Need Governor's office phone number to escalate stuck ESD claim - best time to call?

The Governor's Office constituent services line is 360-902-4111. They're open weekdays 8am-5pm, but I've found calling right when they open at 8am gives you the best chance of getting through without a long wait. Be prepared with your claim ID number and a clear timeline of your ESD communication attempts. They can't directly fix your claim, but they can submit an official inquiry to ESD on your behalf which often gets things moving.

I had to do this last year when my claim was stuck in adjudication for 2 months! The number is 360-902-4111. I found that calling between 8:30-9:30am was best because the first half hour they're usually setting up for the day. When you call, make sure you explain EXACTLY how long you've been waiting and all the ways you've already tried to contact ESD. Be super polite but firm that you need help. They took my info and within 3 business days, ESD suddenly called me to resolve my issue.

the govs office wont do nothing!! i called them 5 times and they just take ur info and say theyll "pass it along" but NOTHING happens. complete waste of time better off just keeping calling ESD directly

Have you tried using Claimyr? Before I resorted to contacting the Governor's office, I used their service to actually get through to an ESD agent on the phone. It saved me weeks of waiting. Their website is claimyr.com and they have a video showing how it works at https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3. Basically they hold your place in line and call you when they have an agent, so you don't waste hours on hold. I was able to get my adjudication issue resolved in one call after trying for almost a month on my own.

my cousin works for state govt (not esd) and she says ALWAYS call govt offices tuesday-thursday. mondays they're swamped with weekend backlog and fridays everyone's checked out already lol. also avoid calling right after lunch break when everyones still getting back to their desks

When I called the Governor's office about my ESD issue last year, I made sure to have a complete "paper trail" ready - dates of all attempted contacts with ESD, claim ID, confirmation numbers from messages I'd sent, screenshots of my eServices account showing the status, etc. The more organized and specific you are, the more likely they'll take your case seriously. The number is 360-902-4111 and I found mid-morning (around 10am) on Wednesdays to be the sweet spot for shorter wait times. Also, did you try contacting your state representative? They often have staff dedicated to helping constituents with ESD issues, and sometimes they can get results even faster than the Governor's office.

I waited 9 WEEKS for my claim to move!!! Governor's office was no help at all for me. What finally worked was I sent a message through eServices every single day for a week straight, each time adding "Day X of message attempts" in the subject line. On day 7 someone finally called me. The squeaky wheel gets the grease sometimes!

One more thing - when you call the Governor's office, ask them to create a "constituent services case number" for your inquiry. That way you can reference this case number in follow-up calls, which shows you're serious and keeping track. Follow up after 3-5 business days if you don't hear anything from ESD. The system works, but sometimes you need to be persistent and methodical.
