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!

Good luck with your application! The hardest part is just getting started. Once you get your first payment you'll feel so much better about the whole situation.
Thank you everyone! I feel much more prepared now. Going to gather all my info and apply tomorrow morning.

Claimyr helped me understand my disqualification issue too. I was confused about the misconduct determination and they helped me get through to an adjudicator who explained everything. Sometimes you just need to talk to the right person.
Did you end up getting benefits?
Yeah, turns out what I thought was misconduct actually wasn't. Got it overturned on appeal.
Thanks everyone for all the info! Sounds like I should be okay since I was laid off due to business reasons. I'll make sure to report the cash work I did and document everything properly. Really appreciate all the help!
Good luck with your claim! Just be honest and thorough with everything.
Keep records of everything just in case. The more documentation the better.

Last piece of advice - don't wait if you think you qualify. Even if you're not 100% sure, it's better to apply and potentially get denied than to not apply at all. You can always appeal or ask questions later, but you can't get back those weeks if you wait too long to file.
You're welcome! Hope your claim goes smoothly.
And remember, if you need to actually talk to someone at Washington ESD and can't get through their regular lines, that Claimyr service is there as an option. Sometimes you just need to speak with a real person to get things sorted out.
Good luck with your application! The first time is always nerve-wracking but it's really not that bad once you get through it. Most people get approved without any issues, especially for layoffs.
Thanks everyone for all the help! I feel much more confident about applying now.
You've got this! Feel free to come back here if you run into any problems during the process.

Welcome to the club nobody wants to be in! But seriously, unemployment benefits are there for exactly this situation. Use them while you find something better.
Ha! Yeah, not exactly where I planned to be at this point, but you're right - that's what the system is for.
Exactly! You paid into the system while you were working, so don't feel bad about using it now.
Just remember - file your weekly claims every week, keep looking for work, and document everything. You'll get through this!
Will do! This thread has been incredibly helpful. I feel ready to tackle the application now.
That's what this community is for. Good luck and feel free to ask if you have more questions!

unemployment describes the condition where you become really good at checking your account obsessively lol. I probably logged into my Washington ESD account 5 times a day waiting for updates during adjudication

•Same! And refreshing the payment history page like it's going to magically update mid-day.

•Right? Like somehow checking more often would make them process it faster. The waiting is the worst part.

Bottom line for everyone here - unemployment through Washington ESD describes the condition where you meet their eligibility requirements and follow their processes. Don't let the bureaucracy intimidate you from filing if you think you qualify. The system exists to help people who are out of work through no fault of their own.

•Thanks everyone for all the help! I'm going to file my claim tomorrow and see what happens. At least now I understand the basics of what I'm getting into.

•Good luck! And remember to file your weekly claims even while your initial claim is processing. Don't want to miss any potential benefit weeks.
