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!

I tried calling Washington ESD so many times when I got fired but could never get through. Finally used that Claimyr service someone mentioned and got connected to an agent who explained exactly what I needed to do. Made the whole process way less stressful.
I'm definitely going to check that out. I have so many questions and the website doesn't cover everything.
Yeah having an actual person explain things makes such a difference. The agents are usually pretty helpful once you can actually reach them.
Update us when you file! I'm rooting for you. Sounds like you have a strong case for getting approved.
Good for you! Remember to keep filing your weekly claims even if your initial claim is still being processed.
Will do. This forum has been so much more helpful than trying to figure it out on my own. Really appreciate everyone taking the time to respond.

One thing to remember is that your claim balance is tied to your benefit year which is usually 52 weeks from when you first filed. Even if you have money left in your balance, you can't collect after your benefit year expires without filing a new claim.
Good point! I should check when my benefit year ends so I know what to expect.
Yeah that date should be somewhere in your ESD account or on your determination letter when you first got approved.

I always file my weekly claim right at midnight on Sunday when it becomes available. Probably doesn't matter but makes me feel better lol
Haha I can relate to that feeling. Whatever gives you peace of mind!
I do the same thing! There's something satisfying about being first.

Actually had to use Claimyr myself recently when Washington ESD said my claim was under review but wouldn't tell me why. The agent they connected me with was able to explain the issue and tell me exactly what documents I needed to submit. Saved me weeks of wondering what was going on.
Seems like a lot of people have had good experiences with that service. Definitely keeping it as a backup option.
Bottom line: being fired for poor performance is usually not disqualifying for unemployment benefits in Washington. The bar for 'misconduct' is pretty high - they're looking for things like theft, violence, or deliberately violating clear workplace policies. Being naturally slow at customer service doesn't meet that standard.
This thread has been so helpful. I feel much more confident about what would happen if I do get fired. Thank you everyone!
Glad we could help ease your worries. Hopefully it doesn't come to that but at least you know your rights now.

The whole approval process is way more confusing than it needs to be. You'd think they'd just send a clear 'APPROVED' or 'DENIED' message but instead you have to piece it together from different parts of your account.

Update us when you figure it out! I'm sure other people are wondering about the same thing with their claims.
