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!

good luck op! filing unemployment sucks but at least theres help available when you need it
Thanks everyone! Really appreciate all the advice and support.
Feel free to update the thread if you run into any issues. This community is pretty good about helping each other navigate the Washington ESD system, and there are tools like Claimyr if you need to actually reach someone at the agency.
Will definitely update! Starting my application now - wish me luck!

Just remember to keep detailed records of everything - when you filed, when you got responses, any communications with Washington ESD or your former employer. If things get complicated, having good records helps a lot.
Great advice. I'll start a folder with everything related to this claim.
Smart move. Organization makes everything easier if you need to appeal or have questions later.
Final thought - even if you think you might not qualify, apply anyway. I've seen people surprised by approvals when they thought they'd be denied. Washington ESD looks at each case individually.
That's what we're here for. Good luck with your claim!
And remember, if you need to actually talk to someone at Washington ESD about your claim, Claimyr can help you get connected without the endless phone tag.

Make sure you're answering the work search questions correctly on your weekly claims. If you accidentally mark that you refused work or weren't available, it can flag your whole claim for review.
I've been really careful with those questions but now I'm paranoid I made a mistake somewhere. Is there a way to see your previous answers?
You can see some of your previous weekly claim info in eServices, but not all the detailed answers. An agent could review it with you though.
Hang in there. I know it's stressful when you need the money now. The payments will come eventually with full backpay, you just have to get through this waiting period first.
Thanks for the encouragement. It's hard to stay patient when bills are due, but sounds like persistence is key.
Definitely. And don't hesitate to use any resources that can help you actually talk to someone at Washington ESD - that seems to be the fastest way to resolve delays.

Your situation sounds very similar to mine from a few months ago. Performance termination without misconduct usually results in approved claims. Just be prepared for the possibility of a phone interview if they need more details.
What kind of questions do they ask in phone interviews? I want to be prepared.
They'll ask about the circumstances of your termination, what efforts you made to improve performance, and whether you violated any company policies.
Good luck with your claim! The majority of people who are fired for performance issues do get approved for benefits. Just stay persistent and don't give up if there are initial complications.
Thank you! This thread has been really helpful. I feel much more confident about filing now.
That's what this community is for! Hope everything works out smoothly for you.

The whole phone system is a joke. I gave up and just used Claimyr after wasting two weeks trying to call. Got through immediately and the agent explained everything that was happening with my claim.

Have you tried the live chat feature on the Washington ESD website? Sometimes that's faster than calling.

•The live chat is mainly for technical issues with the website, not claim problems. But worth trying if you're having trouble accessing your account.
