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!

And if you need to talk to Washington ESD about anything after filing, seriously consider using Claimyr to get through their phone system. It's been a game-changer for a lot of people dealing with claim issues.
I second this recommendation. Wish I had known about it when I was trying to resolve my adjudication issue.

Update us when you hear back from Washington ESD! This kind of case is really interesting from a legal standpoint. Workplace safety retaliation cases often favor the employee, especially with documentation like you have.
I definitely will update once I hear something. Thanks everyone for all the advice and encouragement - it really helps!
Good luck with everything. You seem to have a solid case based on what you've described.
One more plug for that Claimyr service if anyone needs to actually talk to Washington ESD about their case. I used it again last week for a different issue and got through immediately. Sometimes you just need to speak to a human, and this makes that possible without the usual hassle.
I checked out their demo video and it looks legit. Might be worth it just for peace of mind when dealing with adjudication stress.
I bookmarked it just in case. Hopefully I won't need it but good to have as a backup option.

Last piece of advice - screenshot or save any text messages, emails, or other communications you have related to the problems at your old job. Digital evidence can disappear and you want to preserve everything while you still have access to it.
Good thinking. I'll go through my phone and email tonight to see what I can find.
Perfect. Even seemingly unimportant messages might help establish the timeline or pattern of problems.
Thanks everyone for all the advice! I'm feeling much more hopeful about this now. Going to file my claim this weekend and start gathering documentation. Will update you all on how it goes.
Wishing you the best! And remember that Claimyr option if you need to actually talk to someone at Washington ESD.
You've got this! The fact that you're being proactive about documentation shows you're taking the right approach.

One more thing - check your payment method settings. If you're approved but haven't set up direct deposit or a debit card, that could delay things even if your claim is active.
Good catch! I think I set up direct deposit but I'll double check that it went through properly.
The waiting is the worst part honestly. I remember checking my account like 10 times a day when I first applied. But once you see that weekly benefit amount and can file claims, you know you're good to go.
Thanks everyone for all the help! I feel much more confident about what to look for now. Really appreciate this community.

One thing that helped me was keeping a log of when I filed, what status changes I saw, and any communications from Washington ESD. Made it easier to track progress and have specific questions ready when I finally got through to someone.

For what it's worth, I used Claimyr when I was in a similar situation and the agent was able to tell me exactly what stage my claim was in and what to expect next. Worth the peace of mind when you're dealing with this kind of uncertainty.
