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 $999 maximum applies to regular unemployment insurance. If you're on standby status or other special programs, the calculation might be different. Most people are on regular UI though.
What's standby status? I haven't heard of that before.
Standby is when your employer temporarily lays you off but expects to call you back within a specific timeframe. You don't have to do job searches in that case, but the benefit calculation is the same.
Thanks everyone for all the detailed info about maximum benefits. This thread has been way more helpful than the Washington ESD website for understanding how the calculations work.
Agree, the official website makes everything sound so complicated. Real people explaining it in simple terms is much better.
That's what these forums are for - helping each other navigate the bureaucracy. Good luck with your claim!

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.

One more success story with Claimyr - my friend used it last week to get through to Washington ESD about a benefit calculation error. Agent was able to fix it on the spot and she got her corrected payment within days.
ok maybe that service isnt as sketchy as i thought if its actually helping people
Definitely legitimate. The video demo I mentioned earlier shows exactly how it works.

Has anyone here actually succeeded in getting a new claim approved right after their benefits ran out? All these rules make it sound nearly impossible.

•I did, but I had worked almost full-time hours for several months during my claim at a higher wage. It really depends on your specific work history.

•Ok that gives me some hope. I worked a decent amount during my claim too.
