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!

keep us updated on how it goes! these denial situations help other people understand what to watch out for
Will do! Hopefully I'll have good news to share in a few weeks.
This thread should be pinned or something. Denial reasons are one of the most confusing parts of the whole unemployment process and Washington ESD doesn't explain things clearly in their letters.
Agreed. The lack of clear communication from ESD creates so much unnecessary stress and confusion.
Exactly! A simple checklist of what they're looking for would save everyone so much time and anxiety.

just remember you have to do the job search requirements even during adjudication. keep track of where you apply because they can audit your job search log at any time
How many jobs do I need to apply to each week?
i think its 3 per week but check the washington esd website to be sure. requirements change sometimes
Bottom line - being fired doesn't automatically disqualify you from unemployment. File your claim, be honest about what happened, and let Washington ESD make the determination. Most terminations for performance issues result in approved claims.
Thanks everyone for all the advice! I'm going to file my claim today and see what happens.
Good luck! Hope it works out for you.

Make sure you're checking both email and your eServices account regularly. They usually notify you multiple ways when there's an update to your claim.
I've been checking daily. Hopefully I'll see something soon!
Good luck! Sounds like you're on the right track. Keep filing those weekly claims and the determination should come through soon. This thread has been really helpful for understanding the process.
Thank you! I really appreciate everyone's help and advice. I'll update this thread when I hear something.

The online application is pretty straightforward once you get started. Just take your time and make sure all the information is accurate. Mistakes can delay your claim.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful info! I feel much more confident about applying now.
One last tip - set up direct deposit if you can. It's faster than waiting for a debit card to arrive in the mail, and you'll get your benefits quicker.
Will definitely do that. You all have been incredibly helpful, I really appreciate it!
Good luck with your application! Feel free to come back if you have any other questions during the process.

For what it's worth, I drove to the Seattle office last month and they do have a small lobby area where you can use computers to access your account, but the staff there really can't help with specific claim issues. They basically just supervise you using the same website you can access from home.

Hope you get this resolved soon! The unemployment system in this state is frustrating but don't give up. There are people who can help, you just have to find the right way to reach them.
