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!

Quick tip for anyone facing disqualification: Start looking for work immediately even while appealing. Washington ESD requires active job search during the appeal process, and if you win your appeal, you'll need to show you were available and searching the whole time to get back benefits.
Good point. Also keep applying for other social services if you qualify - food stamps, rental assistance, etc. Don't put all your eggs in the unemployment basket.
Thanks for the practical advice. I guess I need to prepare for this to take a while and have backup plans.
The most frustrating part about Washington unemployment disqualifications is how vague the initial notices are. They'll say 'misconduct' but not explain exactly what you supposedly did wrong. You have to dig deeper through appeals or phone calls to get the actual details of their decision.
Exactly! And good luck getting someone on the phone to explain it. The whole system seems designed to discourage people from pursuing their rightful benefits.
That's where services like Claimyr really help - they cut through the phone system nonsense and actually get you connected to someone who can give you real answers about your specific case.

final thought - if you do end up needing to file, gather all your employment records first. pay stubs, W-2s, employment dates, etc. makes the whole process smoother
Thanks for all the advice everyone! This has been really helpful for planning ahead.

File now and don't stress too much about the attendance thing. Washington ESD sees these cases all the time and they understand that sometimes people have legitimate reasons for missing work. Your car breaking down isn't misconduct.
Really appreciate everyone's help and advice. Feeling much more confident about this whole process now.
Good luck with your claim! Let us know how it goes.
Just wanted to add that I also used Claimyr when I had issues getting through to Washington ESD about my claim status. Really saved me time and frustration when I needed to speak with an agent about my adjudication. The service at claimyr.com was worth it for me.
Good to know there are options if I run into problems contacting them. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Bottom line - if you lost your job through no fault of your own and meet the wage requirements, you should apply. The worst they can say is no, but you'll never know if you don't try.
You're absolutely right. I'm going to apply this week. Thanks everyone for all the helpful information!
Good luck with your application! Feel free to come back here if you have more questions during the process.
And remember, if you need to talk to someone at Washington ESD during your claim process and can't get through on the phone, Claimyr is there to help. Sometimes you really need to speak with an agent to get specific questions answered about your unique situation.
I'll definitely keep that in mind. Thanks for mentioning it earlier - I bookmarked their site just in case.

honestly the waiting is the worst part. try not to stress too much about things you can't control. if you file everything correctly and on time, you should be fine

Last piece of advice - if you need to reach Washington ESD by phone and keep getting disconnected, that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier really does work. I was skeptical but ended up using it when I had issues with my weekly claim certification.

•How much does something like that cost? I'm already broke from being unemployed.

•It's worth checking out their website for current info. For me, getting through to resolve my issue quickly was worth it versus losing weeks of benefits.
