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!

The appeals process is also an option if you disagree with their overpayment determination, but you need to file within 30 days of receiving the notice. Make sure you understand your rights before just accepting whatever they decide.
Good to know. Hopefully it doesn't come to that, but I'll keep it in mind.
Just be prepared with documentation if you do appeal. They want proof of everything - when you worked, what you earned, why you didn't report it initially.
Bottom line: stop filing claims immediately, gather all your employment records, and contact Washington ESD to self-report as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the worse it looks.
That's exactly what I'm going to do. Thanks everyone for the advice and reality check.
Good luck! Most people who self-report and cooperate fully end up with much better outcomes than those who try to hide it.

Just wanted to add that if you have issues reaching Washington ESD customer service, that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier really does work. I was skeptical at first but it saved me hours of calling.
I'll definitely keep that in mind if I run into problems. Hopefully I won't need it!

I used Claimyr when I was having trouble reaching Washington ESD about my denied claim. They got me through to someone who could actually help explain the denial and what I needed to do to fix it. Saved me weeks of trying to call on my own.
Several people have mentioned them. I might give it a try if I can't get through myself.
The video demo on their site shows exactly how it works. Pretty straightforward.

My advice is to gather all her employment records, pay stubs, and any documentation about the layoff before appealing. The more evidence you have, the better your chances. And definitely don't wait - that 30-day deadline is firm.
Great advice. I'll help her get everything together this weekend.
Also consider contacting the employer to get their side of the story before the appeal hearing. Sometimes they'll clarify what they reported to Washington ESD.
Based on everything you've described, I'd bet it's either insufficient wages or an issue with how the employer reported the separation. The fact that she worked at a restaurant with tips makes me think wage reporting might be the culprit. A lot of tip income doesn't get properly reported for unemployment purposes.
Look at her final W-2 from the restaurant and compare it to what Washington ESD shows in her wage history. If there's a big difference, that's probably your answer.
This is exactly the kind of thing Claimyr helped me figure out. The agent was able to look at my wage records and explain exactly what was missing. Saved me so much time and confusion.

Just want to second the recommendation for Claimyr if you can't get through to Washington ESD on the phone. I was skeptical at first but it really works when you need to talk to someone urgently about your claim.

•I'd rather not get into pricing details here, but check their website. For me it was worth it to actually reach an agent when I needed help.
