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!

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.
Thank you everyone for all the advice. This has been really helpful in understanding my options.
Good luck with whatever you decide. No one should have to put up with a toxic work environment.

Bottom line: if you worked regularly in the past 15 months and made at least minimum wage for decent hours, you probably qualify. The system is designed to help people who lost work through no fault of their own.

This whole thread has been super informative. Bookmarking in case I ever need this info. Hope everything works out for everyone dealing with tax issues!
Thanks! Definitely learned a lot myself through this whole ordeal.
One last tip for anyone reading this later - keep detailed records of all your communications with the IRS. Date, time, who you spoke with, what was discussed. If there are any disputes later you'll need that documentation.
Great advice! I started doing this after the first call and it's already helped clarify some confusion.
Yes! And get confirmation numbers for everything you submit online or by mail. The IRS loses paperwork more often than you'd think.

I was in a similar situation and ended up getting benefits after I quit. The key was keeping detailed records of everything my supervisor did wrong. Dates, times, what was said, who was there.
How detailed did you get with the records? I'm not sure what level of detail they want.
Very detailed. Like 'On March 15, 2024, at 2:30 PM, supervisor John Smith yelled at me in front of customers and called me incompetent.' That level of detail.
Bottom line - you can get unemployment if you quit for good cause, but it's harder than if you're laid off. Start documenting everything now and be prepared for a longer process.
Thanks everyone for all the advice. I'm going to start keeping detailed records and see if I can resolve things first.
Good plan. And remember, if you do end up quitting and filing for benefits, don't let the process intimidate you if you have legitimate good cause.

Also worth noting that seasonal workers and contractors have different rules. If you're a regular W-2 employee like it sounds, the standard rules apply.

UPDATE: I actually just checked my SecureAccess Washington account and I can see my wage history there. Looks like I should qualify if I do get laid off. Thanks everyone for the help!
