0 coins

Great advice, I'll definitely do that. You all have been so helpful!

Perfect timing - Wednesday morning is when most of us get ours. Welcome to the club lol.

Nice! I remember how stressful waiting for that first payment was. At least now you know the schedule.

The whole process seems overwhelming at first but it's really not that bad once you get started. Just take it step by step and don't stress too much about making it perfect.

Thanks for the encouragement! I'm going to start the application tonight.

You got this! Thousands of people go through this process every week. It's designed to help you.

0 coins

One last thing - keep records of everything! Save copies of your application, print out confirmation pages, and keep track of all your job search activities. You never know when you might need to reference something.

Good advice. I'll start a folder for all my unemployment paperwork.

Smart move. Organization will save you headaches down the road if any issues come up.

THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN! I've been waiting 6 weeks for my determination and can't get anyone on the phone to help. How are people supposed to survive like this???

0 coins

I feel your frustration. That's exactly the situation where Claimyr helped me - when the regular system just wasn't working. Sometimes you need an alternative way to get through.

0 coins

Hang in there. The wait is awful but most people do eventually get their claims processed.

0 coins

If you get fired, file online immediately at esd.wa.gov. Don't delay thinking about whether you qualify - let Washington ESD make that determination. The sooner you file, the sooner you can start the process.

0 coins

Will do. Thanks for all the advice everyone. This has been really helpful.
