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 wanted to add another perspective - I successfully got TWC benefits after quitting due to harassment from a coworker that management refused to address. The key was showing a clear pattern of escalation and documenting EVERY attempt to get help. What really helped my case was keeping a detailed log with dates, times, and witnesses for each incident. I also saved every email exchange with HR and my supervisor. When I had my determination interview, I was able to give specific examples like "On January 15th, I emailed HR about incident X, on January 22nd I followed up, on February 3rd I met with my supervisor about it" etc. The process took about 6 weeks total including the appeal, but I got approved and received back pay for all the weeks I had requested. Don't give up if you get initially denied - the appeal process is where you really get to present your case properly!
This is really encouraging to hear! I'm definitely going to start keeping a detailed log like you mentioned. Did you have any issues with your employer contesting your claim? I'm worried my old company might try to make me look bad during their side of the investigation.
Yes, my employer definitely contested it! They claimed I never reported the harassment and that I was a "problem employee" who quit without notice. That's exactly why having all that documentation was so crucial - I was able to submit copies of every email, meeting request, and HR complaint I had made. During the appeal hearing, their story completely fell apart when I presented timestamped evidence of my multiple attempts to resolve the issues. Don't worry about them trying to make you look bad - just focus on having solid documentation of your efforts to address the hostile environment through proper channels before quitting.
I went through something very similar about 8 months ago and was able to get approved for benefits after quitting due to a hostile work environment. The fact that you have email evidence of reaching out to management multiple times and getting no response is actually really strong documentation for your case. A few things that helped me specifically: - I created a chronological timeline of every hostile incident along with my attempts to resolve them - I included screenshots of all emails and any responses (or lack thereof) from management - During my determination interview, I emphasized that I made "good faith efforts" to resolve the situation through proper channels before quitting TWC will likely deny you initially - that happened to me too. But during the appeal process, I was able to present all my evidence to a hearing officer who understood that I had genuinely tried to work within the system before quitting. The whole process took about 7 weeks from filing to final approval, but I did get back pay for all those weeks. Don't let anyone discourage you from filing. Yes, the bar is high for "good cause" quits, but your situation sounds like it has the key elements TWC looks for. Good luck!

UPDATE: The money hit my account this morning (Wednesday)! Showed as pending last night around 11pm and was available when I woke up. Thanks again for all the help everyone!
Awesome! Glad it worked out for you! 👍
That's great news! Perfect timing too since your bills are due Friday. Thanks for updating us - this confirms the typical Sunday to Wednesday timeline that others mentioned works pretty consistently.
Great to see everything worked out smoothly for you! This is really helpful for future reference. The Sunday request → Tuesday pending → Wednesday available timeline seems to be the most consistent pattern for BofA customers based on what everyone's shared here. It's also a good reminder to always double-check your work search activities are properly documented before submitting your request to avoid any unexpected delays.

update?? did u get this fixed? im dealing with something similar now 😩
Yes! Finally got through to someone using that Claimyr service someone mentioned above. The agent confirmed it was a system error from their recent update. My determination letter is back in my documents and the claim is showing approved again. The overpayment was completely erroneous - they had somehow merged part of another person's claim with mine. All fixed now, but it took about a week to get it all sorted out.
Glad to hear you got it resolved! This is exactly why I always tell people to document everything and keep pushing when they know something's wrong. The fact that they merged part of another person's claim with yours is concerning but unfortunately not that uncommon with their system updates. For anyone else dealing with similar issues - NebulaKnight's experience shows that persistence pays off. Don't let them tell you to "just wait and see" when you know there's an error. System glitches like this can snowball into bigger problems if you don't address them quickly. Also want to emphasize what others mentioned about contacting your state representative if you can't get through normal channels. Their offices deal with TWC issues regularly and know exactly who to contact to escalate problems.

I went through something similar a few months ago! The key thing that helped me was getting a letter from my local transit authority confirming I had access to public transportation, plus I got my mechanic to write a simple note saying my car was in working condition. Also, don't forget that rideshare services like Uber/Lyft count as transportation too - you can screenshot the apps on your phone as proof you have access. The appeal process can be slow but stick with it - most of these initial denials get overturned if you provide proper documentation. You've got this! 💪

I'm really sorry you're going through this - the uncertainty is absolutely exhausting. I was in a similar situation last year and what helped me was expanding my search beyond just healthcare admin. Have you considered looking into remote customer service or data entry positions? Many companies are hiring for these roles and your admin background would be valuable. Also, regarding the work search documentation - definitely start logging everything in the TWC system again, even if you're not currently receiving benefits. If you do qualify for a new claim, having that complete record will make the process smoother. I learned this the hard way when I had to reconstruct months of job search activities. One more thing - check if your local community college has any quick certification programs for in-demand fields. Sometimes a 6-week program can open doors while you're still looking for something in your preferred field. Hang in there!

•This is such great advice! I actually hadn't thought about remote work seriously - I've been so focused on local positions. Do you have any suggestions for good sites to find legitimate remote customer service jobs? I've seen so many scam postings that I've been hesitant. The community college certification idea is brilliant too. I'm going to look into what programs they offer. At this point I need to be open to pivoting if it means getting back to work. Thank you for the encouragement - some days it feels like I'll never find anything!

Hey Diego, I've been following this thread and wanted to share some resources that might help with remote work since you mentioned being interested in that direction. For legitimate remote customer service positions, I'd recommend checking out: - FlexJobs (paid site but screens out scams) - Indeed with "remote" filter specifically - Working Solutions, LiveWorld, and ModSquad (all reputable companies that hire remote CS reps) - Your state's official job board - they sometimes list remote positions from verified employers For your healthcare admin background, you might also look into remote medical coding or healthcare virtual assistant roles. Companies like AHIMA have job boards specifically for healthcare admin professionals, and many are going remote post-COVID. Since you're dealing with the TWC situation, definitely use Claimyr as others suggested - but also consider reaching out to your local WIOA (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act) office. They sometimes have training funds available for people in long-term unemployment situations, which could help with those certifications Amara mentioned. Hang in there - 8 months is brutal but you're not alone in this market. The healthcare field really does tend to have more openings in fall/winter as budgets reset.
