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!

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.

Good luck with your job search! Remember that unemployment is temporary assistance while you find your next opportunity. Use the time wisely to network and apply for positions that are a good fit.
Absolutely. I'm actually excited to find something new. This might be a blessing in disguise.

The most important thing is to file your initial claim as soon as possible after your last day of work. Benefits are not retroactive, so every week you wait is money you're losing. Even if you're not sure about some of the information, file the claim and correct it later if needed.
Thank you everyone! This has been incredibly helpful. I'm going to file my claim this weekend.
Good luck! And don't hesitate to ask if you run into any issues. This community is pretty good about helping each other navigate the Washington ESD system.
One last thing - if you do end up needing to call Washington ESD for any reason, try calling right when they open at 8 AM or during lunch hours. Those are usually the best times to get through, though it's still pretty hit or miss.
I'll keep that in mind if I run into problems. Hopefully the initial filing goes smoothly and I won't need to call at all.
That's the best case scenario! But it's good to know your options if you do need help.

Good to hear another positive review. I'll definitely keep that in mind if I need to call them.
yeah the washington unemployment phone system is basically impossible to get through otherwise. anything that helps is worth it
Bottom line - quitting for good cause is possible but you need to build a strong case. Document everything, try to resolve issues through proper channels first, and be prepared for the investigation process. Don't quit impulsively without a plan.
Thank you everyone for all the advice! I feel much more prepared to handle this situation properly now. Going to start documenting everything and talk to HR first.

I'm in the same boat - benefits running out next month and no job yet. Reading all these comments is pretty depressing but at least I know what to expect now.

One thing to keep in mind is that if you do find work, even part-time, you might be able to do a partial claim depending on your earnings. That could help bridge the gap while you look for full-time work.

•I didn't know about partial claims. How does that work exactly?

•If you work part-time and earn less than your weekly benefit amount plus $5, you can still get partial unemployment benefits. It's worth looking into.
