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 day doesn't matter but I always recommend filing on a weekday if possible. If you run into technical issues or have questions, it's easier to get help during business hours than on weekends.
That's smart thinking. I'll file this afternoon while I can still call if I need help.
Good plan. Even though the system is available 24/7, having support available if you need it is definitely better.
Update us after you file! Always curious to hear how the process goes for people. Washington ESD has made some improvements to their online system recently so hopefully it's smoother than it used to be.
Will do! Thanks again everyone, this has been super helpful. Going to file right now.
Good luck! You've got this. The hardest part is just getting started.

Keep documenting everything while you wait - save screenshots of your claim status, keep records of when you filed, etc. If there are any issues later you'll want that paper trail.
Good advice, I haven't been keeping screenshots but I'll start doing that now.
Update us when you hear back! It's helpful for others in similar situations to know how long it actually took and if there were any issues to watch out for.
Will do! Hopefully I'll have good news to share soon. Thanks everyone for all the helpful information and reassurance.
Yes please update us. Real experiences help other people know what to expect.

Thanks everyone for clearing this up. I feel much more confident about filling out my forms now knowing unemployment is unearned income, not earned income.
Exactly! This thread saved me from potentially making mistakes on important paperwork.

Whatever you do, don't wait around hoping this gets fixed automatically. Washington ESD doesn't proactively correct mistakes - you have to take action through the appeal process.
Got it. I'm going to file the appeal today and try calling one more time with that Claimyr service people mentioned.
Smart plan. Having both the appeal filed and speaking to someone directly gives you the best chance of quick resolution.
been following this thread because i'm dealing with washington esd issues too. sounds like you have a strong case with that termination letter
Thanks! Hoping it gets resolved quickly. This whole process is more stressful than losing my job was.
Hang in there. Most people win appeals when they have clear documentation like you do.

One last thing - if you worked in multiple states, you might need to file in the state where you worked the most hours. Washington ESD can help determine which state you should file in.
