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!

Just a heads up, when you finally get your backpay, they'll withhold taxes if you elected for that when you filed. Make sure you're prepared for that - the amount might be less than you're expecting if you chose to have taxes withheld.

Just to add some clarity on next steps: you should continue filing your weekly claims as normal. Once the decision is fully processed, your status should change from "appeal pending" or similar to "benefits payable." Sometimes there can be a delay depending on what day of the week your biweekly payment normally falls. For example, if your regular payment date would be this Thursday, but the decision wasn't processed until Friday, you might not see payment until the following Thursday. But the good news is you SHOULD receive all back payments for weeks properly claimed during the appeal process!
Thank you! Just checked my dashboard and it still says "appeal pending" but the decision letter is dated yesterday. I'll keep filing weekly and watching for status changes. Such a relief!

To answer your earlier question - yes, they did backpay me for all the waiting weeks once my claim was approved. So at least you'll get that money eventually, though I know that doesn't help with immediate bills. And I forgot to mention - make sure you set up your direct deposit info in the system right away if you haven't already!
Thank you! That's a relief to hear. I did set up direct deposit right away, so hopefully that's all set. Just playing the waiting game now.
anyone else notice how they always seem to approve right AFTER you call them??? like they see ur number and suddenly approve ur claim lol
There's actually a logical explanation for this. When you call, the agent typically reviews your claim while you're on the phone. If they see it's ready for processing but just hasn't been reviewed yet, they can often complete that review during your call. It's not that they're withholding approval until you call; it's that your call prompts the review that would have happened eventually.

wait so is this regular UC or PUA? cuz those r different payment systems i think
PUA ended in 2021. All current claims would be regular UC, Extended Benefits, or UCFE (for federal employees). The payment timeline is the same for all current programs though - typically 2-3 business days after approval.

I feel your pain. My situation wasn't identical but I had an appeal pending for 3 months and was about to lose my apartment. I contacted my state rep (Phil Williams in my district) and his assistant Ashley was AMAZING. She had someone from UC call me within 48 hours. Turns out my appeal paperwork had been received but not properly entered into their system. Two weeks later I had my hearing date, and three weeks after that I got all my backpay. State reps can't work miracles but they can definitely light a fire under the UC office. What's important is having all your documentation organized when you contact them.

•This is so true! I've noticed that how organized you are makes a huge difference in how quickly they can help. When I contacted my rep's office, they had a specific form for UC issues that asked for all the important details.

Update: I called my state rep's office this morning and spoke to someone in constituent services. They took all my information and said they'd reach out to their contact at UC. They also advised me to upload my supporting documents right away through my dashboard (which I just did). I'll post another update when I hear something. Thanks everyone for the guidance!
