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 vacation payout is treated the same as severance usually. If you got both, report both but don't stress about it. Washington ESD handles this stuff all the time.
I did get vacation payout too, about $1,500. Good to know I should report that as well.
Yep, report everything. They'd rather have complete information upfront than discover it later during an audit or something.
Last thought - if you end up needing to talk to Washington ESD about your severance and can't get through on the phone, that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier actually works. I was skeptical at first but they got me through to an agent when I'd been trying for days on my own.
Good to have that as a backup option. Hopefully I won't need it but it's reassuring to know it exists.
Exactly. Sometimes you just need to talk to a human to get clarity on these things, and Claimyr makes that possible when the regular phone system fails you.

Final update: I successfully submitted my application! It took about 40 minutes total. The website was pretty straightforward once I had all my documents ready. Thanks everyone for the help and guidance!
awesome! you should get your determination letter soon. fingers crossed for a smooth process
Great job! Keep all your documentation organized and don't hesitate to ask questions if you run into any issues during the process.
One last tip - keep copies of everything you submit and save confirmation numbers. If there are ever any issues with your claim, having documentation helps resolve things faster.
Great advice! I'll make sure to screenshot everything.
Also keep track of any correspondence from Washington ESD in your online account. They send important notices there that you need to respond to within specific timeframes.

Friend of mine tried that claimyr thing and it actually worked. she was stuck in adjudication hell for 2 months and they got her through to someone who could actually look at her case. worth checking out if you get stuck
Several people have mentioned them now. I'll definitely keep that in mind if I run into issues getting through to Washington ESD.
yeah seems like more people are finding out about it. beats sitting on hold for hours
Bottom line: file your claim, be honest about what happened, keep records of everything, and don't give up if they initially deny you. The appeals process exists for a reason and many people win on appeal even after being denied initially.
Thanks everyone for all the advice! I'm going to file my claim today and see what happens. Feeling much more confident about the process now.
Good luck! Remember that getting fired doesn't automatically disqualify you, especially if it was for performance reasons rather than misconduct.

Hope everything works out for you! Most people get through the process fine, it's just the ones with problems that you hear about more often.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice. I feel much more prepared now for what to expect.

Good luck with your claim! The restaurant industry has been hit hard so you should definitely qualify. Just stay on top of your weekly claims and job search requirements.
