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!

Just want to echo what everyone else said - there's zero shame in this and it won't hurt your career prospects at all. Take care of yourself first.
Thank you. This thread has been so helpful and reassuring. I really appreciate everyone taking the time to respond.
That's what these forums are for! Good luck with everything.

Glad this thread helped clear things up for you. The Washington ESD system has a lot of moving parts but the benefit calculation is actually pretty straightforward once you understand it's based on your historical wages, not economic conditions at the time of filing.
Absolutely. I was making it way more complicated than it needed to be. Really appreciate everyone's help explaining this.

One more thing - if you have any questions during the process, that Claimyr service really does work. I was skeptical at first but it saved me so much time trying to reach Washington ESD.
I might try that if I run into issues. Better than spending all day redialing.
Good luck with your claim! Sounds like you definitely qualify based on what you've described. The hardest part is usually just navigating the website and requirements, but you've got good info here to work with.
Thank you everyone! This thread has been incredibly helpful. I feel much more confident about filing now.

Don't forget to register with WorkSourceWA too, it's required for most people to keep getting benefits.
Yeah it's a separate registration but Washington ESD will tell you when you need to do it.
Usually within your first few weeks of claiming benefits, they'll send you instructions.
Just remember that every situation is different and the calculation can vary based on when you worked and how much you earned in each quarter.
Good luck with your claim! Hope it goes smoothly for you.
You're welcome! The uncertainty is the worst part, but once you get your first payment it gets easier.

This thread has been super helpful! I'm in a similar boat with a potential layoff coming. Going to bookmark this for reference when the time comes.

One last tip - keep detailed records of everything. Dates, amounts, who you talked to at Washington ESD, etc. Makes everything easier if there are any issues down the road.

•Already started a spreadsheet with all the details. Documentation is definitely key with government agencies.
