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!

One more thing to consider - make sure you understand when your severance payments will actually be made. Sometimes there are delays in processing, and that can affect when Washington ESD considers you to have received the payments.
Good point. I'll make sure to get the exact payment schedule in writing so I can report it accurately to Washington ESD.
Exactly. The more documentation you have, the smoother the process will go with Washington ESD.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful information in this thread. I feel much more prepared to make a decision about my severance package now. I'm going to talk to my employer about restructuring it and also get in touch with Washington ESD to understand exactly how it will affect my claim.
Good luck with everything! Make sure to document all your communications with both your employer and Washington ESD.
And remember, if you have trouble reaching Washington ESD, Claimyr is there to help. It really makes the whole process much easier.

Congrats on the job! Just remember that even though it's part-time now, having that work history and reference will help when you're looking for full-time positions. And the partial unemployment helps bridge the gap financially.
True! I'm looking at it as a stepping stone while I keep searching for something full-time.
Exactly the right attitude. Plus you're still actively in the job market which looks good to potential employers.
The weekly claim questions about work are pretty straightforward - they ask if you worked, how many hours, and your gross earnings. Don't stress too much about the exact format, just answer honestly and completely.
Ok that doesn't sound too complicated. I was imagining some complex form or something.
Nope, it's just a few additional questions added to your regular weekly claim. Pretty user-friendly actually.

Good luck with your claim! Sounds like you have a solid work history so you should be fine. The process can be frustrating but it's worth it if you qualify.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful info! Feeling much more confident about filing now.

thanks for all this info everyone, this thread has been really helpful for understanding the rules
Agreed! I have a much better idea of what I need to do now.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do! The unemployment system is complicated but there are options if you qualify. Don't give up if you think you have a legitimate claim.
Thank you! I'm going to gather my employment records and probably speak with Washington ESD directly about my situation.
Definitely use Claimyr to get through to them - it really does work!
