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!

This thread has been really helpful. I'm in a similar situation with my employer claiming I was fired for cause when I was actually let go during a restructuring. Sounds like I need to appeal too.
Definitely appeal that! It sounds like we're in very similar situations. Hope it works out for both of us.
Thanks! Reading through everyone's experiences here has given me a lot more confidence about the process.
I tried using that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier and it actually worked great. Got through to a Washington ESD agent in about 20 minutes instead of the usual hours of busy signals. They were able to explain exactly what documents I needed for my appeal.
That's exactly what I need - just someone to talk me through what specific documents will be most helpful for my case.
Yeah, having that conversation beforehand made me feel so much more prepared. The agent even explained what questions I should expect during the hearing.

I had to use Claimyr too when my claim got stuck in adjudication. Worth every penny to actually talk to someone at Washington ESD instead of calling 100 times a day.
Seems like a lot of people have had good luck with that service.
I was skeptical at first but it really works. Got through to Washington ESD in like 10 minutes instead of spending all day calling.
Don't stress too much about it. Most people who get fired for performance reasons have no problem getting unemployment benefits. The system is designed to help people who lose their jobs through no fault of their own.
Thanks everyone for all the advice and encouragement. This community is amazing!
Good luck with your claim! Come back and let us know how it goes.

This thread has been super helpful! I'm in a similar situation and was terrified I wouldn't qualify for benefits after being terminated. Feeling much more confident about filing now.
That's what this community is for! Don't let fear keep you from applying for benefits you might be entitled to.
Agreed! Everyone here has been so supportive and informative. Really glad I asked this question.
Final update: Got approved for unemployment benefits! The whole adjudication process took about 4 weeks but they determined that my termination didn't constitute misconduct. Thank you everyone for encouraging me to apply and not give up. For anyone in a similar situation - definitely file your claim even if you were fired. You might be surprised by the outcome!
Awesome news! The system actually worked like it's supposed to in your case.
Welcome to the approved club! Hope your job search goes well and you find something even better than your last position.

Don't forget you also have to be able and available for work to get benefits. So if you have any restrictions on when you can work or what jobs you can take, that might affect your eligibility too.
I'm available full-time and looking actively, so I should be good there. It's really just the wage requirements I'm worried about.
Update: I just applied online and it was easier than I thought. They automatically calculated everything and told me I qualified! My first payment should come next week. Thanks everyone for the help and advice.
Congrats! It's such a relief when you finally get approved after all the worrying.
Thanks! Now I just need to make sure I don't mess up the weekly claims. Already set a reminder on my phone to file every Sunday.

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.
