Holy crap it worked.  I've been waiting for my phone interview for 4 months.  I was skeptical but read through the posts and watched a youtube video someone posted on here about my exact issue.  Once the EDD called me - and they did! - the key was to ask for a tier 2 representative to help me out.  I asked for that and was disconnected the first try.  But as promised by Claimyr I requested a new call and they called back.  This time I was able to get through to a tier 2 rep and he cleared up my problem and ALL the back pay for my unemployment was deposited to my BofA card today!  Amazing.  Thank you so much!

I found a way to solve EDD phone interview delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeUl-Hs2f1Y

Was you in validation process when it got released? #Congrats

Congrats!!! 🎉🎉 Thanks for using Claimyr. Means a lot to us.

Richard, not sure what you mean. But I had been waiting for a phone interview to be scheduled to clear up questions the EDD had. The rep I spoke with today was able to clear those questions and approve payment.

So happy to hear this, Todd! Congratulations!! 🎉🍾

How many days did it take for the pending payments to process? I had my interview yesterday and they released the hold on my benefits but I want to know how soon should I be expecting the money to hit my account?

I made a mistake by saying I didn’t look for work on one certification…. Talk to multiple reps gave all correct info, being waiting for 3weeks and still no money on my updated card worked for every dime but still nothing being deposit everything still pending since July and I called 3 weeks ago and still nothing

Talk to an EDD representative on the first try. https://youtu.be/tP0ZfMV9Gn4

The call hangs up without solving the problem. I need a Chinese customer service representative

Im tried of phone lines saying there full i need to talk to someone now hope this site really works

Dude they call Me and stay quite no one speaks!!

That's amazing news, Todd! Your success story gives me so much hope. I've been stuck in the system for months too, and reading about your experience with asking for a tier 2 rep is exactly what I needed to hear. It's encouraging to know that persistence pays off and that the community resources here actually work. Congratulations on getting your back pay - you must be so relieved! Thanks for sharing the details about your process, it's incredibly helpful for those of us still fighting through this.
