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!

Don't stress too much about the timeline. Focus on your job search and keep filing weekly. The unemployment system in Washington is designed to support you for the full benefit period as long as you meet the requirements.
Thanks, I was definitely overthinking this. Feel much better knowing I don't have to worry about any changes at 90 days.
Glad this thread helped clear things up! Sometimes the system seems more complicated than it actually is.
If anyone else finds this thread with similar questions, the key points are: Washington unemployment lasts up to 26 weeks, not 90 days. Keep filing weekly claims, maintain job search requirements, and check your eServices account for remaining benefit balance. Nothing special happens at the 90-day mark.
Perfect summary! This thread definitely answered all my questions and then some.
Good info to have all in one place. Bookmarking this for future reference.

Thanks everyone for all the info! This is way more complicated than I thought it would be. Going to make sure I stay on top of the weekly filing and keep checking my account daily.
You've got this! Just stay organized and don't let anything slip through the cracks.
Feel free to ask if you run into any specific issues. This community is pretty good about helping each other out.
One last tip - screenshot everything in your Washington ESD account in case there are system glitches. I've seen people lose documentation when the site has problems.
Good thinking. I'll start doing that right away.
Especially screenshot your weekly claim confirmations. Those are proof you filed on time if there are ever disputes.

Don't forget that you'll need to file weekly claims after your initial application. Missing those weekly filings will stop your payments, so set a reminder for yourself.
How often do you have to file those weekly claims? Every Sunday?
You can file weekly claims starting Sunday morning for the previous week. Most people do it Sunday or Monday to stay on track.
Been through this process twice now and my advice is just get it done today. Stop overthinking it, gather your paperwork, and file your claim. Every day you wait is money you're losing.
You're right, I'm definitely overthinking this. Going to file this afternoon. Thanks everyone for the help!
Good luck! The process seems scary but it's really not that bad once you start.

I was skeptical about services like Claimyr at first, but honestly after spending literally days trying to get through to Washington ESD on my own, it was totally worth it. Got connected to an agent in under an hour and was able to get my adjudication questions answered directly. Sometimes you just need to talk to a real person.

•I used them too recently - super straightforward and the agent I talked to was really helpful explaining the whole misconduct evaluation process.

Bottom line: file your claim immediately, be completely honest about everything, and don't let anyone tell you that being fired automatically disqualifies you. Washington's unemployment system is designed to help workers who lose their jobs through no fault of their own, and it sounds like that's exactly your situation.
