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!

just wanted to say good luck with your appeal! I know how nerve wracking it can be but if you truly had good cause you should prevail
Thank you so much! This thread has been incredibly helpful. I feel much more prepared now.
Come back and let us know how it goes! Your experience could help others in similar situations.
One more tip - if you used Claimyr or any service to get information from Washington ESD, that shows you were trying to understand the system and follow proper procedures. That kind of good faith effort can help your credibility.
I hadn't thought of that angle but it makes sense. Shows I was taking the process seriously.
Exactly. The hearing officer wants to see that you made reasonable efforts to resolve issues before quitting and that you're engaging properly with the appeal process.

thanks everyone for all the advice. this has been way more helpful than the generic info on the washington esd website. going to file for UI this week and be very careful about documenting everything
Glad this thread helped you too! It's nice to know other people are dealing with similar situations.
Good luck to both of you. Remember to keep detailed records and don't hesitate to get professional guidance if things get complicated.
One last resource - the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services has some information about how different benefit programs interact. Might be worth checking their website too for official guidance on this topic.
I'll definitely look into that. The more official information I can get, the better I'll feel about handling this correctly.

Hope your claim goes smoothly! Keep us updated on how the process goes. Always helpful to hear real experiences with Washington ESD claims.
Will do! I'll report back once I know more about how it all works out.
And remember, if you need to actually talk to someone at Washington ESD about your claim status or have questions, services like Claimyr can save you a lot of frustration trying to get through on the phone. Sometimes you just need to speak with a real person to get answers.
I'll keep that in mind. The phone system can be really frustrating when you have urgent questions.

For anyone reading this thread who's struggling to get information from Washington ESD before their hearing, I had success using Claimyr to actually speak with someone who could clarify the appeals process. Sometimes you really need that human contact to understand exactly what you're up against. The video demo on their site shows exactly how it works - https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ
I'm definitely going to check this out. I've been trying to call Washington ESD for two weeks with no luck.
Yeah, the regular phone system is basically impossible. This service actually gets you through to someone who can help.
Just want to say good luck to everyone dealing with appeals! The system makes it way harder than it should be, but don't give up. You paid into unemployment insurance and you deserve those benefits if you qualify.
Thank you for the encouragement! This thread has been incredibly helpful in preparing for my hearing.
Seriously, this community is so supportive. We all need to stick together dealing with these bureaucratic nightmares.

One last tip - keep detailed records of everything. Save all your correspondence with Washington ESD, keep track of your job search activities, and document any issues you have. You never know when you might need that information.

Just to give you hope - I was in your exact situation last year and everything worked out fine. The first few weeks are stressful but once you get into the routine it becomes manageable.

•You've got this! Focus on the job search and the benefits will take care of themselves once the system processes your claim.
