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!

This is reassuring. I think I've been overthinking every little change. Will give it a few more days before I panic. Thanks again everyone!
I'm new to this whole unemployment process and reading through everyone's experiences here is both helpful and nerve-wracking! I just filed my initial claim yesterday and I'm already checking the website obsessively. Sounds like I need to manage my expectations about how often updates happen. Quick question - when you all say "weekly claims," is that something separate from the initial application? I want to make sure I don't miss any required steps while I'm waiting for my claim to be processed.

One last thing - make sure you have all your pay stubs and tax documents from this past season before you file. Washington ESD might ask for verification of your wages.
Good reminder! I should gather all that paperwork before I start my claim. Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice!
You're welcome! Seasonal workers gotta stick together. Feel free to ask if you run into any issues with your claim.
I'm also a seasonal worker (summer camp counselor) and just wanted to add that you should apply as soon as possible after your last day of work. Don't wait thinking you need to look for other jobs first - you can start the claim process right away. The sooner you file, the sooner your waiting week starts. Also, keep detailed records of all your job search activities from day one because Washington ESD can audit those records at any time. Good luck with your claim!

Just wanted to add that the Spokane office is open 8:30-4:30 and they were actually pretty helpful when I went there for help filing my initial claim. But they were clear that they couldn't help with anything related to adjudication or appeals.
Good to know they're helpful for basic stuff at least. Too bad about the adjudication limitations.
Yeah, the staff there was nice but their hands are tied when it comes to the more complex issues.
This is exactly why the system is so frustrating. Simple cases sitting in queues for weeks while people can't get through to get them resolved.
That's really encouraging to hear! I've been stuck in adjudication limbo for over a month too and getting nowhere with the phone system. Definitely going to check out Claimyr - sounds like it's worth trying if it actually gets results. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Hope your reopen goes smoothly! It's really not as complicated as it seems at first. Most people get approved within a few days and can start filing their weekly claims again right away.
Thanks! Really appreciate everyone taking the time to share their experiences and advice. This community is so helpful.
I went through this exact same situation about 6 months ago! When you stop filing for more than a few weeks, Washington ESD automatically puts your claim on hold as a safety measure. The reopen process is actually pretty straightforward - you'll need to confirm your current employment status, update any changes in your situation, and verify you're still available for work. The good news is you keep your original benefit year and weekly amount, so you're not starting from scratch. Just make sure you don't try to claim any weeks when you were working that part-time job. The whole process took about 4 days for me and then I was back to filing weekly claims normally.

•No, they didn't mention any timeframe in the voicemail. Just that they needed to speak with me about my separation and that they'd make a decision with or without my input. Have you received any calls from an adjudicator during those 5 weeks?

•After 5 weeks with no contact, you should be raising hell! Call your state representative's office and file a complaint. That often speeds things up mysteriously. ESD has legal timeframes they're supposed to follow for making determinations.

I just went through this exact same thing two weeks ago! Got the scary voicemail and panicked just like you. Here's what I learned: the adjudicator is required to give you a reasonable opportunity to respond, but "reasonable" is subjective. In my case, I called back within 24 hours and had the interview the next day. During the call, be prepared to explain not just what happened, but WHY it happened. For performance issues, focus on specifics - were you given clear performance metrics? Did you receive proper training? Were the expectations communicated in writing? If your manager kept changing expectations without proper documentation or training, that actually works in your favor. Also, don't be afraid to ask the adjudicator questions during your call. They're supposed to be neutral fact-finders, not advocates for your employer. Ask them to clarify anything your employer claimed that doesn't match your experience. The whole process took about a week from my phone interview to getting the approval decision. You've got this - just call them back ASAP and be honest but thorough in explaining your side!
