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!

Hang in there OP. I know it's stressful but the appeal process does work when you have a legitimate case. Sounds like your employer made an error in how they reported your separation.
Thanks for the encouragement. Just trying to stay positive and keep all my documentation organized for when the hearing finally happens.
That's the right attitude. Having your paperwork ready and staying on top of your weekly claims puts you in the best position to win.
For what it's worth, voluntary quit disputes tend to move a bit faster than some other types of appeals because the facts are usually more straightforward. Still takes forever though.
That's somewhat reassuring. Hopefully I'll hear something in the next few weeks then.
Keep filing those weekly claims and document everything. You're doing everything right, just have to wait for the system to catch up unfortunately.

update: I decided to try talking to HR first like someone suggested... we'll see how that goes
thanks, fingers crossed but not getting my hopes up too high
Make sure to document that conversation too, regardless of how it goes.
This is why I'm scared to ever quit a job even when it's awful. The uncertainty of whether you'll get benefits is terrifying.
Right? Like we're trapped even when employers treat us badly.
It's not perfect but there are protections for workers who quit for legitimate reasons. The key is knowing your rights and documenting everything properly.

Final thought - when you are ready to file and need to speak with Washington ESD about your specific medical situation, remember that Claimyr service can help you actually get through to talk to someone. Medical leave cases often need that personal touch from an ESD agent to get processed correctly.
Thanks for mentioning that again. I have a feeling I'm going to need to talk to someone directly given how complicated this situation is.
Medical cases definitely benefit from talking to an actual person rather than trying to handle everything online.
Hope your surgery goes well and recovery is smooth! The unemployment stuff will work itself out once you're healthy again.
Thank you so much! This thread has been really helpful in understanding what to expect.
This community is great for figuring out all the confusing ESD stuff. Good luck with everything!

I was in adjudication for weeks because I was honest about being selective in my job search. Turned out fine in the end, but it delayed my benefits significantly.

•I mentioned in my initial interview that I was looking for the 'right opportunity' and they flagged it as potentially not being available for work. Just be careful how you phrase things.

•This is exactly the kind of situation where talking to a Washington ESD rep through Claimyr could help clarify the right way to present your job search approach.

Thanks everyone for all the helpful information! I feel much more confident about filing for benefits now. Going to get my initial claim submitted this week and start documenting my job search activities properly.
