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!

Final advice: File your claim online at secure.esd.wa.gov, be completely honest about being terminated, explain the circumstances clearly, and don't let your former employer intimidate you. Washington ESD makes the final decision, not your ex-boss.
Perfect, I'm logging in right now to start my application. Thanks everyone for all the help and support!
You've got this! Come back and update us on how it goes.

Been dealing with Washington ESD for years and the tax side is definitely the part that works smoothly. It's when you actually need to file claims or reach customer service that things get complicated. But at least the funding mechanism is solid.
True that. The money is there, it's just getting access to it that's the challenge sometimes.
That's when services like Claimyr come in handy. Sometimes you just need to actually talk to a human being at Washington ESD to sort things out.
Hope this helps clear things up! The unemployment tax system in Washington is actually pretty worker-friendly since we don't have to pay into it directly. Just another thing our employers handle behind the scenes.
Definitely helps! This whole thread has been super informative.
Agreed! Love when forums actually provide useful info instead of just complaints.

Washington's unemployment system has definitely improved over the years but it's still not perfect. Just be patient with the process and don't hesitate to reach out for help if you need it.
Thanks everyone for all the help and advice. This community is awesome!
Update us on how it goes! And remember, if you need to talk to someone at Washington ESD and can't get through on your own, that Claimyr service has been a lifesaver for a lot of people in this community.
Will do! I'll report back once I get my claim submitted and let you know how the process went.

Quick question - does anyone know if pending fact finding affects your ability to apply for other jobs? I have an interview next week and don't want this to complicate things.
No, it shouldn't affect job applications at all. Fact finding is just an internal ESD investigation process.
Good to know! I was worried about the same thing.
Final thought - keep all your documentation organized while you wait. If they do send you a questionnaire, you'll want to respond quickly with complete information. Don't make them ask twice for the same documents.
You're welcome! Hope your fact finding gets resolved quickly. Remember to keep filing your weekly claims in the meantime.
And don't hesitate to reach out for help getting through to ESD if you need answers fast. Good luck!

Try using that Claimyr service if you really need peace of mind. I was skeptical at first but they actually got me through to someone who could check my claim status. Worth it to stop the anxiety spiral.

•You won't regret it. Just having a real person tell you your claim looks fine and is processing normally makes such a difference.

Bottom line - you'll know you're approved when you can actually file your first weekly claim and you receive your determination letter. Until then, try not to stress too much about it.

•Easier said than done when you have bills to pay, but I understand. I'll try to be more patient.

•I totally get it, been there myself. Just remember that stressing won't make it go faster, and most claims do get approved eventually.
