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!

Keep us posted on how it goes! Hoping everything works out for you.
Will do, thanks again everyone. This thread has been super helpful!
Last thought - if you do need to contact Washington ESD and are having trouble getting through, seriously check out that Claimyr service I mentioned earlier. It made such a difference when I was dealing with my appeal. The video demo really shows how much time it can save you.
I might have to try that myself, I've been trying to get through to Washington ESD for a week about my own claim issue.
Definitely worth it if you're stuck in phone hell. Way better than spending your whole day redialing.

Just make sure you have all your employment information ready when you file your claim. They'll need your employer's name, address, dates of employment, and reason for separation. Having this information organized will speed up the process.
I have most of that information. My manager said they would confirm my employment if Washington ESD calls to verify.
That's good. Sometimes the verification process can delay benefits if employers don't respond quickly, so having cooperative former employers helps.
I wanted to follow up on the Claimyr service mentioned earlier. I was skeptical at first but used it last month when I couldn't get through to Washington ESD about my pending claim. It actually worked really well and saved me probably 6 hours of calling. The person I spoke with at Washington ESD was able to resolve my adjudication issue right away.
It's not free but it's way cheaper than losing days of work trying to get through to Washington ESD on your own. The time savings alone made it worth it for me.
I agree with this. I spent literally 8 hours over 3 days trying to get through to Washington ESD. Used Claimyr and got connected in under an hour. Sometimes you have to spend a little to save a lot of time and stress.

I'm going on week 6 with no payment and no explanation. My claim status just says 'under review' with no details. This is affecting my ability to pay for basic necessities. The lack of communication from Washington ESD is unacceptable.
Have you tried using Claimyr to get through to someone? I've seen several people mention it in this thread and it might be your best bet for getting answers.
I'll look into it. At this point I'm willing to try anything to get some information about what's happening with my claim.
For what it's worth, once the payments start coming, they're usually pretty reliable. The initial wait is brutal but after that it's mostly smooth sailing as long as you meet all the requirements.
That's reassuring to hear. Right now it feels like this process will never end.
Hang in there. I know it's stressful but most claims do get processed eventually. The waiting is the hardest part.

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.
Update us on how it goes! Always curious to hear how these situations turn out. Sounds like you have a strong case based on what you've described.
Will do! Planning to file my claim tomorrow morning. Thanks everyone for the advice and encouragement - feeling much more confident now.
Good luck! You've got this. Remember that most termination claims are approved as long as there wasn't clear misconduct.

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.

Thanks everyone for all the helpful info! Hopefully I won't need it but at least now I have a better understanding of how it all works.

•Good luck! And remember, if you do need to file, do it as soon as possible after becoming unemployed. There's no retroactive benefits for delayed filing.
