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!

when i had questions about my eligibility i ended up using that claimyr service someone mentioned earlier. honestly it was a game changer - instead of spending my whole day trying to get through to washington esd, i just paid them to handle the calling and got connected to an agent who walked me through everything. saved me so much time and frustration
I'm definitely going to look into that if I run into issues. The phone system at Washington ESD is just impossible to navigate.
Yeah, check out their website at claimyr.com if you need to talk to someone. They have a demo video that explains how it works too.
Bottom line - you'll never know if you qualify unless you apply. The worst they can say is no, and then you'll know for sure. Don't let uncertainty keep you from potentially getting benefits you're entitled to.
You're absolutely right. I'm going to file today. Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences and advice!
Good luck! Hope everything works out for you. The process can be confusing but it's worth it if you qualify.

One more plug for Claimyr if anyone's having trouble reaching Washington ESD. I was skeptical at first but when my claim got stuck in adjudication for weeks, I used their service and finally got answers. Sometimes you just need to talk to a real person.
Alright I'm convinced, bookmarking that site just in case. Hopefully won't need it but good to know it exists.
Same here, the phone system is impossible otherwise. Spent like 4 hours one day just trying to get through.

anyone else notice how all the job postings want you to be passionate about filing insurance claims or whatever boring thing they do?
OMG yes! Like I'm passionate about paying my rent, not your company's mission statement about revolutionizing paper clips.
I hate those applications that ask why you're passionate about working for them. Because I need money to live, Karen!
Final thought - don't let the low unemployment narrative make you feel like you're failing. The job market is still challenging for many people despite what the headlines say. Keep doing what you're doing and something will break your way soon.
Thanks everyone for all the advice and support. At least now I know I'm not crazy for struggling in this 'amazing' job market. Going to keep pushing forward and maybe try that Claimyr thing to talk to Washington ESD about other resources.
Good luck! Feel free to update us when you find something. We're all rooting for you.

honestly just run. any employer who doesnt know basic payroll tax rules is going to cause you headaches. not worth the stress
I'm really starting to lean that way. Better to find a legitimate employer than deal with potential problems later.
Final thought on this - you could also contact Washington state Department of Revenue if you suspect the employer isn't properly registered or paying required taxes. They take tax evasion seriously and it protects other potential employees too.
That's a good point. If they're doing this to me, they're probably doing it to other people too. Thanks everyone for all the advice, this has been really helpful in understanding the situation.

If you're worried about getting disqualified, another option is to use Claimyr to talk to an agent and get clarity on your specific situation. Way better than guessing or getting bad advice online.

•Good luck with your claim! Sounds like you should be fine since you were laid off through no fault of your own.

One last thing - make sure you file your weekly claims on time every week even if you think you might not qualify. Missing those deadlines can create problems even if you're ultimately eligible.
