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 SYSTEM IS BROKEN! I've been waiting 6 weeks for my determination and can't get anyone on the phone to help. How are people supposed to survive like this???
I feel your frustration. That's exactly the situation where Claimyr helped me - when the regular system just wasn't working. Sometimes you need an alternative way to get through.
Hang in there. The wait is awful but most people do eventually get their claims processed.

I've helped several friends through this process and most people who were fired for performance issues (rather than misconduct) end up getting approved. The adjudication process can be stressful but it's usually fair. Just be patient and honest.
Thank you! All these responses are giving me hope that I might actually qualify.
You're welcome! Sounds like you're in a similar situation to others I've seen get approved. Good luck with your application!
Quick tip - when you file your claim, there's a section where you can explain the circumstances of your job separation. Use that space to clearly explain the lack of training and unrealistic expectations. That information goes directly to the adjudicator who reviews your case.
Perfect! I'll make sure to be detailed in that section. This whole thread has been incredibly helpful.
Glad to help! Remember, the more context you provide about why the termination wasn't your fault, the better your chances.

Try clearing your browser cache and cookies completely, then restart your browser before attempting to file again. Sometimes old session data causes conflicts with the Washington ESD site.
I'll try that tonight and then attempt filing again tomorrow morning. Thanks for all the helpful suggestions everyone!
Good luck! Let us know how it goes - your experience might help other people having similar issues.

The weekly claim filing is really the most important part of maintaining your unemployment benefits. Miss too many weeks and you could lose eligibility entirely. Set a phone reminder if you need to!
That's a great idea. I'm going to set a Sunday morning reminder right now.
One last thing - keep copies or screenshots of your filed weekly claims. If there's ever a dispute about what you reported, having your own records can really help resolve things quickly.
Thank you everyone! This has been incredibly helpful. I feel much more confident about filing my first weekly claim now.
You've got this! It gets easier each week. Don't hesitate to ask if you have more questions.

The whole process seems overwhelming at first but it's really not that bad once you get started. Just take it step by step and don't stress too much about making it perfect.

One last thing - keep records of everything! Save copies of your application, print out confirmation pages, and keep track of all your job search activities. You never know when you might need to reference something.
