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!

One more tip - make sure all your employers reported your wages correctly to Washington ESD. I had one employer who reported my wages late and it initially affected my benefit calculation.
How can you check if all your wages were reported correctly?
When you get your monetary determination, it lists all the employers and wages they have on file. Compare that to your pay stubs and W-2s.

Keep checking your SAW account daily for any requests for additional information. Sometimes they ask for more documentation and you only have a limited time to respond. Don't miss those deadlines!
I've been checking it obsessively actually. Still just shows 'adjudication in progress' with no updates.
That's normal. The status usually doesn't change until they make a final determination. The waiting is the hardest part.
Just want to say hang in there. I know this process is incredibly stressful but you're doing everything right by gathering evidence and fighting back against false claims. The truth will come out.
Thanks everyone for all the advice and support. This thread has been really helpful and made me feel less alone in dealing with this mess.

i remember reading something about interstate claims being different? does that affect benefit duration if you worked in multiple states?
Interstate claims can be more complex, but your benefit duration is still based on the state where you file. If you worked in multiple states, they combine wages from all states for your base period calculation.
ok that makes sense, thanks for clarifying
Bottom line - your benefits end when you either exhaust your allocated weeks (usually 26) or your benefit year expires (52 weeks from filing date), whichever comes first. But definitely verify your specific situation with Washington ESD if you're unsure.
If you have trouble getting through, seriously consider that Claimyr service. It made such a difference for me when I needed answers about my claim.
I might have to do that. Thanks for the recommendation and thanks everyone for the help!

One last thing - make sure you keep filing your weekly claims every Sunday even while you're waiting for your first payment. Don't let any weeks lapse or you'll have to start the process over.
Definitely planning to file every week. Already have a reminder set on my phone for Sunday mornings.
Smart! Consistency is key with unemployment claims. Miss a week and it becomes a huge headache.
