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 thing - if you're filing taxes and realize you need to contact Washington ESD about something on your 1099-G, don't waste time calling the regular number. I spent weeks trying to get through until someone told me about Claimyr. Got connected to an agent the same day and sorted out my issue.
How does that work exactly? Do they just call for you or what?
They have this system that monitors the phone lines and calls you back when an agent is available. Way better than sitting on hold forever.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful info! I feel much more confident about handling this on my tax return now. The distinction between earned and unearned income makes sense now that it's been explained clearly.
Same here! This thread has been super helpful. Good luck with your taxes!
Glad we could help clear things up. Tax season is stressful enough without being confused about the basics.

One last thing - make sure you have all your employment information ready when you file. You'll need dates of employment, wages, and reason for separation for each job in your base period.
Should I gather all that before I start the application?
Yes, it'll make the process much smoother. Have your W-2s, pay stubs, and employment records handy when you file online.
Good luck to everyone dealing with unemployment right now. It's stressful but the benefits can really help bridge the gap while you're looking for new work.
Thanks! Feeling much better about the whole process after reading all these responses.
That's what this community is for - helping each other navigate these systems. Hope your claim goes smoothly!

The employer has to prove misconduct, not just claim it happened. Washington ESD will look at documentation, warnings, policies, and your work history. If they can't prove willful misconduct, you'll likely get approved.
That's really helpful to know. I feel more confident about filing now.
Good luck with your claim! Just be patient with the adjudication process.

Just want to echo what others said about Claimyr - used them last month when I couldn't get through about my overpayment issue. Really helpful for actually reaching a human at Washington ESD when you need answers quickly.

For anyone still having trouble reaching Washington ESD about duration questions, I had success using that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier. Got through to an agent who explained exactly how my weeks were calculated.

•Did they charge you for that service?

•There's a fee but it was worth it to get accurate info directly from an agent instead of guessing. Much better than spending days trying to call.

Bottom line - check your monetary determination for the exact number, but plan for up to 26 weeks. Keep filing weekly, do your job searches, and stay organized. The system works if you follow the rules.
