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!

Make sure you understand the job search requirements once you start receiving benefits. You'll need to log your job search activities and be able and available for work each week.
Good reminder. I've been applying to jobs already but I should start keeping better records of my job search activities.
WorkSourceWA is helpful for tracking your job search activities. You can log everything there and it integrates with your weekly claims.
UPDATE: I just got approved! Filed my claim 5 weeks ago after being terminated and finally got the good news today. Don't give up hope everyone!
Were you terminated for performance issues too? What made the difference in your case?
Similar situation - performance related termination. I think what helped was being completely honest and providing detailed documentation about what happened.

thanks everyone for all the info! this thread has been super helpful. I feel much more confident about taking the part-time work now that I understand the rules better.
You're welcome! Just remember the key points: report everything, keep good records, and don't be afraid to ask Washington ESD if you have questions.
Agreed, this has been really helpful. I'm going to accept the part-time position and just make sure I'm diligent about reporting.
One last tip - if you do get an overpayment notice down the line, don't panic. They're usually fixable if you have good documentation and can show you reported everything in good faith. But obviously better to avoid them in the first place by being thorough with your reporting!
Definitely going to be extra careful about that. Thanks for all the advice everyone!

One more thing - if you do quit and file for benefits, try to get through to Washington ESD to check on your claim status regularly. The phone system is awful but Claimyr really does help. I used it when I was dealing with an adjudication issue and actually got to talk to a real person.
Multiple people have mentioned Claimyr now. Might be worth trying if I go through with this.
Yeah, their demo video shows exactly how it works - https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ. Made the whole process way less stressful.

This thread has been super helpful! I'm in a similar situation and was afraid to apply because I thought working any hours would disqualify me completely.
Same here! I'm definitely going to apply now that I understand how it works.
That's exactly what the partial benefit program is designed for - helping people stay afloat while working reduced hours. Good luck with your claims!

Make sure you have all your wage information ready when you call or file a new claim. They'll need details about any work you did during your current benefit year.

Hope it works out for you! The uncertainty is the worst part of this whole process. At least once you know for sure what your options are, you can plan accordingly.
