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 bottom line is that Washington state generally sides with workers unless there's clear evidence of misconduct. Your situation sounds like you have a good chance of getting approved.
That's reassuring. I was really worried I wouldn't qualify since I was technically fired.
Being fired doesn't automatically disqualify you. It's all about the circumstances and whether it rises to the level of misconduct.
btw if you do need to call washington esd and cant get through, that claimyr thing people mentioned actually worked for me too. i was skeptical at first but desperate times call for desperate measures lol
Seems like a lot of people have had success with it. Good to know it's not just one person's experience.
Same here, used Claimyr when I was having issues with my weekly claim. They got me through to someone who could actually help.

Final tip about getting help - if you get stuck or confused at any point, that Claimyr service I mentioned earlier really does work. I've recommended it to several friends and they've all had good experiences reaching Washington ESD agents through it.
I'll definitely keep that in mind if I run into issues. Thanks for all the helpful advice everyone!

Hope this helps! The main thing is don't assume you don't qualify - let Washington ESD make that determination. You might be surprised and actually meet the requirements.
Definitely going to apply if I need to. Thanks everyone for taking the time to explain everything!
Good thread! This info will probably help other people in similar situations too. The work requirements are one of those things everyone wonders about but nobody really explains clearly.
Agreed! I learned way more here than from trying to read the official Washington ESD website.
The Washington ESD website has all this information but it's scattered across different pages. Having it all in one discussion like this is really helpful.

For anyone else reading this thread, I had success using Claimyr when I needed to speak with Washington ESD about my fired-for-cause claim. Sometimes you really need to talk to a human to explain your situation properly, and their phone system is impossible otherwise.
How quickly were you able to get connected through them?
Same day I submitted my request. Way better than spending days trying to call on my own and never getting through.
This has been really helpful to read. I'm in a similar situation where I was fired but I think wrongfully. Going to file my claim tomorrow and see what happens. Wish me luck!
Good luck! Sounds like we're both in similar boats. Hope it works out for both of us.
Thanks! I'll try to remember to update this thread once I know how my claim goes.

If you're still having trouble getting through to Washington ESD to verify your eligibility, that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier really does work. I was skeptical at first but it got me connected to an agent in under 10 minutes.

•Did you have to pay for that service?

•There's a fee but it was worth it to avoid spending days trying to get through on my own. The agent was able to look up my wage history and confirm my eligibility right away.

Bottom line: if you've been working steadily for more than 6 months and earning at least minimum wage, you'll probably qualify. The exact calculations are confusing but most people who work regularly meet the requirements.
