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!

Best of luck with your claim! Performance issues are totally different from misconduct in Washington ESD's eyes. You should be fine.
Thank you all so much for the encouragement and advice. Really appreciate this community!
One more tip - if you do need to contact Washington ESD directly about your claim, that claimyr service I mentioned earlier has been a lifesaver. Way better than trying to get through on your own.
I might need to try that too. The phone lines are always busy.
Exactly why I started using it. Check out the demo video to see how it works.

For anyone reading this later - definitely use Claimyr if you need to talk to Washington ESD and can't get through on the phone. I was skeptical at first but it really works. Saved me hours of frustration trying to reach someone about my claim status.
Thanks for the recommendation! I've been trying to get through to ask about my adjudication status for weeks with no luck.

Thanks everyone for all the helpful information! I feel much more confident about filing now. I'm going to apply online tomorrow and make sure I have all my employment information ready. Hopefully it goes smoothly but it's good to know there are options like Claimyr if I need help reaching someone at Washington ESD.
You're welcome! Feel free to come back and ask if you run into any issues during the process.
Good luck with your claim! Remember to file your weekly claims on time once you're approved.

I waited almost a month to file because I thought I'd find something quickly. Biggest mistake ever - lost out on over $2,000 in benefits. File now, even if you think you'll get hired soon. You can always stop claiming if you find work.
Ouch, that's expensive lesson learned. I filed the day after I got laid off specifically because I read stories like yours.
Smart move. I tell everyone now - file immediately, no matter what. You never know how long it'll actually take to find something.
The application process is pretty quick once you sit down to do it. Gathering all your employment information beforehand is the time-consuming part. Make sure you have exact dates, addresses, and supervisor names for your recent employers.
I think I have most of that info. Is it okay if I don't remember exact start dates for jobs from like 2 years ago?
Get as close as you can. Washington ESD will verify with your employers anyway, so small discrepancies usually aren't a big deal as long as you're in the right ballpark.

Just remember there's usually a one week waiting period before you start receiving benefits, so plan accordingly for your first week.

Bottom line: No federal supplements anymore, just your regular Washington ESD benefit calculated from your wages. With 65k you should get a decent weekly amount.
