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!

When I had questions about my weekly claims, I tried calling Washington ESD for weeks with no luck. Finally used Claimyr to get through and the agent explained everything clearly. Wish I had known about it sooner!
These phone services seem to be getting popular. Is it just for unemployment offices?
I think Claimyr focuses specifically on unemployment agencies. Made sense to me since that's exactly what I needed help with.
One more thing - if your weekly claim gets flagged for any reason and goes into pending status, don't panic. It happens sometimes and usually resolves within a few days. Just keep filing your weekly claims while it's being reviewed.
Could be anything - reporting income, changes in availability, random audits. The system is pretty sensitive but most issues resolve quickly.
This happened to me when I started a part-time job. Took about a week for them to adjust my benefits but everything worked out fine.

One more tip - if you ever don't receive your payment by Thursday, definitely contact Washington ESD because something might be wrong with your claim. Don't wait until the next week to check.
Good advice. I'll keep that Thursday deadline in mind.
Absolutely, earlier is better when it comes to resolving payment issues.

Once the protest period ends and Washington ESD starts their investigation, you'll usually hear something within 1-2 weeks. They're pretty good about keeping cases moving once they start the fact-finding process.
That's reassuring. I was worried it could drag on for months.
Sometimes complex cases take longer but straightforward layoff situations usually resolve pretty quickly.
just remember that even if the protest delays your first payment, you're still building weeks of eligibility. once approved you'll get a lump sum for all the back weeks you filed for
Thanks everyone for all the helpful information. Feeling much more prepared to handle this process now.
You've got this! Most protests against legitimate layoffs get denied anyway.

The bottom line is that most people who get fired for performance issues DO qualify for unemployment benefits in Washington. Don't let fear keep you from filing. You earned those benefits by working and paying into the system.
You're right. I worked hard for 2 years and deserve a chance to get back on my feet. Filing my claim today!
That's the spirit! And remember, even if there's an adjudication period, you'll get back-pay for eligible weeks once it's resolved.
Good luck with your claim! Just remember to file your weekly claims even during adjudication, or you'll lose those weeks permanently. Washington ESD doesn't make exceptions for missed weeks.
Thanks for the reminder! I definitely don't want to mess that up and lose out on benefits I'm entitled to.
Yes this is super important. Keep filing those weekly claims no matter what, even if you're not getting paid yet.

One more thing - if you think your benefit calculation is wrong, you can appeal it. I had to do this when they miscalculated my base period earnings. Took a few weeks but they corrected it and paid me the difference.

•I think it's 30 days from when you receive your monetary determination letter. Don't wait too long.

Thanks everyone for all the helpful info! I feel like I understand the calculation much better now. Sounds like my $644 is probably correct based on my earnings history.
