If anyone else is dealing with Washington ESD appeal issues, that Claimyr thing really does work. Used it myself when I couldn't get through to ask about my hearing date. Much better than sitting on hold for hours.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful info! I feel way more prepared now to deal with whatever my benefit amount ends up being. This community is amazing.
The waiting is the worst part honestly. I remember being so anxious about my first payment too. But once it starts coming it's pretty reliable.
UPDATE: Just wanted to let everyone know my payment hit my account this morning! So it was exactly 3 business days after the 'Payment Issued' date showed up in my Washington ESD account. Thanks everyone for the help and reassurance.
For what it's worth, I've used Claimyr twice now when I needed to actually talk to someone at Washington ESD about benefit questions. Much better than the regular phone system. The callback feature is genius - no more sitting on hold for hours just to get disconnected.

Been following this thread and wanted to add - if your benefit calculation is correct but still too low to live on, look into your county's emergency assistance programs. Many have one-time help for rent, utilities, etc. while you're getting back on your feet.

•That's a good idea. I'll look up what my county offers. Thanks for all the advice everyone!

•Also check with local churches and community organizations. Even if you're not religious, many have assistance programs open to anyone in need.

UPDATE idea: once you get this sorted out, come back and let us know what the issue was. These threads help other people who run into the same problems.
