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 - unless you're working for a very small nonprofit or certain religious organizations, you're probably covered by Washington ESD. Most 501c3 organizations participate in unemployment insurance.
Thanks everyone! This has been really helpful. I feel much more confident about my job situation now.
Glad we could help clear things up!
If you're still worried about it, you could also check with Washington ESD directly once you've been working there a bit. They can tell you if your employer is in their system.
Good luck getting through to them though... their phone lines are always busy
That's exactly why I mentioned Claimyr earlier - it actually gets you through to talk to a real person at Washington ESD

Just wanted to say thanks for all the helpful info in this thread! I'm definitely going to file for partial benefits now that I know it's an option. Really appreciate everyone sharing their experiences.
Good luck with your claim! Remember to file as soon as possible since there's usually a one-week waiting period.
Will do! Going to start the application tonight.
I used Claimyr when I couldn't get through to check on my adjudication status and they connected me right away. Definitely recommend if you need to actually talk to someone at Washington ESD instead of just checking your account online.
That's the third recommendation for that service in this thread. Must actually work!
Yeah, I was hesitant at first but the video demo on their site convinced me it was legit. Saved me probably 10+ hours of trying to call on my own.

good luck with your claim! remember that even if you get denied initially, you can always appeal the decision. don't give up if the first answer isn't what you want to hear
thanks for the encouragement. hopefully it won't come to that but good to know
Just one final tip - once you do get approved and start receiving benefits, don't spend all your time just applying for jobs online. Try to mix in some in-person networking, job fairs, that kind of thing. It looks better for your job search log and you might actually find opportunities that aren't posted online.
that's actually really good advice. i've been pretty much just looking online so far
WorkSourceWA also has good resources for job searching and networking events. Worth checking out their website for local opportunities.

Last piece of advice - start looking for work immediately even if you're not required to yet. The job market is tough and unemployment benefits don't last forever. Better to find something while you still have the safety net.
Absolutely. I'm already updating my resume and plan to start applying this week. Thanks everyone for all the helpful info!
