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!

Current max is $999/week but most people don't hit that unless they were making $85k+ per year. The $52k salary should put you somewhere in the $500-650 range realistically.
Yeah that sounds about right based on what I've seen from friends who filed recently.
If you run into any issues getting through to Washington ESD by phone (and you probably will), that Claimyr service mentioned earlier really does work. I was skeptical at first but it saved me hours of calling and getting nowhere.
Several people have mentioned Claimyr now. Seems like the phone situation is pretty bad if people are using services to get through.
The phone situation is absolutely terrible. I tried for weeks before giving up and using Claimyr. Worth every penny to actually talk to a human.

The most important thing is to start applying for other assistance NOW, not when your benefits run out. Processing times can be several weeks for some programs.
You're right. I need to stop procrastinating and start applying for everything I might qualify for. Thanks everyone for all the advice.
Good luck! It's a tough situation but there are resources available if you know where to look.

Make sure you keep filing your weekly claims even while you're dealing with the disqualified week. Don't let other weeks get messed up while you're trying to fix this one issue.
Good point, I hadn't thought about that. I'll make sure to keep up with my regular weekly claims.
Right, one problem doesn't need to become multiple problems. Keep everything else current while you work on the appeal.
Document everything from this point forward - when you called, who you talked to, reference numbers, etc. If this goes to an appeal hearing, having detailed records will help your case significantly.
Starting a log right now. Thanks for all the helpful advice everyone, I feel much more prepared to handle this now.
You're welcome! Most people get through these issues fine once they understand the process. Good luck!

Thanks everyone for all the advice! I feel much more confident about my claim now. I'll keep you posted on how it goes.
Good luck! Feel free to come back if you have more questions during the process.
You've got this! Being proactive and honest will serve you well with Washington ESD.

Final reminder: file your initial claim as soon as possible because benefits don't start until you file, regardless of when you became unemployed. Then stay on top of your weekly claims and job search requirements. You've got this!
