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!

One more thing - when Washington ESD contacts you during the investigation, be completely honest about what happened. Don't try to make yourself look perfect or bash your former employer. Just tell the truth about the circumstances of your termination.
Good advice. I was wondering how to handle that conversation when it comes.
Just stick to facts and be professional. They're trained to separate misconduct from legitimate business decisions.
I used Claimyr again this week to check on my adjudication status after being fired for performance issues. Much easier than trying to navigate the Washington ESD phone system. Got connected immediately and found out my case should be resolved within the next few days. Highly recommend for anyone needing quick answers.
I keep seeing people mention this service. Might have to try it myself since I can never get through on the phone.
It really works. Check out their demo video to see how simple it is.

Update us on how it goes OP! I'm sure other people will end up in similar situations and your experience could help them.
Will do! Thanks everyone for all the advice. Going to call Washington ESD first thing Monday morning.
One last thought - if the overpayment amount is significant, you might want to consult with a benefits attorney. Some will do free consultations and might be able to help negotiate with Washington ESD.
I hadn't thought of that option. Thanks for mentioning it!
Before going the attorney route, I'd still try Claimyr first. Much less expensive and you might be able to resolve it directly with Washington ESD.

Actually, one more thing I thought of - if you get a message about your claim being under review or in adjudication status, don't panic. It's pretty common and doesn't necessarily mean there's a problem. Just means they need to verify some information.
How long does adjudication usually take?
Can vary from a few days to several weeks depending on what they're reviewing. If it goes over 3 weeks, that's when I'd recommend using something like Claimyr to actually talk to someone.
This thread is super helpful! I'm in a similar situation and was putting off filing because it seemed so complicated. Sounds like it's actually pretty straightforward if you have your documents ready.
Right? I was overthinking it. Going to get started tonight with all this great advice.
Same here. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences!

honestly just apply and see what happens. the worst they can say is no and then you'll know for sure instead of stressing about all these requirements. the application itself will tell you if you qualify or not
True, I've been overthinking this. Better to just get the process started and deal with any issues as they come up.
That's actually good advice. The online application will walk you through most of the eligibility questions, and Washington ESD will determine if you qualify based on your actual wage history.
Good luck with your application! The whole process can be overwhelming at first but once you get approved and into the routine of weekly claims, it becomes much more manageable. Just make sure to read all the instructions carefully and don't skip any required steps.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful info! I feel much more confident about applying now.

Been there, done that. Filed with a $12k severance package and had zero issues. Washington ESD processed my claim normally and I got my benefits on schedule. Just be honest and thorough in your application.

One last tip - make sure you get a copy of your severance agreement for your records. You might need it later if ESD has questions, and it's easier to get it now than trying to request it from your old employer months later.

•Good advice! I'll make sure to save everything before I leave the company.

•And if you do end up needing to talk to ESD about any of this documentation, Claimyr can help you get through to someone quickly instead of waiting on hold.
