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!

Yeah, I'm grateful we have this safety net. Now I just need to get approved and find a new job.

For anyone reading this thread later - document everything during your appeal process. Save all emails, letters, and take notes during phone calls. It really helps if there are any issues with the payment processing.
Great advice! I kept detailed records throughout the whole process and it definitely helped during the hearing.
wish i had done that. now i'm trying to reconstruct what happened months ago for my own appeal

washington esd adjudication delays are notorious right now. has nothing to do with immigration policy and everything to do with their understaffed offices
Exactly! They're probably processing claims from months ago still.
So basically I just have to wait it out? That's not very helpful when bills are due.
Your best bet is getting through to Washington ESD directly to check on your specific case. The immigration stuff is a red herring - your claim is being held up by something specific to your situation.
I've tried calling dozens of times. The phone system is impossible.
That's when services like Claimyr become worth it. Sometimes you need to pay for a solution when the free option doesn't work.

Make sure you understand the difference between being fired 'for cause' vs just being fired. Washington ESD cares about the reason, not just the fact that you were terminated. Performance issues typically aren't considered 'for cause' in the misconduct sense.
My termination letter just says 'performance issues' - nothing about misconduct or violations.
That's actually good for your case. If they're not alleging specific misconduct, it sounds like a standard performance termination which usually qualifies for unemployment.
Don't let this stress you out too much. File your claim, be honest about what happened, and let Washington ESD make the determination. Even if they initially deny you, you can appeal the decision. The process exists to help people who lose their jobs through no fault of their own.
Good luck! Remember that even if your employer contests it, that doesn't mean you won't get approved. Washington ESD makes their own independent determination.
Keep us updated on how it goes! Always helpful to hear about other people's experiences with the process.

Honestly the Washington ESD phone system is so bad I'd probably use that Claimyr thing just to avoid the hassle if I ever need to actually talk to someone about stopping my claim.

•The fact that third-party services exist just to help people reach government agencies says something about the system.
