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!

The most important thing is to be honest and accurate on your application. Don't try to game the system or leave anything out - it'll just cause problems later when they verify your information.
Definitely planning to be completely honest. Not worth the risk of complications.

The most important thing is to file your claim right away and be completely honest about your severance. Washington ESD has heard it all before and they have clear policies for handling these situations. Don't stress too much about it - just follow their guidelines and you'll be fine.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice. I feel much more confident about handling this now.
Great discussion thread. Really helpful information for anyone dealing with severance and unemployment.
One last tip - make sure you understand your employer's policy on references and rehiring before you finalize your severance agreement. Some companies have restrictions that could affect your job search, and Washington ESD requires active job searching even during your severance waiting period.
Good point about the reference policy. I'll make sure to clarify that with HR before I sign anything.

One last thing - if anyone needs to get specific answers from ESD about their situation, that Claimyr service mentioned earlier really does work. I used it last month when I had questions about my employer account and actually got through to talk to someone knowledgeable instead of getting the runaround.
Good to know it's legit. Might be worth it to get proper guidance instead of guessing about compliance.
Exactly. The peace of mind was worth it for me, especially dealing with tax obligations where mistakes can be expensive.

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.

If you run into any issues with your benefit calculation or need to speak with Washington ESD about discrepancies, I'd recommend checking out Claimyr. They made it so much easier for me to get through to someone who could explain my benefit amount properly.

•I was skeptical about using a service like that but honestly it saved me so much time and frustration. Washington ESD phone lines are impossible otherwise.

Bottom line - with your $55k salary you'll probably get somewhere between $700-900 per week depending on your exact wage pattern. That's decent but budget carefully since it won't last forever.
