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!

I used Claimyr a few weeks ago when I had questions about my claim and it was super helpful. The agent was able to pull up my account and explain everything clearly. Much better than trying to figure it out from the confusing letters they send.
That sounds really helpful. I think I'm going to try it because I need to understand exactly what went wrong with my claim.
Thanks everyone for all the advice! I'm going to check my wage history online first, then try to call Washington ESD to get more details. If I can't get through I'll try that Claimyr service. At least now I understand why I got denied instead of just being confused.
Good plan! Understanding the wage requirements is key. Don't get discouraged - you'll likely qualify once you have more work history.
Yeah definitely check those wages first. And don't hesitate to use Claimyr if you need to talk to someone - it really does work for getting through to Washington ESD.

Just want to follow up on the Claimyr thing - it really did help me get answers faster when I was in your situation. Sometimes Washington ESD has programs or options that aren't obvious on their website, so talking to an actual person can uncover things you might have missed.
Thanks everyone for all the advice and support. This thread has given me a lot of leads to follow up on. Going to start with calling 211 and checking out WorkSource training programs, then look into county assistance programs. Really appreciate you all taking the time to help!
Good luck! Keep us posted on how things work out.
You got this! The period right after benefits end is the hardest but you'll get through it.

One more tip - if your employer went out of business, you can sometimes find the EAN on old business correspondence or even on their old website if it's still cached. Had to do this when my company folded last year.
That's creative problem-solving! Fortunately my old employer is still around so I can contact them directly.

UPDATE: Filed my claim this morning and it went through without any issues. Selected 'lack of work' as my separation reason and uploaded that company email about the restructuring. Now just waiting for the adjudication process. Thanks again everyone for the encouragement!
Sounds like you did everything right. With clear documentation like that company email, your claim should go smoothly.
Awesome! Remember to file your weekly claims on time even while you're waiting for the initial decision. Don't want to miss any weeks.
This is exactly the kind of straightforward involuntary termination case that Washington ESD handles all the time. Company restructuring, position elimination, clear documentation - you should be good to go. Hope it helps others in similar situations too.
Definitely! Hope this thread helps other people who are unsure about whether their situation qualifies. It's nice to know the system actually works for legitimate cases.

Document everything about your job search efforts. If any federal programs do get passed, having detailed records can help with retroactive claims.

•Good advice. I've been keeping records for WorkSource anyway so I'll make sure they're comprehensive.

Final thought - make sure you understand exactly when your benefits end. Sometimes there's confusion about the last payable week vs when you need to file your final claim. You don't want to miss out on any benefits you're entitled to.
