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!

Hang in there everyone. I know it's tough but there are jobs out there. I was in the same situation last year and eventually found something. Don't give up hope.
Thanks for the encouragement. It really helps to hear from people who've been through this and came out the other side.
That's what this community is for. We're all in this together and we help each other get through the tough times.
One last tip - if you're getting close to exhausting benefits, try using Claimyr to get through to Washington ESD and ask about any programs or resources you might have missed. Sometimes there are things available that aren't well publicized.
That's a great suggestion. I've seen several people mention that service now so it must be legitimate. I'll definitely give it a try.
Yeah, I wish I had known about it sooner. Would have saved me a lot of frustration trying to get through on my own.

If you're really worried about job security, you might want to start documenting everything at work now, just in case. It can help if you need to prove you were terminated without fault.
That's smart advice. I'll start keeping better records of my work performance and any issues that come up.
Bottom line - don't stress too much about it right now. Focus on doing well at your current job, but know that if things don't work out, you may have options depending on your work history.
Thanks for all the helpful information everyone! This thread has been really educational.
Glad we could help! Good luck with your job situation.

Keep us posted OP! This is super helpful for anyone else dealing with the same issue.
Absolutely will update once I get some answers. Thanks everyone for all the help and suggestions!
Same boat here. Filed last week and nothing showing up. This thread is making me feel less crazy about it.
Glad it's not just me! Let me know if you figure anything out on your end too.
Will do. Probably going to try that Claimyr service too after reading these comments.

Don't forget that if you receive unemployment benefits in 2025, you'll get your 1099-G form in early 2026 for tax filing. Washington ESD usually mails them out in January.
Good to know the timeline. I'll make sure to watch for that form next year.
You can also access your 1099-G electronically through your eServices account if you prefer that over waiting for the mail.

Another Claimyr success story here - used them when my claim got stuck in adjudication for 6 weeks. Couldn't get anyone at Washington ESD to explain what was happening or when it might resolve. Claimyr got me connected to an adjudicator who walked me through exactly what they needed to complete my case. Resolved within a week after that call.

•6 weeks in adjudication sounds like a nightmare. I hope my claim goes through without issues.

•Most claims are pretty straightforward. Mine had complications because I had some 1099 work mixed in with W-2 employment. Just keep your job separation simple and clear when you file.

Bottom line: file your claim today online at secure.esd.wa.gov. Accept that you lost 8 weeks of benefits and don't lose any more. Set up your SecureAccess Washington account if you don't have one already. The whole process takes maybe 30 minutes if you have your employer info ready.

•Smart move. And remember to file your weekly claims every week going forward - set a calendar reminder so you don't forget.

•Good luck with your job search too! The unemployment will help bridge the gap while you find something good.
