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!

The 8 months you mentioned should be plenty if you've been consistently earning decent wages. I've seen people qualify with less time if they had good earnings.
That's reassuring! I think I'm probably okay then, but I'll definitely verify my wage history before filing.
Smart approach. Better to be sure than to file prematurely and create complications.

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.

Last thing - take screenshots or photos of all your documents before you start the application. If something goes wrong with the upload process, you'll have backups ready to go.
Smart thinking! Nothing worse than having to hunt down documents again if there's a technical issue.
Honestly the document gathering is the easy part. The real challenge is navigating Washington ESD's phone system when you need help. Save yourself the headache and use something like Claimyr if you run into issues. I wasted way too many hours trying to get through on my own.
I'm seeing Claimyr mentioned a few times in this thread. Seems like it's really helped people get through to Washington ESD when needed.
Yeah, it's basically a way to skip the busy signals and hold times. Saves a ton of frustration when you actually need to talk to someone at Washington ESD.

If you run into any roadblocks with Washington ESD during your claim period, there are resources to help. That Claimyr service people mentioned is one option, but there are also legal aid societies and workforce development programs that can assist.
Good to know there are options if I need help navigating the system.
Definitely. Don't suffer in silence if you run into problems - there are people and services available to help unemployed workers.
This thread has been super informative! I'm bookmarking it for reference. The 26-week maximum is clear now, plus all the factors that could affect it.
Same here! Really appreciate everyone taking the time to explain everything.
Happy to help. That's what these forums are for - supporting each other through the unemployment process.

Thanks everyone for explaining the unemployment spell concept. This thread has been more helpful than anything I could find on the Washington ESD website!

One last tip - if anyone needs to speak with Washington ESD about their unemployment spell or any other claim issues, that Claimyr service really does work. Saved me from spending entire days trying to get through on the phone.
