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!

Just wanted to add that you should also update your job search activities in WorkSourceWA if you've been using that. Let them know you found employment.
Oh good point, I forgot about that. I'll make sure to update my profile there too.
Yeah, it's a good practice to keep everything updated. Helps avoid any confusion later.

If you run into issues with adjudication taking forever, that Claimyr service I mentioned earlier really helped me get answers. Sometimes these cases get stuck in the system and a quick call to the right person can get things moving again.
I'll keep that in mind if my claim gets stuck. Right now I'm just focused on getting the application submitted.
Just wanted to say good luck! Being fired is stressful enough without worrying about money. Most people don't realize you can get unemployment even when you're terminated as long as it wasn't for serious misconduct.
Thanks for the encouragement. I'm feeling more confident about applying now after reading everyone's responses.

Just want to add that if you disagree with your benefit amount calculation, you can appeal it. I successfully appealed mine last year when Washington ESD missed some of my wages from a previous employer.
Good to know I have options if something seems wrong. How long did the appeal take?
About 6 weeks total, but I got back-pay for the difference once it was approved. Definitely worth it if you think they made an error.
Bottom line for retail workers: expect somewhere between $200-400 per week depending on your hours and wage rate over the past year. File immediately when you become unemployed, and don't stress too much about the exact amount until you get your determination letter.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful info! I feel much more prepared now for when my store closes. Really appreciate this community.
Good luck with your claim! This group is great for unemployment questions if you run into any issues later.

Start preparing mentally for this transition now. It's not just about money but about maintaining your routine and sense of purpose. Having a plan helps with the psychological aspect too.
That's a good point. The uncertainty is almost as stressful as the financial part.
Having some kind of structure and goals really helps. Even if the situation isn't ideal.

I went through this whole overpayment nightmare last year. Turned out my employer had reported my wages under the wrong quarter, which made it look like I was working more than I actually was during certain weeks. Once we got that corrected, the overpayment was removed.

•That gives me hope that it might just be an error. How long did it take to get resolved?

•About 2 months total, but most of that was waiting for my employer to submit the correction. The actual review by ESD was pretty quick once they had the right information.

For what it's worth, I've used Claimyr twice now for different ESD issues and it's been worth it both times. Way less stressful than trying to get through on your own. Their video demo really shows you what to expect.

•I think I'm going to try it. The regular phone system is just too frustrating and I need answers about this overpayment.

•Same here - I finally got through to ESD using Claimyr and got my adjudication issue resolved. Sometimes you just need to talk to an actual person.
