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!

The bottom line is that Washington state generally sides with workers unless there's clear evidence of misconduct. Your situation sounds like you have a good chance of getting approved.
That's reassuring. I was really worried I wouldn't qualify since I was technically fired.
Being fired doesn't automatically disqualify you. It's all about the circumstances and whether it rises to the level of misconduct.
btw if you do need to call washington esd and cant get through, that claimyr thing people mentioned actually worked for me too. i was skeptical at first but desperate times call for desperate measures lol
Seems like a lot of people have had success with it. Good to know it's not just one person's experience.
Same here, used Claimyr when I was having issues with my weekly claim. They got me through to someone who could actually help.

Good luck with your application! The process has gotten better over the years, and most people who qualify get approved without major issues. Just be patient with the system and follow all the requirements.
Thank you all so much! I feel much more prepared now. Going to start my application right after I gather all my employment information.

Quick tip: when you create your eServices account, write down your login info and keep it somewhere safe. Password recovery can be a nightmare if you get locked out of your account.
Good point. I'll use my password manager to keep track of everything.
Welcome to the wonderful world of unemployment bureaucracy! It's not fun but it's there when you need it. The system works, just be patient and follow the rules.
Thanks for the encouragement. Hopefully I'll find a new job soon and won't need it for long.
That's the right attitude. Use the time to really focus on finding something good rather than just settling for anything.

This thread has been super helpful! I'm in a similar boat with a potential layoff coming. Going to bookmark this for reference when the time comes.
Glad it helped! Everyone here gave really solid advice.
