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!

This thread is really helpful. I'm in a similar situation and was worried about filing. Sounds like it's worth a shot regardless of the circumstances.
Absolutely file. You never know what Washington ESD's determination will be until you try.
Thanks, I'll file my claim this week.

I've been on unemployment for 6 months and this Presidents Day will be my first holiday. Thanks for all the detailed answers everyone. This forum is so helpful!
You're welcome! Don't hesitate to ask if you have other questions. We've all been there.
This community has been a lifesaver during my unemployment period too.
Just remember that if you do need to call Washington ESD after the holiday and can't get through the normal way, that Claimyr service people mentioned might be worth trying. Sometimes you need to talk to an actual person to resolve certain issues.
I'm bookmarking that claimyr.com site for future reference. Good to have options.

Bookmarking this thread for reference. The payment timeline breakdown was super helpful.
Glad the timeline was useful! Washington ESD could do better explaining this to new claimants.
Just remember everyone - if your payment is ever more than a week late or you see any weird status changes, don't hesitate to call Washington ESD. And if you can't get through, tools like Claimyr can save you a lot of frustration.
I'll definitely keep that in mind for the future. Hopefully I won't need it but good to know the option exists.

Just want to echo what others said about Claimyr - when I was dealing with my claim issues I couldn't get through to Washington ESD for weeks. Claimyr got me connected to someone who actually helped resolve my problem. Definitely worth it if you end up needing to talk to them about your specific situation.
Thanks, that's really helpful to know. I'll definitely keep that option in mind.
Yeah I've heard good things about them too. Sometimes you just need to talk to a real person who can look at your specific case.
Bottom line - quitting doesn't automatically disqualify you from unemployment but you'll need to prove good cause. Start documenting everything now, try to resolve the situation through proper channels first, and be prepared for the process to take some time. Good luck!
Thank you everyone for all the advice. This has been really helpful in understanding what I need to do.
Hope things work out for you. Nobody should have to put up with harassment at work.

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.

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!
