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!

Set up direct deposit if you haven't already. Payments come faster than waiting for the debit card to arrive.
How long does direct deposit usually take?
Usually 1-2 business days after you certify, assuming no issues with your claim.
i messed up my first certification and put the wrong info, had to call and get it corrected. lesson learned to double check everything before submitting
Were you able to get it fixed easily?
took a while to get through but they fixed it. thats when i learned about the claimyr service from someone else on here

The bottom line is that performance-related terminations usually qualify for unemployment benefits in Washington. You should be fine as long as you file promptly and are honest about what happened.
Thanks everyone for all the advice and reassurance - this has been incredibly helpful!
Good luck with your claim! Hope everything works out quickly for you.

Thanks again everyone! This thread gave me the confidence to actually file instead of sitting here worrying about it. I'll update when I hear back from Washington ESD.
Best of luck! Hope it all works out for you.
Rooting for you! Let us know how the process goes.

One final tip: keep all your medical records and communications with your doctor, disability insurance, and employer. If Washington ESD has questions during adjudication, having everything organized will speed up the process significantly.
Thanks everyone for all the advice. Sounds like I need to wait until disability ends, get my medical clearance documentation ready, and then apply right away.
That's exactly right. And don't forget to register with WorkSource as soon as you're cleared to work.

Pro tip: even if you think you might have issues with your claim (like if you were fired vs laid off), file anyway. You can sort out the details later, but at least you'll have started the process. Don't let uncertainty stop you from filing.

•That's reassuring. I was worried because I'm not 100% sure how they'll classify my termination.

•Let Washington ESD make that determination. Your job is just to file and provide accurate information. They'll handle the rest.

The bottom line is: FILE NOW. I've seen too many people wait and regret it. There's literally no downside to filing immediately, but there are real downsides to waiting. Don't be one of those people who kicks themselves for missing out on benefits they were entitled to.

•And remember, if you have trouble getting through to Washington ESD with questions, that Claimyr service people mentioned earlier really does work. Made my life so much easier when I needed to talk to someone about my claim status.
