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!

For what it's worth, once you get past the waiting week, Washington ESD payments are usually pretty reliable if you keep filing on time and don't have any eligibility issues.
Yep, the waiting week is the worst part. After that it's just the regular weekly routine.
Exactly. The waiting week is like a hazing ritual - once you're through it, the rest is much smoother.
Bottom line: Washington ESD waiting week = no payment but you still have to file. It sucks but that's how the system works. Just gotta push through it.
Thanks everyone for all the explanations. Definitely helped me understand what to expect going forward.
Good luck with your claim! The waiting week is the hardest part mentally.

The most important thing is showing you tried to resolve the situation before quitting. Document every conversation with supervisors, HR, etc. The hearing officer needs to see you made reasonable efforts.
I have emails showing I reported the issues multiple times with no response. Should I print all of them or just the key ones?
Print the key ones that clearly show the pattern of problems and your attempts to resolve them. You can reference others if needed during the hearing.
Remember that the burden of proof is on you to show good cause for quitting. Be prepared to explain not just what happened, but why a reasonable person in your situation would have quit.
That's helpful framing. I'll focus on showing how the situation was genuinely impossible to continue working in.
Exactly. Connect your specific evidence to the legal standard for good cause. Show it wasn't just a personality conflict but a legitimate workplace issue.

If you're really concerned, you might want to try that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier. At least then you could talk to someone and get a real status update instead of just guessing.
I'm definitely considering it. The not knowing is driving me crazy.
It really does help to talk to an actual person who can see what's happening with your claim. Takes away a lot of the guesswork.
Hang in there! I know the waiting sucks but your payment will come through. Just keep filing those weekly claims and checking your account.
Thanks for the encouragement! Really helps to hear from people who've been through this.
We've all been there. The unemployment system is slow but it does work. Your payment is coming!

Last thing - be completely honest about everything. ESD will find out if you lie about wages, work history, or reason for leaving jobs. It's better to have a delayed claim than a fraud investigation.
