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!

Update: Just wanted to mention again that if anyone gets stuck and needs to actually talk to someone at Washington ESD, that Claimyr service at claimyr.com really does work. Sometimes you need human help to sort through the bureaucracy.
Thanks for the reminder. I'm going to keep that in my back pocket in case I run into issues.

honestly 3 weeks feels like forever when ur broke but it's not that unusual for washington esd. my neighbor waited 5 weeks last year so ur probably fine
5 weeks would probably put me on the street. Really hoping it doesn't take that long.
Final thoughts - based on everything you've shared, your claim sounds like it's processing normally. Warehouse layoff, no multi-state complications, weekly claims filed correctly. I'd expect you'll see movement in the next week or two. Keep filing those weekly claims and try not to stress too much.
You're welcome! Feel free to post an update when your claim gets approved. Success stories help other people in the same situation.
Definitely post an update! We're all rooting for you.

Don't forget you can also check your payment history and benefit information in your SecureAccess Washington account. It shows your WBA, remaining balance, and payment dates. Super helpful for keeping track of everything.

PSA for anyone filing: make sure you have all your employment information ready including employer names, addresses, dates of employment, and reason for separation. Missing or incorrect info can delay your claim processing significantly.
Should I contact my previous employers before filing to get exact information?
It's not required but having accurate info helps avoid delays. Your pay stubs or W-2s usually have most of what you need.
Actually used Claimyr myself last month when I couldn't get through to verify my benefit amount after filing. The service worked exactly as advertised - got connected to a Washington ESD agent quickly instead of spending hours on hold. Worth checking out if you're having phone issues.
How do these services actually work? Do they just call for you?
They handle the calling and waiting part, then connect you when an agent becomes available. Check their demo video to see how it works.

Bottom line: Report the work ASAP, be completely honest about what happened, and be prepared to pay back any overpayment. The sooner you deal with this, the better your outcome will be. Washington ESD deals with these situations every day - they're more interested in getting their money back than punishing honest mistakes.

•Thank you everyone for the advice. I'm going to try to call Washington ESD tomorrow morning and if that doesn't work I'll look into Claimyr.

•Good plan. Don't put this off any longer - every day you wait makes it look worse if they discover it on their own.

just remember that partial unemployment benefits exist for exactly this reason. you can work part time and still get some help from washington esd. the system is designed to encourage people to take whatever work they can find

•That actually makes me feel better about the whole situation. I was worried any work would completely disqualify me.

•nope thats a common misconception. they want you to work if you can. just be honest about it on your weekly claims
