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!

File your claim today and start your job search immediately. Even if your claim gets approved, you need to show you're actively looking for work. Keep good records of your job search activities.
Will do. Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice. I feel much more confident about applying now.
You've got this! The hardest part is just starting the process.

Try using Claimyr if you need to follow up on your adjudication status. I was able to speak with someone at Washington ESD who explained exactly what they were waiting for in my case. Made the whole process much less stressful.
Did they give you a timeline for when your decision would be made?
They said most adjudications are completed within 21 business days, but complex cases can take longer. At least I knew what to expect.
Bottom line: Washington ESD cares more about WHY the employment ended than the exact mechanics of who initiated the separation. Focus on documenting the hostile work environment and you should be fine.
Thanks everyone for all the advice! I feel much more confident about my claim now. I'll just wait for the adjudication to complete and be ready with my documentation if they call.
Good luck with your claim! Sounds like you have a solid case based on what you've described.

Sounds like you've got all the info you need! Working part-time while on unemployment is definitely doable. Just be honest with your reporting and you should be fine.
Thanks everyone! This thread has been super helpful. I feel much more confident about taking the part-time job now.

Thank you everyone for all the advice and support! I'm feeling much more confident about the hearing now. I'll update this thread after it's over to let you know how it went. Wish me luck!
Definitely update us! And remember - stay calm, stick to the facts, and you'll do fine.
Rooting for you! The fact that multiple people were laid off at the same time really helps your case.
I just saw this thread and wanted to add that I used Claimyr too when I was preparing for my hearing. Being able to actually talk to a Washington ESD agent beforehand helped me understand exactly what documents I needed to bring. Made all the difference in my case.
That's three people now who have mentioned that service! Definitely seems like it could be helpful for getting those last-minute questions answered.
Yeah, especially when you can't get through on the regular phone lines. The peace of mind was worth it for me.

One last tip - create your SecureAccess Washington (SAW) account first if you don't already have one. You'll need it to access the Washington ESD online services and it can take a few minutes to set up.

•Yeah the regular phone lines are basically useless during busy times. Having an alternative is definitely worth knowing about.
