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!

This whole discussion makes me glad I set up tax withholding from day one. Worth the slightly smaller weekly payment to avoid stress at tax time.
Definitely agree after reading everyone's experiences. Going to set it up right now.
For anyone still reading this thread - I tried that Claimyr thing mentioned earlier when I couldn't get my tax withholding set up online. Worked great and the agent walked me through the whole process. Sometimes you just need to talk to a real person at Washington ESD.
Good to know it worked for you too. I'll keep that option in mind if I run into any issues.

Remember that filing for unemployment is your right if you're eligible. Don't feel bad about needing assistance - that's what the system is there for.
Thanks for saying that. I do feel a bit weird about it but you're right.
You paid into this system through your payroll taxes. It's there to help you during times like this.
Good luck with your application! The Washington ESD online system at secure.esd.wa.gov is really the most efficient way to get your claim started. You've got this!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate all the guidance from everyone here.
That's what this community is for. Hope everything goes smoothly for you!

yeah and if you do need to appeal or have other issues, that claimyr thing is probably worth it. beats sitting on the phone all day trying to get through to someone
I'll definitely keep it in mind. Thanks again everyone!

If you do decide to quit, write a resignation letter that clearly states your reasons. Keep it professional but specific about the issues that forced you to leave. This can be important evidence later.
Should I mention specific incidents in the resignation letter or keep it general?
I'd include enough detail to establish a clear pattern but keep it factual and professional. You don't want it to sound like an emotional rant.
Thanks everyone for all the advice. I think I'm going to start documenting everything more carefully and maybe try to get through to Washington ESD to discuss my situation before making any final decisions. This has been really helpful.
I'll definitely consider that if I can't get through on my own. Thanks again everyone!

For what it's worth, I used Claimyr when I had questions about my base period wages and they got me through to someone at Washington ESD in minutes instead of hours. Really worth it if you need to talk to someone about your specific situation.

•I saw someone mention that earlier - might be worth trying if I can't figure things out online.

Bottom line - work history across multiple jobs counts toward qualification, not just your current job. You're probably fine as long as you've been working regularly over the past year or so.
