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!

Make sure you keep all your documentation too - the determination letter, any correspondence from Washington ESD, records of your weekly claims. You never know when you might need them.
Good point. I'll start a folder to keep everything organized.
Final reminder - your weekly benefit amount stays the same throughout your benefit year unless you have part-time earnings or other changes. So once you know what to expect, it should be consistent week to week.
Perfect. That's exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks for taking the time to explain everything!

Bottom line: there's no limit on how many times you can collect unemployment in Washington. Just meet the eligibility requirements each time and you're fine. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
Perfect, that's exactly what I needed to know. Thanks everyone for all the helpful information!

Good luck with your application! It sounds like you have a good chance of qualifying based on what you've described. The part-time work shouldn't be an issue as long as you met the wage requirements.
Thank you! I feel much more confident about applying now after reading everyone's responses.
You're welcome! This community is really helpful for navigating the Washington ESD system. Don't hesitate to ask if you have more questions after you apply.
Just remember that even if your initial application gets denied, you have the right to appeal. Sometimes Washington ESD makes mistakes or doesn't have complete information. An appeal can resolve issues with your claim.
That's good to know. How long do you have to file an appeal?
You have 30 days from the date of the determination notice to file an appeal. The appeal process gives you a chance to provide additional information or correct any errors in your claim.

The approval process has gotten more efficient over the years but there are still delays sometimes. If you need to talk to someone at Washington ESD and can't get through, that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier might be worth looking into. I used it when I had a complex situation and needed to speak with an actual person.

•I might need that if I run into issues. Good to know there's an option to actually talk to someone without spending all day on hold.

•Exactly. The peace of mind of being able to get answers to your specific questions is really valuable when you're dealing with something as important as your unemployment benefits.

Bottom line: be honest, file quickly, keep good records, and don't panic if there are delays. The system works but it takes patience. Most people who qualify do get approved eventually.
