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 follow up on the Claimyr service I mentioned earlier - I've used it twice now when I needed to speak with ESD agents and it's been worth it both times. Much better than spending hours on hold or getting disconnected.
You basically give them your info and they handle the calling and waiting for you. When they get an agent on the line, they connect you directly. The demo video explains it better than I can.
I was skeptical at first but ended up using it last month when I couldn't reach ESD about an overpayment notice. Actually got through to someone who could help me resolve it.
Bottom line: plan for 3 weeks minimum from filing to first payment. If it happens faster, great! If it takes longer, at least you were prepared financially.
Perfect summary! Thanks everyone for all the helpful information. I feel much better prepared now.
Good luck with your claim! Hope it goes smoothly for you.

Just want to echo what others have said about keeping detailed records. I had to appeal my case last year and having documentation of all my job search activities and communications with ESD made all the difference. Better to be over-prepared than under-prepared.
Good advice! I'll make sure to save copies of everything.
One last thing - if you need help navigating the system, most WorkSource offices have staff who can help you file your claim in person. Might be worth calling your local office if you prefer face-to-face assistance.
That's a great option to know about. Thanks everyone for all the helpful information!

If you do get fired and your claim gets contested, you might want to consider getting help with the appeal process. I tried to handle mine on my own and it was overwhelming. Services like Claimyr can connect you with Washington ESD agents who can explain the appeal process better.
Appeals can be tricky if you don't know the system. Having someone explain your options is definitely worth it.
Hopefully it won't come to that, but good to know there are options if I need help navigating the process.
Bottom line - yes you can get unemployment if you're fired, as long as it wasn't for serious misconduct. File your claim right away, document everything, and don't be afraid to appeal if you get denied unfairly.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice! Feeling much more prepared now if this situation goes south.

dont forget you can appeal if they deny your claim! you have 30 days from the determination date to file an appeal if something goes wrong

One last tip - if you do seasonal work or have irregular employment, your claim might take longer to process. They have to calculate your benefit amount based on multiple quarters of wages which can slow things down.

•I worked the same job for 2 years so my employment history is pretty simple.
