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!

did it show up yet?? curious if that midnight theory was right lol
Just checked - nothing yet! Guess I'll be waiting the full 48 hours after all. Will update when it arrives.
UPDATE: Since it's been over 24 hours, I would suggest checking these things: 1) Log into BofA/Money Network and check your recent transaction history, not just the balance 2) Make sure you don't have any account holds 3) Check that your card is still active and hasn't expired. If you still don't see it by tomorrow, definitely call the card provider first, and if they don't see a pending deposit, then you'll need to contact EDD directly.
Thank you for the follow-up! Just checked and the payment finally appeared on my card about an hour ago. Took about 30 hours total from when it changed to PAID status. Relief!

have u checked ur money network account online? sometimes the card balance on the website updates before the automated phone system. also there was a holiday on monday so that might add an extra day for processing. my payments are usually in my account exactly 2 days after i certify but holidays mess everything up
I didn't even think about the holiday! That's a good point - maybe that pushed everything back a day. I have been checking the Money Network site directly, not just the automated system. I'll give it until Monday before I really start worrying. Thanks!
Just following up - did your payment come through over the weekend? If not, Monday morning would be the time to contact EDD. One additional tip: when you do reach an agent, ask them to verify that your Money Network card information is correctly linked in their system. Sometimes there can be a mismatch that causes delays.
Great news! The money finally hit my account this morning. Looks like it was just delayed because of the holiday weekend. Thanks everyone for your help! For future reference for anyone else: even though my UI Online showed 'paid' on Sunday, it took until the following Saturday morning for the money to actually appear on my Money Network card. So almost a full week.

Wait you should have recieved an email when you filed your claim. Check your spam folder maybe? Thats where mine went. It should tell you when to certify and how long things take. Not getting ANY communication seems weird, you might want to try calling them to check if they have the right contact info for you.
Just checked all my folders including spam and trash - absolutely nothing from EDD. I'm starting to wonder if they have the wrong email address or something?? But then how did my claim get approved at all? This is so frustrating!
Based on everything you've shared, it sounds like there might be an issue with your contact information. Here's what I recommend: 1. Call EDD as soon as possible to verify they have your correct mailing address and email 2. Ask specifically about the status of your Customer Account Number letter 3. Confirm when your first certification period will be available 4. Ask if they can expedite your Money Network card if it hasn't been sent yet Your claim is approved, which is the good news, but you need to make sure all your information is correct so you can get your documents and start certifying.
You're right, I need to just talk to someone directly. I've been trying to call but can't get through - might try that Claimyr thing someone mentioned. Thanks for all your help!

UPDATE: Just checked the EDD Twitter account and they posted about 30 minutes ago that they're experiencing a delay in payment processing due to a system maintenance issue that ran longer than expected. They say all payments should be completed within 24-48 hours. Here's the link to their official Twitter announcement: [link removed by moderator - please don't post external links]
Thank you SO MUCH for finding this info! I don't use Twitter so I would have never seen this. At least now I know what's happening and can stop worrying.
thx for checking! wish they would email this stuff. not everyone follows them on twitter smh

Since you're waiting for your card, one tip I wish someone had told me - as soon as you get it, create your Money Network account online right away. Then you can at least track when deposits hit the card. You can also set up automatic transfers to your bank account so you don't have to manually transfer each time.

That's great advice, thank you! Looking forward to getting this all sorted out. Seems like the first payment is the hardest part and then things should go more smoothly.
