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!

Document everything about your job search efforts. If any federal programs do get passed, having detailed records can help with retroactive claims.
Good advice. I've been keeping records for WorkSource anyway so I'll make sure they're comprehensive.
Final thought - make sure you understand exactly when your benefits end. Sometimes there's confusion about the last payable week vs when you need to file your final claim. You don't want to miss out on any benefits you're entitled to.
I'll double-check that. Thanks everyone for all the advice and reality checks. This is tough but at least I know what I'm dealing with now.
Good luck with everything. Keep us posted on how the job search goes.

UPDATE: Filed my claim this morning and it went through without any issues. Selected 'lack of work' as my separation reason and uploaded that company email about the restructuring. Now just waiting for the adjudication process. Thanks again everyone for the encouragement!
Sounds like you did everything right. With clear documentation like that company email, your claim should go smoothly.
Awesome! Remember to file your weekly claims on time even while you're waiting for the initial decision. Don't want to miss any weeks.
This is exactly the kind of straightforward involuntary termination case that Washington ESD handles all the time. Company restructuring, position elimination, clear documentation - you should be good to go. Hope it helps others in similar situations too.
Definitely! Hope this thread helps other people who are unsure about whether their situation qualifies. It's nice to know the system actually works for legitimate cases.

Just remember to keep filing your weekly claims continuously and maintain your job search activities. The transition between benefit years should be seamless if you do everything right.
Will definitely keep that in mind. Thanks for all the detailed explanations!
yeah continuity is key. don't let there be any gaps in your filing

The fact that you have photos and texts to your supervisor puts you ahead of a lot of people who try to appeal with no documentation at all. You've got a real shot at overturning this.
Thanks, that gives me some hope. I'm going to gather everything I can find and put together the strongest case possible.
Final update from me - I submitted my appeal this morning with all my documentation organized chronologically like someone suggested. Photos, text messages, incident dates, everything. Now the waiting game begins. Thanks everyone for the advice and support!
Fingers crossed for you! Sounds like you put together a solid case.
Hope it works out! If you need to follow up on the status of your appeal, that Claimyr service can help you get through to someone at Washington ESD who can actually check on it.

The whole system is so confusing. I wish there was a simple chart or something that showed exactly how long you can collect based on your earnings. Everything is so vague online.

•I agree. The Washington ESD website has all the information but it's scattered across different pages and hard to understand. A simple calculator would be really helpful.

•Actually your monetary determination letter is basically that chart - it shows your exact benefit amount and duration. The problem is people don't always understand how to read it.

One more thing to consider - if you're nearing the end of your benefits and still haven't found work, you might want to look into whether you qualify for any disability benefits or other assistance programs. There are sometimes options people don't think about.

•That's a good point. I know someone who transitioned from unemployment to disability benefits when they realized they had a medical condition that was affecting their ability to work.

•The key is not to wait until your benefits run out to explore all your options. Start looking into everything available at least a month before you hit that 26 week mark.
