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!

Thanks everyone for the perspectives. It's clear that unemployment really is a social issue that affects entire communities, not just individuals. The shared experience of dealing with Washington ESD, the economic ripple effects, and the collective stress all show how interconnected this problem is.
And hopefully people found some practical solutions along the way, like Claimyr for Washington ESD contact issues.
It's helpful to understand we're part of a larger economic and social situation, not just individual failures.

Just to summarize for the OP: Work history + wages in base period, lost job through no fault of your own, able and available to work, actively job searching, and register with WorkSourceWA. File your application online at esd.wa.gov and they'll determine your eligibility. Don't stress too much about whether you qualify - let Washington ESD make that determination.
Perfect summary, thank you! I'm going to file my application this afternoon.
Good luck! The process isn't as scary as it seems once you get started.

Had to use Claimyr myself last month when I couldn't get through to ask about my base period calculation. The regular phone system is just broken at this point. At least claimyr.com got me connected to someone who could actually explain my specific earnings situation.
How long did it take them to get you through?
Like 20 minutes total including the time they spent on hold for me. Way better than the 3 hours I wasted trying to call myself.

The Claimyr service mentioned earlier really does work well. I was skeptical at first but it saved me so much time trying to reach Washington ESD. Worth checking out if you need to follow up on your adjudication status.
I'm definitely going to try it. The regular phone system has been completely useless.
Same experience here. Could never get through until I used their service. Made the whole process much less stressful.
Last thought - even if this drags out for a while, don't give up. The system can be slow but it does work when you have legitimate reasons like safety concerns. Your case sounds much stronger than typical 'insubordination' situations.
Thanks for the encouragement. It's easy to get discouraged but you're right - I need to stay focused on the facts and trust the process.

The benefit calculation seems complicated but it's actually pretty standardized. Your weekly benefit amount will be somewhere between $295 and $999 depending on your earnings history. Most people end up in the $300-600 range based on what I've seen in these forums.

•That range is helpful to know. At least I can plan for something in that ballpark while I wait for the actual determination.

•Yep, and remember the amount is weekly so multiply by 4 to get your monthly estimate. Just don't forget about the waiting week for your first payment.

My last piece of advice: keep detailed records of everything related to your unemployment claim. Save copies of all your applications, correspondence, and weekly claim confirmations. If there are any issues or disputes later, having good records will save you a lot of headaches.
