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 ASAP! There's a waiting period and delays in processing, so the sooner you start the process the better. Don't let your employer's concerns delay your financial security.
You're absolutely right. Filing today. Thanks everyone for all the helpful information and support!
Good luck! Hope your claim goes through smoothly.

Another vote for Claimyr if you need to talk to someone at Washington ESD about the appeal process. I used them when I was confused about deadlines and they connected me right away. Much less stressful than trying to navigate the phone system yourself.
I keep seeing mentions of this service. Might be worth it just for peace of mind.
Definitely worth it when you're dealing with something as important as your unemployment benefits.
Last piece of advice - submit your appeal as early as possible within that 30-day window. Don't wait until the last minute in case there are any technical issues with the submission.
Great point. I'm going to finish writing it this weekend and submit it by Monday.
Perfect! That gives you plenty of buffer time and shows Washington ESD you're taking it seriously.

One thing to remember is that your benefit amount is based on your earnings during your base period. Since you were part-time, your weekly benefit might be lower than someone who worked full-time, but every little bit helps when you're struggling financially.
That makes sense. Even a partial benefit would help me cover some bills while I look for more work.
Exactly! And like others mentioned, you can still work part-time and collect partial benefits, which might be the perfect situation for your circumstances.
Final update: I submitted my application! It says it's being processed and I should hear back within 7-10 days. Thanks again everyone for all the encouragement and practical advice. This thread definitely made the whole process less intimidating.
Great job! Keep us posted on how it goes. Your experience might help the next person in a similar situation.
awesome! hope everything works out for you

My cousin went through this exact situation and got approved for benefits. The key was having her doctor write a letter specifically stating that her work environment was detrimental to her mental health and that leaving was medically necessary.
That's encouraging to hear. I'll ask my doctor about writing a letter like that.
Make sure the letter is detailed and connects your health issues directly to your work situation.
Just wanted to add that if you do get denied initially, don't give up. The appeals process exists for a reason and many people who get denied the first time are approved on appeal.
It is overwhelming but you're not alone. Lots of people have been in your situation and gotten through it.
Exactly. And remember that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier can help if you need to talk to Washington ESD during the process. Don't suffer in silence trying to get through on the phone.

Good luck! The process can seem overwhelming at first, but once you get the hang of filing your weekly claims, it becomes routine. Don't hesitate to ask if you have more questions.

You've got this! The hardest part is just getting started. Make sure to file your initial claim as soon as possible to get that waiting week behind you.
