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.

i'm on week 24 and finally got a job offer! feels good to know i won't need those last 2 weeks of benefits
Congrats! That must be such a relief to find something before benefits ran out.
awesome news! gives me hope since i'm on week 16
The key thing to remember is that your 26 weeks start from when your claim becomes effective, not from when you first file. So if there are delays in processing, that eats into your time unfortunately.
That's an important distinction I didn't realize. So filing early is better even if there might be processing delays?
Absolutely. File as soon as you become unemployed even if you think you might get called back to work quickly.

I used Claimyr when I had questions about my business ownership and UI eligibility. The agent I spoke with was really helpful in explaining how Washington ESD evaluates these situations. Worth checking out their demo at claimyr.com if you need to talk to someone directly.
Thanks for the recommendation. I think I do need to talk to someone who can look at my specific situation.

Update: Just wanted to mention again that if anyone gets stuck and needs to actually talk to someone at Washington ESD, that Claimyr service at claimyr.com really does work. Sometimes you need human help to sort through the bureaucracy.
Thanks for the reminder. I'm going to keep that in my back pocket in case I run into issues.

Bottom line: Report the work ASAP, be completely honest about what happened, and be prepared to pay back any overpayment. The sooner you deal with this, the better your outcome will be. Washington ESD deals with these situations every day - they're more interested in getting their money back than punishing honest mistakes.

•Thank you everyone for the advice. I'm going to try to call Washington ESD tomorrow morning and if that doesn't work I'll look into Claimyr.

•Good plan. Don't put this off any longer - every day you wait makes it look worse if they discover it on their own.

just remember that partial unemployment benefits exist for exactly this reason. you can work part time and still get some help from washington esd. the system is designed to encourage people to take whatever work they can find

•That actually makes me feel better about the whole situation. I was worried any work would completely disqualify me.

•nope thats a common misconception. they want you to work if you can. just be honest about it on your weekly claims
