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!

One more thing - make sure you start your job search activities right away since Washington ESD requires that you be actively looking for work to maintain eligibility. Don't wait until after you're approved to start applying for jobs.
Good reminder! I was planning to take a few days to decompress but you're right, I should start looking immediately.
Yeah the job search requirements are pretty strict. Better to have more applications than you need than not enough.
Good luck with your claim! Based on everything you've described and all the similar experiences people have shared here, I think you'll be approved without any major issues. Just be patient with the process and make sure you keep filing your weekly claims even while it's under review.
Thank you so much! This thread has been incredibly helpful and reassuring. I feel much better about the whole situation now.
Yeah don't forget about the weekly claims - I made that mistake once and it delayed my benefits.

Bottom line is everyone's situation is different based on their work history. The formulas help estimate but you won't know for sure until Washington ESD processes your claim and sends you the determination letter.
Makes sense. I'll just file and see what happens. Thanks for all the help everyone!
You're welcome. Hope everything works out and you find new employment soon.
If you need help navigating the system or getting answers from Washington ESD, that Claimyr thing people mentioned is actually pretty useful. I was skeptical but it helped me get through to someone who could explain my benefit calculation when I was confused about the amounts.
I might need to try that. Been trying to call ESD for three days about my claim and can't get through.
Yeah the regular phone system is brutal. This was much easier and actually got me connected to someone who could help.

Hope everything works out for you OP. Keep us posted on what happens! And remember, if you need to reach Washington ESD about anything during this process, that Claimyr option is there if the regular phone lines aren't working.
Will do! Thanks everyone for all the advice and support. This forum has been incredibly helpful during a really stressful time.
That's what we're here for. Unemployment situations are tough enough without having to navigate the system alone.
Final update for now - just got an automated email saying my claim is 'under review' and I should continue filing weekly claims. Guess I'm in the adjudication phase now. At least I know what to expect thanks to all your help!
Exactly. 'Under review' usually means they're doing their due diligence, not that there's a problem with your claim.
Keep documentation of everything during this period. And don't forget to keep looking for work and logging your job search activities!

Wow, that's a significant increase! I need to check that out. Is there a website or how does it work?
Yeah claimyr.com - they basically get you connected to actual Washington ESD staff without the endless hold times. Worth it just for peace of mind on the calculation.
