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!

Just applied last month and got $558/week. The process was smoother than I expected once I got all my documents together. Make sure you have your social security card and ID ready when you apply.
Thanks for the tip! Any other documents I should have ready?
Your most recent pay stub and separation notice if you have one. Also helps to have your employer's contact info handy.

hope it all works out for you. the job search grind is tough but something will come through eventually. just keep at it and use all the resources available
Thanks for the encouragement. It's been a rough few months but I'm trying to stay positive and explore all options.
same here, we got this! at least now we know there are more options than we thought
Final reminder - make sure to keep detailed records of all your job search activities, income, and any program applications. Good documentation can save you a lot of headaches if questions come up later.
Definitely learned that lesson! I've been keeping spreadsheets of everything since I started my claim.
Smart approach. Good record keeping is essential whether you're on UI, transitioning between programs, or starting new employment.

Thread summary for anyone finding this later: Washington ESD pays unemployment benefits every Tuesday for weekly claims filed the previous week. File Sunday for current week processing, file later for next week processing. First payment may be delayed 3-5 business days. Bank holidays can delay Tuesday payments to Wednesday.
This should be pinned! Thanks for the clear breakdown.

Thanks everyone for all the info. I'm feeling much more confident about dealing with my exhausted claim now. Going to try calling Washington ESD tomorrow to discuss my options.
Good luck! And remember that Claimyr option if you have trouble getting through.
Definitely going to try that service if I can't get through the regular way. Thanks for the recommendation!
Just to add one more point - make sure you apply for jobs and keep your job search log updated even while you're figuring out the exhausted claim situation. You don't want to fall behind on those requirements if you do end up qualifying for a new claim.
Good point, I'll make sure to stay on top of that. Don't want any issues with a new claim if I can get one approved.

Whatever you do, don't admit to any policy violations during the interview even if they seem minor. Stick to the facts about your job performance and separation without volunteering potentially damaging information.

•That's tricky advice. What if they ask directly about policy violations?

•Answer honestly if asked directly, but don't bring up things they haven't asked about. Just be factual without editorializing.

Good luck with your interview! Most people who were genuinely trying to do their job and weren't fired for theft or other serious misconduct end up getting approved. Washington ESD knows the difference between poor performance and willful misconduct.
