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!

I was skeptical about services like Claimyr at first but after spending literally 6 hours over 3 days trying to reach Washington ESD about my offset questions, I finally tried it. Got connected to an agent in under 10 minutes who answered all my questions about how the debt would affect my new claim. Sometimes you just have to admit the regular system isn't working.
That's a huge time difference! I might need to look into this if I have issues with my claim
Yeah I wish I had known about it sooner. Would have saved me so much stress and wasted time
Thanks everyone for all the helpful info in this thread. Going to file my claim today now that I know the existing debt won't block it completely. Really appreciate all the detailed explanations!
Remember to report all income accurately this time around to avoid future overpayment issues
Definitely learned that lesson the hard way. Will be extra careful about reporting everything correctly

One last tip - sign up for direct deposit when you file your claim. Paper checks take forever and can get lost in the mail. Direct deposit is much more reliable for getting your weekly payments.
Definitely will do that. Thanks everyone for all the helpful info!
Good luck with your claim! Hope it goes smoothly for you.
Just to wrap up the original question - at your salary level you should qualify for close to the maximum weekly benefit if your earnings were consistent. The key is having steady wages during your base period quarters.
Perfect, that gives me a good idea of what to expect. Really appreciate everyone's help!

Final update request - let us know how it turns out! Your case could help other people in similar situations.
Will do! I'll post an update once I hear back from Washington ESD.
Good luck! Remember that standing up for safety at work is the right thing to do, regardless of what happened with your job. Don't let this discourage you from speaking up in the future.
Thanks. I definitely won't stop advocating for workplace safety, but I'll be smarter about how I approach it next time.

One more thing - keep your pay stubs! If you ever do need to file for unemployment, Washington ESD might ask for wage documentation as part of the application process.
Good tip! I usually throw them away but I'll start keeping them organized.
Digital copies work too if your employer provides them. Just make sure you can access them if needed.
I used Claimyr when I couldn't figure out why my employer reported different wages than what I thought I earned. The Washington ESD agent was able to pull up the exact quarterly reports and explain the discrepancy. Turned out to be a timing issue with when bonuses were reported.
That's exactly the kind of thing I'd be confused about. Good to know there's a way to get real answers.
Yeah, trying to navigate Washington ESD's automated system for complex questions is nearly impossible. Sometimes you just need to talk to a human.

Just to close the loop on this discussion - Washington ESD's payment processing is generally reliable once you understand the schedule. The key is consistent filing, meeting all requirements, and knowing when to reach out for help if something goes wrong. Most payment issues can be resolved quickly once you get the right person on the phone.
