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! You should be approved based on what you've shared. The restaurant industry has been hit hard so Washington ESD is used to processing claims from food service workers.
That's reassuring. Thanks again everyone - I really appreciate all the help and advice!

FINAL UPDATE: My claim was approved! Got a letter yesterday saying the adjudication found in my favor and I should receive 4 weeks of back pay within 2-3 business days. Thanks everyone for the advice and support!
About 3.5 weeks total. The Claimyr call definitely helped move things along once I knew what was causing the delay.
awesome! glad it worked out for you
This thread is so helpful! I just entered adjudication yesterday and was panicking. At least now I know what to expect and have some options for getting information.
Hang in there! It's stressful but most legitimate claims do get approved eventually. Just keep filing your weekly claims.
Remember to document everything and respond quickly to any requests for information. Good luck!

Last thing - if you get denied for any reason, you can appeal. Don't just give up if the first decision doesn't go your way. Appeals are common and sometimes the initial decision gets overturned.
How do you appeal if that happens?
They'll send you paperwork explaining the appeal process if you get denied. Usually you have 30 days to file an appeal after getting the denial notice.
Good luck with everything! Unemployment insurance is there for exactly this situation - when good workers lose their jobs through no fault of their own. Don't feel bad about using it, you paid into the system.
Thanks everyone for all the help! I feel way less confused about this now. Going to file my claim tomorrow morning.
And remember if you need to talk to someone at Washington ESD and can't get through, check out that Claimyr service I mentioned. Really saved me a lot of frustration.

The key thing is timing - file as soon as possible after your termination. There's a one-week waiting period anyway, so the sooner you file, the sooner you can potentially start receiving benefits. Don't second-guess yourself about whether you qualify.

Final thought - even if Washington ESD seems intimidating, they're actually pretty reasonable if you were fired for performance rather than misconduct. I've seen way more people get approved than denied for these types of situations. Stay positive!
