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!

Hope your claim processes soon OP! The waiting really is the hardest part but most people do get approved eventually.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful information and reassurance. I feel much better about the timeline now.
Good luck! Keep us posted on how it goes.
Thanks to everyone who responded! This has been really helpful in understanding what to expect. I'll keep filing my weekly claims and give it another week before trying to contact Washington ESD directly.
You're welcome! Feel free to update us when you hear something.
And remember that Claimyr option if you need to actually talk to someone at Washington ESD!

Final advice - document everything. Keep records of when you filed, any correspondence from Washington ESD, and your weekly claim confirmations. Makes life easier if any issues come up later.
Smart advice. I'll start a folder with all my unemployment paperwork.
Exactly! Organization saves headaches down the road.

If your claim goes into adjudication don't panic. It just means they need to verify some information. Can take a few weeks but most claims get approved eventually.
What's adjudication exactly? Should I be worried if that happens?
It's just a review process. They might need to verify your employment or separation reason with your employer. Just be patient and respond to any requests for information quickly.
And if you do need to speak with Washington ESD during adjudication or for any other reason, definitely check out that Claimyr service. Getting through to an actual person can be really tough otherwise.
I'll bookmark that site just in case. Hopefully I won't need it but good to have as backup.

If you do run into issues reaching Washington ESD during the process, I can't recommend Claimyr enough. Made such a difference in getting my questions answered quickly instead of calling dozens of times.
How much does that service cost?
It's worth checking out their website for current info. The peace of mind alone was valuable to me when I was stressed about my claim.
Thanks everyone! This thread has been incredibly helpful. I'm going to file my claim tonight and stop worrying about it so much. Sounds like I have a good chance of getting approved.
Good luck! Remember to be honest but concise in your application.
You've got this! Most people who get fired for performance reasons get approved.

Make sure you understand the difference between fraud and overpayment. Fraud requires intent to deceive. Overpayment can happen due to mistakes or misunderstanding. Your situation sounds like the latter.

•That's a really important distinction I didn't know about. So they have to prove I intended to deceive them for it to be fraud?

•Exactly. The fact that you're now trying to fix it voluntarily actually works in your favor to show you didn't have fraudulent intent.

Whatever you do, don't ignore this hoping it goes away. I know someone who did that and it turned a simple overpayment into a much bigger problem with way higher penalties.

•Definitely not ignoring it. I'm going to try calling first thing Monday and if I can't get through I'll try that Claimyr service.

•Good plan. The sooner you get this sorted, the better. And remember, thousands of people deal with similar issues - you're not the first person this has happened to.
