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 unemployment tax might seem annoying now but trust me, if you ever lose your job unexpectedly you'll be grateful it exists. Unemployment benefits can be a lifeline while you're looking for new work.
That's a good perspective. Thanks for explaining it - makes me feel better about seeing it on my paycheck

If you do end up needing to contact Washington ESD about your claim determination, Claimyr really helped me get through when I couldn't reach anyone by phone. Sometimes you need to talk to a real person to explain your situation properly, especially for misconduct determinations.
I'll definitely keep that in mind. Thanks for all the advice everyone!
Good luck with your claim! Sounds like you have a strong case based on what you've described.
Just want to echo what others have said - apply for benefits regardless. Washington ESD has to investigate and make a fair determination. Don't let your former employer scare you out of applying for benefits you might be entitled to.
You're right. I'm going to file my claim today and let them decide.
That's the spirit! You've got nothing to lose by applying and potentially a lot to gain.

One thing to watch out for - make sure your Oregon address doesn't mess up your direct deposit or debit card delivery. Update everything at the same time.
Good thinking. I'll make sure all my contact info is current before I submit the application.
Yeah, nothing worse than having payment issues because of an address mixup.
The bottom line is don't overthink it. You worked in Washington, you file with Washington ESD. Living in Oregon now doesn't change that basic fact.
No problem! Hope your claim goes smoothly.
And remember, if you need to talk to someone at Washington ESD and can't get through, that Claimyr thing really works. Check out claimyr.com if the phone lines are giving you trouble.

Just wanted to add that if you worked in multiple states, you might need to file an interstate claim. Washington ESD can help determine if this applies to your situation.
I've only worked in Washington state, so that shouldn't be an issue for me.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful information! I feel much more confident about filing my claim now. Going to get started on the Washington ESD website this afternoon.
Good luck with your claim! Remember to file your weekly claims on time and keep up with the job search requirements.
If you run into any issues getting through to Washington ESD, definitely check out that Claimyr service. It saved me so much frustration.

I'm dealing with the same thing - 5 weeks in adjudication with no updates. The uncertainty is killing me. At least if they gave us a timeline or status update it would be more bearable.

•Exactly! Even just knowing if my case is being actively reviewed or sitting in a queue would help with the anxiety.

•The lack of communication is the worst part. Other states have better systems for tracking claim status.

For anyone still struggling to get through to Washington ESD, I had success with Claimyr last month. They got me connected to someone who could actually see my case details and explain what was happening. Worth checking out if you're desperate for answers.

•I'm starting to think that might be my only option. The regular phone system is completely useless.
