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 thing - if you disagree with any decision Washington ESD makes about your claim, you have the right to appeal. You get 30 days from the date of the decision to file an appeal, so don't wait if you think there's been a mistake.
Good to know about the appeal process. Hopefully I won't need it, but it's reassuring to know there's recourse if something goes wrong.
Most people never need to appeal, but it's important to know your rights. The appeal process is pretty straightforward if you ever need it.
This thread has been super helpful! I feel like I actually understand the process now. Going to file my initial claim tonight and set up reminders for weekly claims. Thanks everyone for breaking this down.
Glad we could help! Remember to file that weekly claim every week and keep good job search records. You've got this!
Thank you all so much! This was exactly what I needed to understand how everything works.

This thread is giving me anxiety about my own account now! I better write down my login info somewhere safe in case this happens to me.
Yeah definitely be careful with multiple login attempts!
I use a password manager to avoid this exact problem. Worth the investment.
UPDATE: I finally got through using that Claimyr service and got my account unlocked! The whole process took about 45 minutes from start to finish. The ESD agent was actually really helpful and explained that my account got flagged because I'd been logging in from different devices. Thanks everyone for the advice!
Great news! Now you know for next time to stick to one device if possible.
Yes thank you all so much! I was able to file my weekly claim right after getting unlocked. Crisis averted!

Last thing - make sure you're completing your work search requirements if they apply to your claim type. Sometimes payments get held up if you're missing job search documentation.
I've been logging my job searches in WorkSourceWA like they told me to. Hopefully that's enough.
That should be fine. Just keep doing what you're doing with the job search log.

The whole employer tax thing is interesting. I work in HR and we definitely track our unemployment claims because they affect our tax rate. But we only contest claims when we believe there was actual misconduct, not just poor performance.

•That's reassuring to hear from someone on the employer side. What would you consider misconduct vs. performance?

•Misconduct would be things like theft, harassment, repeatedly violating safety rules, or refusing to do assigned work. Missing deadlines or not meeting sales goals would typically be performance issues.

Just want to echo what others have said - don't let your employer discourage you from filing. I was told the same thing when I got fired and it turned out I was eligible the whole time. Washington ESD will investigate and make their own determination regardless of what your employer says.
