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!

One more tip - if your employer went out of business, you can sometimes find the EAN on old business correspondence or even on their old website if it's still cached. Had to do this when my company folded last year.
That's creative problem-solving! Fortunately my old employer is still around so I can contact them directly.

Just wanted to add that if you worked in multiple states, you might need to file an interstate claim. Makes the calculation more complicated but Washington ESD can handle it.
Fortunately I've only worked in Washington so that won't be an issue for me.
I had to do an interstate claim - it took longer to process but the benefit calculation was still pretty straightforward once they got all the wage information.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful info! This thread has been way more useful than the Washington ESD website for understanding how benefit amounts work.
Agreed! I feel much more prepared now if I do end up needing to file for unemployment.
Glad we could help! The unemployment system can be confusing but having the right information makes it much more manageable.

I found another service that helped me when I couldn't reach Washington ESD - it's called Claimyr and they actually got me through to someone who could help with my adjudication issue. Their website is claimyr.com if you need to reach an actual person.
Thanks for the tip! I'll bookmark that in case I run into problems.
I used them too when I had an overpayment issue. Much easier than trying to get through on your own.
Good luck with your claim! It's stressful at first but once you get into the routine of filing weekly claims and doing your job searches, it becomes pretty automatic.
Thank you everyone for all the helpful advice! I feel much more confident about applying now.
You're welcome! Don't hesitate to come back if you have more questions during the process.

Just want to follow up on the Claimyr thing - it really did help me get answers faster when I was in your situation. Sometimes Washington ESD has programs or options that aren't obvious on their website, so talking to an actual person can uncover things you might have missed.
Thanks everyone for all the advice and support. This thread has given me a lot of leads to follow up on. Going to start with calling 211 and checking out WorkSource training programs, then look into county assistance programs. Really appreciate you all taking the time to help!
Good luck! Keep us posted on how things work out.
You got this! The period right after benefits end is the hardest but you'll get through it.

I wish they would just send you a letter telling you exactly how much you earned in each quarter instead of making you guess

•How do you request it? Online or do you have to call?

•There should be an option in your eServices account, or you can request it by phone if you can get through.
