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 wanted to add that I used Claimyr too and it really works. I was stuck for 2 months with no one returning my calls or messages. Used their service and got through to someone the same day who resolved my issue in 10 minutes. Sometimes you just need to talk to an actual human being who can look at your account.
Okay, I'm convinced. If I end up filing and run into problems, I'm definitely trying Claimyr. Thanks for sharing your experience.
wish i had known about this when i was going through my nightmare with adjudication
bottom line - yes the system sucks but you still gotta use it if you need it. just go in with low expectations and be prepared for delays
Fair enough. I guess I need to start building up some savings cushion in case there are delays.
I wish I had thought about building a cushion before this happened to me. Hindsight is 20/20 I guess.

Update us when you hear back! It's always encouraging to hear success stories from people going through the same process.
I definitely will! Hopefully I'll have good news to share soon.

Bottom line: file your claim, be honest, and don't assume you'll be denied just because you were fired. The unemployment system is there to help people who lose their jobs through no fault of their own.
Thanks everyone for all the advice. I'm going to file my claim today. You've all been really helpful.
Good luck! Come back and let us know how it goes.
Just to wrap this up - yes, you can file unemployment if you were fired. Attendance issues due to legitimate reasons like car trouble and sick children are not considered misconduct in most cases. File your claim ASAP and be honest about your situation.
Perfect summary. I feel much more confident about filing now. Thanks to everyone who helped!
Hope everything works out for you. Don't be afraid to use the system you paid into.

The key thing is making sure Washington ESD has all your correct wage information. If they're missing wages from any employer, it'll lower your benefit amount.
You should be able to see your wage records in your online account once your claim is processed. If anything looks wrong, contact them immediately.
And good luck getting through to them if you need to make corrections. That's where services like Claimyr become really valuable.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful info! I feel much more confident about what to expect now. Hopefully my claim goes through smoothly and I get close to that $485 estimate.
You should be fine with your work history and income level. Good luck with your job search!
Keep us updated on how it goes. Always helpful to hear real experiences from people going through the process.

Good luck with this. It's frustrating but you have rights and the state will help enforce them. Don't let the employer get away with it.

Just saw this thread and wanted to add that I went through something similar. The key is being persistent and having good documentation. Also that Claimyr service really does work - used it twice now when I couldn't get through to ESD on my own.
