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 benefit amount calculation can be confusing but remember it's based on your past earnings, so if you were making decent money at the warehouse you should get a reasonable amount. Just file and see what they determine.
Thanks everyone for all the help. I'm going to file today and see what happens.
Good luck! The process seems overwhelming at first but once you get started it's not too bad.
If your claim gets stuck in adjudication or you have trouble reaching Washington ESD about your benefit amount, definitely consider using Claimyr. I was skeptical at first but it really works for getting through to an actual person who can help.
I'll keep that in mind if I run into problems. Hopefully the filing process goes smoothly.
It usually does for straightforward cases like yours. Good luck with the job search too!

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.

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.

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.

The main thing is don't panic if you do get laid off. File your claim right away, start your job search, and use all the resources available. The unemployment system isn't perfect but it's there to help.

One more tip: if you do end up calling Washington ESD for any reason and can't get through, definitely try that Claimyr service people mentioned. I was skeptical at first but it really works and saved me hours of calling.
