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!

Update us when you hear something! Always good to know current processing times. Fingers crossed it comes through soon.
Will do! Thanks everyone for the advice and support. Makes me feel less alone in this process.
We've all been there. Hang in there, it will work out!
If you do need to talk to someone at Washington ESD, I had success with Claimyr recently. Took about 20 minutes to get connected versus the hours I was spending calling directly. Worth checking out their demo video to see if it might help your situation.
Several people have mentioned Claimyr now. I might give it a try if I don't hear anything by next week.
Same, the calling situation is just impossible otherwise. At least there's an option now.

Good luck with your claim! Being fired doesn't automatically disqualify you from unemployment benefits. Washington ESD looks at the specific circumstances of each case.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful information. I feel much better about my chances now.

4.7% sounds right for when Obama left office. But forget about historical unemployment rates - focus on your current claim. Two weeks in adjudication isn't fun but it's not unusual. The key is staying on top of it and being ready to provide additional info if needed.
This is good advice. I waited 5 weeks last year and it eventually got resolved without me having to do anything extra.
That's somewhat reassuring. I just hate not knowing what's happening with my claim.
The unemployment rate was 4.7% when Obama left office in January 2017, but honestly that trivia doesn't help your Washington ESD situation at all. What you should focus on is that adjudication delays are standard when you report any work activity, even short-term contracts. The system has to verify everything matches up.
Makes sense. I guess I'm just anxious because I've never had to deal with unemployment benefits before.
First time dealing with Washington ESD can definitely be stressful. The waiting is the worst part but most claims do get resolved eventually.

Final advice - if you do decide to quit, file your unemployment claim immediately. Don't wait. The sooner you file, the sooner the adjudication process can begin, and you might be eligible for retroactive payments if approved.
