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!

Same here! This thread saved me a lot of stress and probably some mistakes.
Good luck everyone! Tax season is never fun but at least we're all in it together.

If you're really worried about the timeline, you might want to try contacting your state representative's office. Sometimes they can help with Washington ESD issues, especially if there's been an unreasonable delay.
I'd say if it's been 6+ weeks with no communication or updates, that's when you might want to escalate. Before that it's probably within normal processing time.
Before going that route though, I'd definitely try Claimyr to actually talk to someone at Washington ESD first. Much faster than getting politicians involved.
Bottom line - there's no definitive answer because every claim is different. But based on recent experiences here, 2-4 weeks seems to be the typical range if there are no complications. Hang in there!
Thanks everyone for all the insights! This has been really helpful. I'll try to be patient and keep filing my weekly claims.
You're welcome! Hope your claim gets approved soon. The waiting is definitely the hardest part.

The hardest part for me was the uncertainty. But once Washington ESD made their decision and I got into the routine of filing weekly claims, it got much easier. You'll get through this!
Thank you everyone for all the advice and encouragement. I feel much more confident about applying now.
Good luck with your claim! Most people who get fired for performance reasons do qualify for benefits. Just be patient with the process and don't hesitate to reach out if you need help navigating the system.
I really appreciate all the help from everyone here. Going to file my application today.
You've got this! Come back and update us on how it goes.

Thanks everyone for all the help! This gives me a much better idea of what to expect. I'll file my claim this week and see how close the actual amount is to these estimates.

Final advice from someone who's been through this multiple times - file immediately, keep detailed records of everything, and don't hesitate to ask for help when you need it. The system can be confusing but the benefits are there if you follow the rules.

Just want to echo what others have said - there's really no benefit to waiting to file. Even if you think you might find work quickly, you can always stop filing weekly claims if you get a job. But you can't go back and claim weeks you didn't file for.

•This is such an important point. I wish someone had told me this when I first got laid off.
