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 whole process seems really complicated. I'm dreading having to deal with all this bureaucracy.
It's not as bad as it seems once you get started. The online system walks you through each step pretty clearly.
I hope you're right. I just don't want to mess something up and delay my benefits.

Bottom line - being fired doesn't automatically disqualify you from unemployment benefits in Washington. File your claim, be honest about what happened, and let the system work. You might be pleasantly surprised by the outcome.
Thank you everyone for all the encouragement and advice. I feel much more confident about applying now!
You're welcome! Hope everything works out well for you.
Good luck with your claim! Remember to file your weekly claims on time if you get approved, and keep track of your job search activities. The system can be frustrating but it's there to help people in situations like yours.
Will do! I'm feeling much better about this whole situation now. Thanks again everyone!

Bottom line: file today, not tomorrow. Every day you wait is money you're potentially losing. The application takes maybe 30-45 minutes to complete, and then you're done. Much better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
Alright, I'm convinced! Going to start the application right now. Thanks everyone for the advice and encouragement.
Good luck! You're making the right decision.
Just to add one final thought - even if you're not sure about your eligibility, let Washington ESD make that determination. Don't self-reject by not filing. The worst thing that can happen is they say no, but at least you'll know for sure and won't be left wondering 'what if.
That's exactly the mindset I needed to hear. Nothing to lose by trying, everything to lose by not trying.
Precisely! Take the shot - you might be surprised by the result.

Had a similar experience with getting fired and needing to reach Washington ESD for clarification. Used Claimyr to actually get through to an agent and they were super helpful explaining how misconduct determinations work. Really put my mind at ease about the whole process.
That's the second mention of that service. Might be worth looking into if I run into issues with my claim.
I've heard good things about them too. Sometimes you just need to talk to an actual person to understand what's going on with your claim.
Bottom line - being fired doesn't automatically disqualify you from unemployment benefits in Washington. File your claim, be honest about the circumstances, and let the process work. Most people in your situation get approved.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice! I feel much more confident about filing now.
Good luck with everything! Hope your claim gets approved quickly so you can focus on finding your next job.

The most important thing is just to start the process. Don't overthink it - the system will guide you through most of it and you can always ask questions later. I spent a week researching everything before filing and honestly could have just started right away.

If you do run into issues where you need to speak with someone at Washington ESD and can't get through on the phone, that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier is legit. I used it last month when my benefits got stopped for some reason and I needed answers. Much better than spending entire days trying to call.

•How much does something like that cost?

•I'd rather not get into specific pricing but for me it was worth it to solve my problem quickly instead of losing weeks of benefits while trying to reach someone the normal way.
