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!

Honestly, if your friend is unsure about their eligibility, they should just apply anyway. The worst that happens is they get denied, but they might qualify when they think they won't. The adjudication process exists to review each case individually.
That's good advice. I was thinking they shouldn't even try if they weren't sure.
Exactly. Let Washington ESD make the determination rather than self-eliminating. You can always appeal if you disagree with their decision.
One more thing - if you need to talk to Washington ESD about any of these qualification issues, that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier really does work. I was stuck in adjudication for weeks and couldn't get through to anyone. They got me connected to an agent who explained exactly what was holding up my claim.
Good to know there's a way to actually reach someone. The phone system is impossible.
Yeah, saved me so much stress. Sometimes you just need to talk to a real person to understand what's going on with your claim.

I was making $4,800/month and my weekly benefit amount ended up being $487. So roughly 25% of my monthly income like someone else mentioned. It's not great but it helps bridge the gap while job hunting.
That's actually higher than some of the other examples. Maybe my benefit will be closer to that range.
StarSeeker
•Could be! It really depends on your earnings pattern over the base period. Consistent high earnings generally result in higher benefits.
Ava Martinez
The Washington ESD benefit calculator on their website can give you a rough estimate if you have your quarterly earnings info. But like others said, the official determination is what matters. Good luck with your claim!
Thanks everyone for all the info. This has been really helpful in setting realistic expectations.

•Hope your claim goes smoothly! The whole process can be stressful but most people get through it okay.

I used Claimyr when I was dealing with a complex quit situation and needed to speak with someone at Washington ESD. Being able to actually talk through the specifics with an agent was really helpful for understanding how to present my case.
Nina Chan
•That does sound helpful. Did they give you specific advice about documentation?
Caleb Bell
•Yeah, the agent walked me through exactly what kind of evidence would strengthen my case. It made a big difference in how I approached the application.
Bottom line - you CAN get unemployment if you quit, but you need to prove you had good cause. Your hour reduction and hostile work environment could qualify, but document everything and be prepared for a potentially long process.

•Good luck! Keep us posted on how it goes.
Hope it works out for you. Nobody should have to deal with a hostile work environment.

Update us on how it goes! I'm always curious to hear how these cases turn out. Hoping you get approved quickly 🤞

Even if you get initially denied, you can appeal within 30 days. I've seen lots of people win on appeal even after being denied initially. Don't give up if the first decision doesn't go your way.

•Good to know there's a second chance if needed. Hopefully it won't come to that though.

•Most cases get resolved at the initial adjudication level, but appeals are definitely winnable if you have a good case.

Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice! I feel much more confident about filing now. Going to start the application tonight and document everything I can remember about the termination. Really appreciate this community.
