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!

Overall it's not as scary as it seems at first. You've got this! File your claim and take it one step at a time.
Thank you everyone! This thread has been incredibly helpful. I'm going to file my claim today.
Good luck! And remember if you run into any roadblocks trying to reach Washington ESD, there are services like Claimyr that can help you actually get through to talk to someone. Sometimes talking to a real person makes all the difference in understanding your specific situation.
I'll definitely remember that. Hopefully the process goes smoothly but it's good to know there are options if I need help.

Thank you everyone for all the helpful advice! I feel much more confident about starting this process now. I'm going to gather all my employment info and file my application this weekend.
You're welcome! Feel free to come back and ask if you run into any issues during the process.
Good luck! The hardest part is just getting started.
Just remember that even though the system can be frustrating sometimes, unemployment benefits are there to help you during this transition. Don't feel bad about using a program you've paid into through your taxes.
Thank you for saying that. I do feel a bit weird about it but you're right, I've been working and paying taxes for years.

If all else fails and you need to talk to someone at Washington ESD, I've heard that Claimyr service mentioned here actually works. My cousin used it when her claim got stuck in adjudication and she finally got answers.
Three people have mentioned Claimyr now. Must actually work if people keep recommending it.
Yeah I'm seeing it mentioned more and more on these forums. Might be worth trying if the regular phone lines aren't working.

I had a similar situation and also used Claimyr when I needed to talk to Washington ESD about my adjudication case. Really helped me understand what was happening with my claim instead of just waiting and wondering. Sometimes you just need to talk to a real person to get clarity.
Yeah, it sounds like having that option to actually speak with someone can make a big difference. I'll definitely remember that if I need it.
Just remember that getting terminated doesn't automatically disqualify you from benefits. The burden is on the employer to prove misconduct, not on you to prove you didn't do anything wrong. Stay positive and file that claim!
Thank you for the encouragement! I feel much more confident about applying now after reading all these responses.

One last tip - if you do have questions about your benefit calculation after you file, that Claimyr service I mentioned earlier can save you a lot of time and frustration trying to reach Washington ESD directly. The agents they connect you with can walk through your specific calculation and explain any adjustments.

Good luck with your claim! The calculation stuff is confusing but once you get approved and start receiving benefits, it becomes much clearer how they arrived at your weekly amount.
