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 echo what everyone else is saying - FILE NOW! I waited 10 days thinking I had time and lost out on almost $400 in benefits. Don't make my mistake.
Wow, $400 is a lot to lose over waiting. Definitely filing today.
Update: Just finished filing my claim! Took about 25 minutes like everyone said. Thanks to everyone who pushed me to do it today instead of waiting. Already feeling less stressed about the whole situation.
Glad you got it done! The hardest part is over.
Thanks everyone for the advice and encouragement. This forum was really helpful!

If anyone needs to actually speak with Washington ESD about benefit calculations, I used Claimyr recently and it was a game changer. Finally got to talk to someone who could explain my determination in detail.
That's the second time someone mentioned that service. I might have to try it since I still don't fully understand my calculation.
It's definitely worth it if you're stuck trying to reach them through normal channels. The wait times are just impossible otherwise.
Bottom line - wage cuts before unemployment will likely reduce your weekly benefit amount because Washington ESD bases it on your earnings during specific quarters in your base period. The 1930s thing was definitely a misunderstanding!
Thanks everyone for clearing that up! I was so confused about the historical reference. Now I understand it's about my recent wage history affecting the calculation.
Glad we could help! The unemployment system terminology can be really confusing at first.

The system usually processes payments overnight Monday into Tuesday. So if you filed Sunday and everything is clean, you should see money Tuesday morning. But like others said, Wednesday is possible too depending on various factors.
This thread has been super helpful! Thanks everyone for the detailed info.
Glad we could help! The unemployment system can be confusing but once you get the hang of it, it becomes routine.
One more thing - if you don't get paid when expected, don't panic immediately. Sometimes there are system glitches or processing delays. Give it 24-48 hours before calling.
That's good advice. I'll try not to freak out if Tuesday comes and goes without payment.
But if it's been more than 48 hours past your expected payment date, definitely call or use one of those services like Claimyr to get through faster.

Hope everything works out for you OP. Toxic work environments are no joke and can really mess with your health. Just make sure you protect yourself financially while you figure out your next steps. There are resources out there to help, you just have to know where to look.
Thank you, I really appreciate everyone taking the time to share their experiences and advice. This has given me a much better understanding of my options.
For what it's worth, I've been using claimyr too when I need to reach Washington ESD quickly. Their service has been pretty reliable and saves me from spending entire days trying to get through. Might be worth the cost if you need definitive answers before making major life decisions.
Several people have mentioned claimyr now, so it sounds like it might be worth checking out. I'll look into it this week.

That gives me hope mine will come through Tuesday too since I filed Sunday around the same time.
