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!

been getting unemployment for 2 months now and the weekly filing becomes routine pretty quick. just remember to file every week even if you worked some hours, you just report what you earned
What happens if you work a little bit? Do they reduce your benefits?
yeah they reduce your weekly benefit based on how much you earned, but you can usually still get partial benefits as long as you dont earn too much
One last thing - if you have any issues with your claim or need to speak with someone at Washington ESD, I'd definitely recommend checking out Claimyr. I was skeptical at first but it actually worked great for getting through to an agent when I had questions about my benefit amount calculation.
I'll definitely keep that in mind if I run into problems. Thanks everyone for all the helpful explanations!
You're welcome! Don't hesitate to ask if you have more questions as you go through the process.

Jeremiah 29:11 - 'For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.' God has plans for your career that are better than what you can imagine. This season of unemployment is part of that plan.
I claim that verse over my situation. Even when Washington ESD is frustrating and the job search feels hopeless, God has good plans.
That verse got me through my worst days of unemployment. God's plans are always better than ours.
One last thought - Hebrews 13:5 says God will never leave you or forsake you. Even when Washington ESD takes forever to process claims and employers don't call back, God is still with you. He sees your efforts and your heart. Don't let anyone make you feel less than because you're receiving unemployment benefits.
Thank you everyone for all the encouragement and scripture. This really helped me see my situation from a biblical perspective. I feel much more hopeful now.
So glad this thread was helpful! We're all in this together and God is faithful to provide for His children.

Just wanted to follow up on the Claimyr thing I mentioned earlier. I ended up using them again this week to check on my claim status and it worked great. If you're having trouble getting through to ESD, it's definitely worth checking out their demo video to see how it works.
I might give that a try if I run into issues. Thanks for the recommendation.
I've been trying to call ESD for days with no luck. Might have to try this Claimyr service too.
Update: I applied for unemployment after being fired for performance issues and just got approved! The adjudication took about 4 weeks but it was worth the wait. Don't let anyone tell you that being fired automatically disqualifies you.
That's great news! Gives me a lot of hope for my own situation. Thanks for coming back to update us.
Of course! I know how helpful it is to hear success stories when you're going through the process yourself.

The whole unemployment system would be so much easier if they just had better customer service. Half the confusion comes from not being able to get answers to simple questions.
Amen to that. They act like talking to claimants is some kind of burden instead of part of their job.
That's honestly why services like Claimyr exist - because the regular system is so hard to navigate. At least there are options now.
Quick math check for OP - if you were making $62k annually that's about $4,770 per month or $1,192 per week gross. Even at the max benefit of $999 you're looking at about 84% replacement of your gross wages, which is actually pretty good.
Wow, when you put it that way it doesn't sound too bad. Obviously I'd rather be working but at least it'll help cover most of my expenses while I look.
Exactly. Just remember that's gross comparison - your take-home pay difference won't be as dramatic since unemployment is taxed differently.

Make copies of everything before you submit it! I learned that lesson when some of my documents got lost in the process.

Good luck with your appeal! Sounds like you have a solid case if it was just scheduling disagreements. Stay positive and stick to the facts during the hearing.
