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!

Bottom line - quitting makes unemployment harder but not impossible if you have good cause. Just make sure you can prove that good cause with documentation.
Thanks everyone for all the advice. I have a lot to think about and some steps to take before making any final decisions.
Good luck whatever you decide. Your mental health and safety matter more than any job.
Feel free to update us on what happens! And seriously, get in touch with Washington ESD directly through claimyr or whatever method works. Getting official guidance for your specific situation is invaluable.
Will do. Really appreciate everyone taking the time to share their experiences and advice.
This thread has been super helpful for me too. Going through something similar at my job.

Multiple people have mentioned this service now. Might be worth bookmarking in case I run into issues.
I was skeptical at first but honestly anything that helps you avoid spending all day on hold with ESD is worth it.
Bottom line - maintain unemployment benefits by staying compliant with the basic requirements, communicate with Washington ESD when needed, and don't stress too much about minor issues. The system is designed to help people who legitimately need assistance.
Thanks everyone! This thread has been super helpful. I feel much more confident about maintaining my benefits now.
Good luck! And remember if you do run into problems, there are resources and services like Claimyr to help you get them resolved quickly.

If you run into any issues with your claim or need to speak with Washington ESD, definitely check out Claimyr. I was skeptical at first but it really does work. They handle the calling and waiting so you don't have to sit on hold for hours.
Is that service free or do they charge for it?
There is a fee but honestly it was worth it to avoid the frustration of trying to get through on my own.

The whole process seemed overwhelming at first but once I got through the initial filing it became pretty routine. You'll be fine, just take it one step at a time.
Thanks for the encouragement! I'm feeling more confident about filing now after reading everyone's responses.
Definitely use that Claimyr service if you need to talk to someone at ESD. I tried calling the regular way for two weeks before someone told me about it. Wish I'd known about it sooner!
I'm going to bookmark that for when I need to follow up on my claim status. Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice!
Good luck with your claim! Sounds like you should qualify based on what you've described.

For what it's worth, I used that Claimyr service too after seeing it mentioned here. Really did help me get through to Washington ESD faster than calling on my own. The agent clarified some confusion I had about my remaining benefit weeks.

Bottom line - most people get 26 weeks if they worked steadily before filing. Check your Washington ESD account for your specific situation, keep filing weekly claims, do your job searches, and don't wait until the last minute to find work.
