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 claim! Seasonal work is legitimate employment and you've earned those benefits. Don't let anyone make you feel bad about filing.
Thank you! That's really encouraging to hear.

One last thing - if your former employer contests your unemployment claim for any reason, having documentation about your severance package could be important. Keep all the paperwork just in case.
Great point. I've got copies of everything from my termination meeting.
Perfect. Hope your claim goes smoothly!
This whole discussion reminds me why I love reddit for this kind of practical advice. Way more helpful than trying to navigate Washington ESD's website alone.
Totally agree! Getting real experiences from people who've been through it is invaluable.
Yeah, sometimes crowdsourced knowledge beats official documentation.

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.

Just remember that even after you get approved, you have to keep certifying every week and meeting the job search requirements. It's not just a one-time thing - there are ongoing obligations to keep getting benefits.
Yeah I've heard about the weekly certifications. I'll make sure to stay on top of those if I get approved.

Last piece of advice - if you have witnesses who can back up your story, they can usually participate in the hearing too. Just let the hearing office know ahead of time.

•I didn't know that was an option! I might have a coworker who could help support my case.

•Definitely worth asking about. Sometimes witness testimony can really strengthen your appeal.
