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!

This thread was really helpful! I had the same question and was worried about my job situation too. Good to know Washington ESD looks at total work history.
Glad it helped someone else too! This community is great for getting real answers.

I had so many questions like this when I started my claim. Couldn't get through to Washington ESD for weeks to get answers. Finally tried that Claimyr service someone mentioned here and actually got to talk to a real person who walked me through everything.
Was it worth it? I'm getting desperate trying to reach someone at Washington ESD.
Absolutely. Saved me so much stress and got my questions answered quickly. Way better than playing phone tag for weeks.
Bottom line: unemployment compensation = the money Washington ESD pays you each week when you're unemployed and eligible. All the other terms (UI, unemployment benefits, etc.) mean basically the same thing. Don't overthink it!
Thank you! This whole thread has been super helpful. I feel much less confused now.
Glad we could help! The terminology really is unnecessarily confusing for new claimants.

Good luck with everything! Remember that getting laid off isn't a reflection on you personally, especially in manufacturing where it's often just economic factors.
I appreciate that. It's been pretty stressful but all this information helps a lot.
We've all been there in some form. You'll get through this!
Just wanted to add that if you run into any issues with your claim getting stuck in adjudication or anything like that, there are resources to help. That Claimyr service has been mentioned a few times and seems legit for getting through to ESD when you really need to talk to someone.
I'll keep that in mind if I run into problems. Hopefully the process goes smoothly since it was a clear layoff.

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.

Update: I tried that Claimyr service someone mentioned and actually got through to ESD in 15 minutes. The rep told me my appeal decision was mailed yesterday! Thanks for the tip.

•Second-guessing yourself won't change anything now. You presented your case and that's what matters.
