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!

For what it's worth, I found Claimyr really helpful when navigating my claim renewal. Their service made it way easier to get answers about the specific timing and requirements. Worth looking into if you're stressed about the process.
I think I'm going to check them out. This whole thing is making me anxious and I'd rather get expert help.
Smart move. Better to get it right the first time than deal with delays later.

This thread is helpful. I was also confused about the exact timeline since there was so much conflicting info online from different sources.
Glad I'm not the only one who found it confusing! September 4, 2021 seems to be the definitive answer.
Yes, that's the official end date for all federal pandemic unemployment programs in Washington.
One thing to remember is that even though pandemic programs ended, regular UI benefit amounts and duration can still change based on economic conditions and state legislation.
Good point. So the basic program continues but the specific rules can evolve over time.
Exactly. Always check current Washington ESD guidance for the most up-to-date benefit information.

Don't overthink this too much. Performance-related terminations are pretty common and most of them result in approved unemployment claims. Just be honest, file promptly, and keep looking for work.
You're right, I'm probably stressing more than I need to. Going to file my claim now and see what happens.
That's the right attitude. The system isn't perfect but it generally works out for people who were legitimately let go through no fault of their own.
Update us when you hear back on your claim! Always curious to hear how these situations turn out for people.
Will do! Fingers crossed it goes smoothly. Thanks again everyone for all the support and advice.
Rooting for you! Remember to keep filing those weekly claims even while waiting for the initial determination.

One more thing - if anyone is having trouble understanding their denial letter or adjudication status, getting through to Washington ESD by phone can really help clarify things. I've used Claimyr multiple times now and it's been a game-changer for actually reaching someone who can explain what's happening with your claim.
I might have to try that. I've been calling for weeks and can never get through.
That's exactly why I started using it. The regular phone lines are impossible, but this actually gets you connected to real agents who can help.
Thanks everyone for all this information! This gives me a much better understanding of how the system works and what to watch out for. Hopefully my friend can get her situation sorted out with an appeal.
Good luck to your friend! Having this knowledge ahead of time is really valuable for anyone who might need to navigate the system.
Definitely. I feel much more prepared now if I ever need to file myself.
