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!

One last tip - if you do end up needing to contact Washington ESD for any reason after filing, I can't recommend Claimyr enough. Before I found them I literally tried calling for 3 weeks straight and never got through. Their system actually works.
How much does something like that cost?
Honestly worth whatever it costs when you're trying to sort out benefit issues and can't get through any other way. Check out their demo video to see how it works.

Remember you can also appeal any determination if you disagree with Washington ESD's decision. You have 30 days from the date of any notice to file an appeal. Hopefully you won't need that information but it's good to know your rights.
Hopefully it won't come to that but thanks for letting me know the timeframe.
Most claims go through without issues, especially straightforward cases like yours. Just wanted you to be informed!
Last thing - when you do your weekly claims, be completely honest about any work you do or money you earn, even if it's just a few hours. Washington ESD will find out eventually and it's better to report it upfront than deal with an overpayment later.
Good point. I'll make sure to report any income accurately. Thanks again everyone for all the help!
You're welcome! Hope everything goes smoothly with your claim.

One more thing - if you move to another state while collecting Washington unemployment, you need to notify them. The benefits might continue but there could be complications with job search requirements.
I'm not planning to move, but good to know in case my job search expands to other areas.
Yeah, just something to keep in mind. Interstate claims can get complicated.
Bottom line - 26 weeks maximum, file every week, do your job search activities, and respond quickly to any requests from Washington ESD. It's not complicated once you get into the routine.
Thanks everyone! This has been super helpful. I feel much more prepared to navigate this whole process now.
Good luck with your job search! Hope you find something great before the 26 weeks are up.

Just remember - if you run into any issues with your claim, don't wait around hoping it fixes itself. Get help early, whether that's calling Washington ESD directly or using something like Claimyr to get through to them. Problems tend to snowball if you ignore them.
Good advice. I'll make sure to stay on top of things and get help if I need it.

One more thing - if Washington ESD does initially deny your claim, don't give up. You have the right to appeal and many people win their appeals even after being denied initially. The appeals process gives you a chance to present your side of the story.

•Good to know there's a backup plan. Hopefully it won't come to that but it's reassuring.

•Appeals are actually pretty common and successful if you have a legitimate case. Don't be discouraged if you get an initial denial.

•Good luck! You've got this. Remember that most termination claims are approved as long as there wasn't clear misconduct.
