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!

ppl i work with just cash out the whole thing at atm soon as money hits lol. no app needed!
Just a word of caution about that approach - you're limited to certain ATM withdrawal amounts per day (usually $1000), and some ATMs charge fees if they're not in the Money Network's fee-free network. You get two free ATM withdrawals per deposit period, then they charge $1.25 per withdrawal after that. Always better to transfer to your bank account to avoid fees.
Update on my earlier comment - I just saw that Money Network released an app update yesterday that supposedly fixes the login issues! Maybe try updating the app if you haven't already?
Just checked and there is an update! Installing it now - fingers crossed this fixes the problems. Thanks for the heads up!
Update: Installed the new version and IT WORKS NOW! Finally! Thanks everyone for all your help and suggestions. For anyone else having this issue, definitely make sure you have the latest app update.

Quick update question - is your hearing in-person, phone, or video? The process is slightly different for each format. For phone hearings, make sure you're in a quiet place with good reception. For video, test your connection beforehand. For in-person, arrive 30 minutes early and dress business casual. Also, after the hearing, regardless of the outcome, you should follow up with EDD about that waiting week. If you've already served a waiting week during your benefit year, you shouldn't need to serve another one just because of this issue. That might be a separate administrative error they need to fix.
It's a phone hearing. Thanks for the reminder - I'll make sure I'm somewhere quiet with good reception. And I didn't realize the waiting week might be a separate issue! I already served one when I first applied, so I'll definitely bring that up.

Here's what you should know about payment timing with EDD: 1. When you certify Sunday, payment typically processes Monday 2. Federal holidays delay processing by one business day 3. Direct deposit usually takes 24-48 hours after processing 4. Money Network card deposits are sometimes faster 5. You can check payment status on UI Online under Payment History If your payment status says "paid" but hasn't hit your account, that's normal after holidays. If it says "pending" for more than 3 business days, that might indicate a different issue requiring EDD contact.
Just checked UI Online and it does say "paid" with yesterday's date, so I guess it's just the bank transfer delay. Thank you so much for this clear explanation! Really helpful.

I'm a former disability claims specialist, and I want to clarify something important: your husband MUST BE VERY CAREFUL if applying for both SSDI and UI simultaneously. For SSDI, he needs to prove he cannot perform substantial gainful activity. For UI, he needs to prove he CAN work. These are fundamentally contradictory claims. If he pursues both simultaneously, he could potentially face issues with one or both agencies questioning his credibility. I'd recommend consulting with a disability attorney before proceeding with both applications at once.
That's a really important point I hadn't considered. Maybe we should focus on UI first while he looks for suitable work, and only pursue SSDI if that doesn't work out. We definitely don't want to create any contradictory claims.
btw make sure ur husband ansers the EDD questions right when he certifies!!! the one about "were u able and available for work" MUST be yes or they auto-deny u!!!! also the part about did u look for work needs to be yes with actual job applications
Good point! I'll make sure he answers carefully and keeps detailed records of all job applications. It seems like the certification answers are super important.

so did u figure it out?? were u able to certify??

UPDATE: I got through!! Used the Claimyr service someone recommended and was connected to an EDD rep in about 20 minutes. The rep confirmed there was a certification block because of the overpayment. She removed it and let me certify for the missed weeks right while on the phone. She said the block shouldn't come back while my appeal is being processed, but if it does, I should call back right away. Payment is pending now! Thanks everyone for your help!

•Great news! Glad you got it resolved. Make sure to keep certifying every two weeks on time, even while your appeal is in process. The overpayment appeal can take 6-8 weeks to resolve, but you'll continue receiving benefits in the meantime as long as you keep certifying.
