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!

I've been getting partial benefits for 2 months now and it's been a lifesaver. Don't let people scare you about the process - yes it's bureaucratic but it works if you follow the rules.
Thanks for the encouragement! I'm feeling more confident about applying now.
Just stay on top of your weekly claims and job search requirements. It becomes routine after a few weeks.
Update us on how it goes! I'm sure other people in similar situations would benefit from hearing about your experience with Washington ESD partial benefits.
Will do! Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice. I'm going to file this week.
Good luck! And remember Claimyr is there if you need help getting through to an agent quickly.

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.

Don't forget that Washington ESD might send you a questionnaire or ask for verification of your employment later. Keep all your paperwork organized in case they need proof of when you started working.
What kind of proof do they usually want?
Usually things like your job offer letter, first pay stub, or a letter from your employer confirming your start date and hours.

Good luck with your appeal! Keep us posted on how it goes. It sounds like you have a legitimate case with the unsafe working conditions and your attempts to resolve them.
I will! Feeling much more confident about this whole process now. Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences and advice.
Just want to echo what others said about using Claimyr if you need to reach Washington ESD. I was skeptical at first but it really does work better than trying to call directly. Worth it when you need answers about important stuff like appeals.
I'm convinced! Going to try it tomorrow to get some of my appeal questions answered directly from Washington ESD.

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.
