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!

The whole unemployment system in this state is such a mess. Half the time the website doesn't work and when you finally get through on the phone they put you on hold for hours just to hang up on you.
I know it's frustrating but try to stay persistent. Most people do eventually get their claims processed, it just takes way longer than it should.
That's why services like Claimyr exist - because the regular system is so broken that people are willing to pay just to get through to talk to someone.
Good luck with your claim! Being fired doesn't automatically disqualify you from unemployment. Just be honest, file quickly, and keep all your documentation organized in case you need it later.
Thank you everyone for all the helpful advice! I feel much more confident about filing my claim now.
You're welcome! Hope everything works out for you. The unemployment process is stressful but most people who were legitimately fired for non-misconduct reasons do get approved eventually.

Just want to echo what others have said - the workers comp settlement itself shouldn't disqualify you, but proper reporting and documentation will be key to avoiding any issues down the road.
Got it. I'm going to make sure I have all my paperwork organized before I file.
That's smart. Having everything documented upfront makes the whole process smoother.

The ATM-to-cash-to-prepaid-card method mentioned earlier seems like the most reliable workaround. It's extra steps but at least it works.
That's probably what I'll end up doing. Thanks everyone for all the suggestions, this has been really helpful!
Don't forget about the money order option too - that's usually the cheapest way if you don't need the money to be available instantly.

One more thing - if your claim does get approved, make sure you understand the payment schedule. Washington ESD usually pays on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and it can take a few days to show up in your account depending on your bank.
Thanks for that info. I had no idea about the payment schedule.
Yeah it's good to know so you're not wondering where your payment is. They should send you a debit card too if you haven't received one yet.

Glad to see you're filing right away. That's the smartest move. Even if there are complications later, at least your claim is in the system and the clock is running.

•Exactly my thinking. Better to get the process started than sit around worrying about it.

Hope everything works out for you! Getting fired sucks but at least Washington's unemployment system is pretty reasonable compared to some other states.
