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!

How much unemployment will I get from Washington ESD - weekly benefit calculation help

I'm trying to figure out how much my weekly unemployment benefit will be before I file my claim with Washington ESD. I made about $52,000 last year working full time at a manufacturing company until I got laid off two weeks ago. I've heard it's based on your highest earning quarter but I'm not sure how to calculate it. Does anyone know the formula Washington ESD uses? I need to know for budgeting purposes since I have rent and car payments to worry about.

glad this thread helped. wish i had known about claimyr when i was dealing with my claim issues. would have saved me a lot of headaches

Same here. I'm feeling much more confident about filing my claim now that I understand the process better.

How long after Washington ESD unemployment payment is released does it actually hit your account?

My weekly claim was processed two days ago and shows 'payment released' on my Washington ESD account, but I still don't see the money in my bank account. This is my first time getting unemployment benefits and I'm not sure what's normal. How long does it usually take after Washington ESD releases the payment for it to actually show up? I'm using direct deposit with Wells Fargo if that matters.

Update: Just wanted to let everyone know my payment showed up this morning! Took exactly 2 business days after 'payment released' showed on my Washington ESD account. Thanks for all the helpful info.

Glad it worked out! Now you know what to expect for future payments.

Perfect timing - that's exactly what we'd expect for a Wells Fargo direct deposit.

0 coins

This thread is really helpful for new claimants. Washington ESD should put this timing info somewhere obvious on their website instead of making people guess.

0 coins

Agreed - their website has so much information but not the practical stuff people actually need to know.

What does remaining balance mean on Washington ESD unemployment account?

I'm looking at my Washington ESD account and there's a section that shows 'remaining balance' but I'm not sure what this number actually represents. Is this how much money I have left to claim? Or is it something different? I've been getting my weekly payments but want to make sure I understand what I'm looking at. Anyone know what this means?

Another Claimyr success story here - used it when I was confused about my remaining balance calculation and got connected to someone who explained everything. Way better than trying to navigate their phone system alone.

How quickly did they get you through?

0 coins

Same day, which was amazing considering I'd been trying to call for over a week on my own.

Hope this thread helped clarify things! The remaining balance is definitely one of those things that seems obvious once you understand it but can be confusing at first.

Definitely helped a lot! Thanks everyone for explaining it so clearly.

Where does Washington ESD unemployment funding actually come from - confused about the system

I've been on unemployment for 2 months now and I keep wondering - where does this money actually come from? Is it coming out of taxpayer funds? My employer's contributions? I tried looking it up but the Washington ESD website just has generic info about the trust fund. Does anyone know how this system actually works? I feel guilty collecting benefits but my friend says I shouldn't because I 'paid into it' but I'm not sure what that means exactly.

Great thread! I learned something new today about employer experience ratings and trust fund mechanics.

Washington ESD approved my claim - when will I actually get paid?

My unemployment claim finally got approved yesterday after 3 weeks of waiting! The portal shows my claim status changed from 'pending' to 'approved' but I haven't received any payment yet. Does anyone know how long it takes after approval to actually see money in your account? I'm using direct deposit and really need to know when to expect the funds since I'm behind on rent.

I used Claimyr when I had payment issues and it really helped. Got through to someone who explained exactly what was happening with my claim. Worth having their info saved just in case.

Good to know it actually works. The testimonials make it sound almost too good to be true.

0 coins

I thought the same thing but it's legit. Much better than the regular phone system.

UPDATE: Just got my payment! Exactly 2 business days after approval like everyone said. Thanks for all the advice!
