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!

Best of luck with your payment! The first one is always nerve-wracking but it gets easier after that.
Thank you! I really appreciate everyone's help and advice in this thread
Just to summarize for anyone else reading this thread: Washington ESD payments typically take 2-3 business days after your claim shows as paid, first payments may take 3-5 days, and if it's been longer than 5 business days you should contact Washington ESD to investigate potential issues with your direct deposit setup.
Perfect summary! This thread has been really helpful for understanding the timeline and what to expect
Great summary. This covers all the key points people need to know about Washington ESD payment timing.

For anyone wondering, you can find more info about REA on the WorkSourceWA website. They have a whole section explaining the program and what to expect.
Perfect, I'll check that out. Thanks for all the helpful info everyone!

Good luck with your claim! The unemployment system can be stressful but if you stay on top of the requirements you should be fine. Don't hesitate to ask questions here if you run into issues.
Will do, thanks again everyone!

For anyone else going through fraud investigations - the Washington ESD website has a section about fraud prevention and what they look for. Might be worth reading to understand their process better.
I'll check that out. Probably should have read more about this stuff when I first filed my claim.
Don't beat yourself up, most people just needed help and filed quickly during COVID. The important thing is you were honest.
One more thing - if Washington ESD does find any issues with your claim, you have appeal rights. Don't just accept their initial determination if you disagree with it. The appeals process exists for a reason.
Good to know I have options if something goes wrong. Hopefully it won't come to that but thanks for mentioning appeals.
Most of these investigations resolve favorably for legitimate claimants, but it's always good to know your rights just in case.

The bottom line is Washington ESD has a lot of rules and they're not always clearly explained. If you get a disqualification notice or your claim gets flagged, don't just accept it. You have appeal rights and sometimes it's worth fighting. I used that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier to get through to an agent when I needed clarification on my situation.

•How long do you have to appeal a disqualification decision?

•Usually 30 days from the date of the determination notice. Don't wait - the deadline is strict and extensions are rare.

Thanks everyone for all this info. I had no idea there were so many ways to get disqualified. I'm definitely going to be extra careful about reporting everything and keeping detailed records if I ever need to file for unemployment.

•Yeah this thread has been really helpful. The Washington ESD website doesn't explain half of this stuff clearly.
