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!

Update us when you hear back OP! I'm dealing with Washington ESD adjudication issues too and want to see how yours turns out.
Will do! Hopefully I hear something in the next few days. This whole process is so stressful when you're already dealing with job loss.
Tell me about it. The uncertainty is almost worse than the financial stress sometimes.
Quick update for anyone still reading - I just helped my friend use claimyr.com last week for a similar disqualification issue and they got it resolved in 2 days after talking to an actual Washington ESD representative. Sometimes you really do need to speak with someone directly to get these things sorted out fast.
That's really good to know. I'm giving my form submission until tomorrow and then I'll probably try that route.
Thanks for sharing your experience. It's helpful to know what actually works versus just hoping things resolve themselves.

One more thing - check your payment method settings. If you're approved but haven't set up direct deposit or a debit card, that could delay things even if your claim is active.
Good catch! I think I set up direct deposit but I'll double check that it went through properly.
The waiting is the worst part honestly. I remember checking my account like 10 times a day when I first applied. But once you see that weekly benefit amount and can file claims, you know you're good to go.
Thanks everyone for all the help! I feel much more confident about what to look for now. Really appreciate this community.

Washington ESD adjudication is so backed up right now. Even with a clear case like yours it's going to take weeks to resolve. Just be patient and make sure you keep filing your weekly claims even while the appeal is pending.
Yes, keep filing! If your appeal is successful you'll get backpay for those weeks. If you don't file them, you lose those weeks permanently.
This is really important advice. I stopped filing during my appeal and lost 4 weeks of benefits even after I won.
Good luck with your appeal! Defense contract layoffs are legitimate reasons for unemployment and with the right wage calculation you should qualify. The system is frustrating but it does work eventually.
Thanks everyone for all the advice. I feel much more confident about the appeal process now and understand what went wrong with my initial claim.

One thing that helped me was keeping a log of when I filed, what status changes I saw, and any communications from Washington ESD. Made it easier to track progress and have specific questions ready when I finally got through to someone.
That's a really good idea. I'm going to start doing that going forward.
For what it's worth, I used Claimyr when I was in a similar situation and the agent was able to tell me exactly what stage my claim was in and what to expect next. Worth the peace of mind when you're dealing with this kind of uncertainty.
At this point I'm definitely considering it. The not knowing is really stressing me out.
let us know how it goes if you try it, always interested to hear about services that actually help with this stuff

One more thing - if you've been working reduced hours instead of being completely laid off, you might still qualify for partial unemployment benefits. A lot of people don't know this option exists.

•Really? I'm working 20 hours a week now instead of 40. I thought I couldn't get unemployment if I was still working.

•Nope! If your hours or wages were reduced through no fault of your own, you can still qualify for partial benefits. Definitely worth applying.

The whole process is stressful but hang in there. Most people get approved eventually if they're eligible. Just make sure you keep filing your weekly claims and meeting the job search requirements while you wait.
