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!

Hang in there. I know the waiting is awful but most cases do get resolved eventually. The system is slow but it usually works in the end.
Thanks for the encouragement. Really helps to have this community during such a stressful time.
Six weeks is frustrating but I've seen cases take 10+ weeks for complex separation issues. If you can get through to Washington ESD directly, they might be able to give you a better timeline for your specific case.
10+ weeks would be devastating financially. Really hoping mine doesn't take that long.
That's why services like Claimyr can be worth it - getting actual information instead of just waiting in the dark.

Really appreciate this community for helping each other navigate the Washington ESD system. It's complicated enough without having to figure everything out alone.
Agreed! These forums are so valuable for sharing real experiences with unemployment claims.
Hope the original poster gets their payment sorted out soon!
UPDATE: Just checked my account and the payment finally showed up! Must have been processed late or my bank was slower than usual. Thanks everyone for the advice and support!
Great news! Glad it was just a delay and not a bigger issue with your claim.
This is why I love this community - people actually follow up with resolutions. Helps everyone learn.

thanks for asking this question OP! i'm in almost the exact same situation and didn't even know partial unemployment was a thing. definitely going to file a claim now.
Glad this thread helped! I feel so much more confident about filing now.
same! the community here is really helpful with these confusing washington esd questions.
One last thing to remember - your benefit year starts when you first file, whether you're partially or fully unemployed. So if you think your hours might get cut more later, it's better to file sooner rather than later to maximize your benefit period.
That's really good to know! I was thinking about waiting to see if my hours picked up but sounds like I should file now.
Exactly. You can always stop filing weekly claims if your hours increase, but you can't get back weeks you didn't claim.

Just wanted to follow up on the Claimyr recommendation from earlier - I tried it yesterday and actually got connected to a Washington ESD agent who helped clarify my benefit calculation. Worth every penny to avoid the phone hassle.
That's great to hear! I'm definitely going to try them for my adjudication issue.
How quickly did they get you through? I'm tired of wasting entire days trying to call.
Bottom line - focus on your current benefits and don't worry about the old $600 supplement. That ship has sailed. Make sure you're meeting all your job search requirements and filing your weekly claims on time. That's what matters now.
You're absolutely right. I need to focus on navigating the current system instead of looking backward. Thanks everyone for all the helpful information!
Good attitude. The current system works fine if you understand the rules and stay on top of your requirements.

Thanks for all this information everyone. I feel much more prepared now to handle whatever happens with my benefits. Time to get serious about the job search!
