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!

I've been following this thread and it's really helpful. I'm in a similar situation but with SSDI instead of SSI. Looks like I need to do a lot more research before making any decisions.
Yeah, this thread has been eye-opening. I had no idea how complicated this could get.
The key takeaway is that you really need professional guidance for anything involving disability benefits and work. The stakes are too high to guess.
Just wanted to add that if you do need to contact Washington ESD about this, don't give up if you can't get through right away. It took me weeks of trying but I eventually got the information I needed. The agents are actually pretty knowledgeable about these complex situations once you reach them.
Or you could try Claimyr like I mentioned - much faster than trying to get through on your own. They've really streamlined the process of reaching Washington ESD agents.
I hadn't heard of that service but it sounds like it could be really helpful for people dealing with complex situations like this.

Don't overthink it too much. The system is designed to handle people in your exact situation. File as soon as you can after your last day, be honest about everything, and keep doing your weekly claims. Most people don't have major issues if they follow the basic rules.
That's reassuring, thank you. I think I was making it more complicated in my head than it needs to be.

I wish there was better communication about timelines from Washington ESD. The uncertainty of not knowing when you'll hear back about adjudication makes everything so much more stressful.
Totally agree! The waiting period is the worst part. At least if they gave you a better estimate of how long it would take, you could plan accordingly.
This is why I'm thinking about trying Claimyr to actually talk to someone. The uncertainty is driving me crazy.
Just want to say good luck with your claim! Being fired is stressful enough without having to worry about whether you'll get benefits. At least you know now that it's worth filing and seeing what happens.
Thank you! I feel much better about the whole situation after reading everyone's responses. Going to file my claim today.
That's great! Hope everything works out for you. Keep us updated on how it goes.

The system actually works pretty well for encouraging people to take whatever work they can find while still looking for something better. Just wish Washington ESD made the rules clearer upfront instead of people having to figure it out through forums like this.
Totally agree. So much confusion could be avoided with better communication from Washington ESD.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful info! I'm definitely going to file my claim and report my part-time earnings. Sounds like as long as I'm honest about everything and keep looking for full-time work, I should be fine.
You've got the right attitude! Just remember to file every week and report all earnings accurately. Good luck with your job search!
Thanks so much everyone! This thread has been super helpful. I feel much more confident about filing now.

Thanks for asking this question OP! I'm in a similar situation and this thread has been super helpful. Sounds like as long as you follow the rules and keep good records, moving shouldn't be a problem for your unemployment claim.

One last thing - if you do end up needing to contact Washington ESD about your interstate claim and can't get through on the phone, that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier really does work. I was skeptical at first but it saved me hours of trying to call on my own.
