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!

Thanks everyone for all the helpful info! I'm feeling a lot less panicked about this now. Going to use FreeTaxUSA to file and see what I end up owing.
Good choice! And remember, even if you owe more than expected, the IRS payment plan option is always there.
Definitely. This thread has been super helpful - wish I'd asked sooner instead of just worrying about it.

Is it legit though? Seems too good to be true.
Totally legit. They don't ask for your personal info or login details. They just help you get connected to Washington ESD faster.
Remember that being fired and being terminated for cause are two different things in Washington state. Performance issues usually fall under regular termination, not termination for cause.
Is there a difference in how Washington ESD treats those two situations?
Termination for cause (misconduct) can disqualify you from benefits. Regular termination for performance usually won't.

Thanks for sharing all this info. It's encouraging to know that receiving both benefits is possible with the right documentation and approach.
Agreed! This community has been incredibly helpful in understanding the process.

When I was dealing with a complex eligibility question, I found Claimyr really helpful for getting through to someone who could give me specific guidance. Sometimes these general lists are helpful but your specific situation might have nuances that only an ESD agent can properly address.
That makes sense - every situation is probably a little different even if the general rules are the same.
Exactly. The general rules give you a framework, but when you have specific circumstances or questions, talking to an actual ESD representative can save you a lot of worry and potential problems.
Thanks everyone for all this information! This is exactly what I was looking for - a comprehensive overview of what could potentially disqualify someone. I feel much more confident about avoiding problems with my claim now.
You're welcome! The most important thing is to be honest and proactive about reporting anything that might affect your claim.
And don't hesitate to contact ESD if you have specific questions about your situation. It's better to ask and get clarification than to guess wrong.

They add up ALL wages from ALL employers during your base period. Then they look at your highest earning quarter from that total to determine your weekly benefit amount.

That's actually better than I thought. I had three part-time jobs last year so hopefully that adds up to a decent amount.
