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'm so glad you got it sorted out! The ZIP code mismatch issue is actually pretty common when people update their address with EDD but forget that Money Network maintains a separate record. For anyone else reading this thread who might have similar issues, here are the key takeaways: 1. Always wait 24 hours after phone activation before attempting ATM use 2. Double-check that your ZIP code matches what's on file with Money Network (not necessarily what's updated with EDD) 3. 7-11 ATMs are fee-free for Money Network cards 4. If you're still having issues, call the number on the back of the card and specifically ask about security holds 5. Daily ATM limit is $1,000 but you can do teller withdrawals up to $4,000 with ID and PIN Thanks for updating us with the resolution - this will definitely help other people who run into the same problem!

Just wanted to add - if you're sending a large packet of documents, consider using a priority mail flat rate envelope instead of regular certified mail. It's faster (1-3 business days vs 2-5), includes tracking, and you can still add the return receipt service. I learned this the hard way when my regular certified mail took 6 days to arrive and almost missed my hearing deadline. Also, write "URGENT - APPEALS HEARING DOCUMENTS" clearly on the envelope so it gets proper attention when it arrives at the EDD office.

I'm dealing with something similar but as a substitute aide, not teacher. Got the same "reasonable assurance" denial even though I'm purely on-call with zero guaranteed hours. Reading through everyone's advice here - especially about the P-B-218 precedent case and highlighting the conditional language in district communications - this is exactly what I needed to see! One question for those who've been through the appeal process: how detailed should I get about my irregular work pattern? I have pay stubs showing I worked 0 hours some weeks, 8 hours others, up to 32 hours occasionally. Should I create a spreadsheet or chart showing this inconsistency, or is just submitting the pay stubs enough evidence? Also super frustrated with the EDD phone system. Been trying to get through for a week with no luck. Definitely going straight to the formal appeal route based on what everyone's shared here.

https://proteacher.net/discussions/threads/reasonable-assurance-standard-for-substitute-teachers-is-legal-false-equivalency.694916/ Every Substitute Teacher needs to download copy of this table! Include with your claim. It's complete b s that they say Substitutes have "reasonable assurance" of ANYTHING. In talking to CA EDD, they said this law goes back to like the 1940's (FUTA). If no one will stand up for substitute teachers, substitute teachers have to stand up for themselves. https://www.reddit.com/r/SubstituteTeachers/comments/1hf3ovr/take_the_reasonable_assurance_quiz_something_to/
