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!

ESD claim issue: Adding out-of-state work hours after claim cancellation. Help!

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with my unemployment claim. I've got homes in two different states and worked in both last year. Now one of my claims got canceled, and I need to add those hours to my other claim. Has anyone dealt with this before? What's the best way to explain this to the claims center? I'm worried they might not understand my situation.

Have you checked if theres a way to do this online? Sometimes the websites have options for special circumstances that arent obvious at first

I looked but couldn't find anything specific to my situation. The website is kinda confusing tbh

Classic government websites 🙄 Always user-unfriendly

make sure you document EVERYTHING. save emails, take screenshots, write down who you talked to and when. the system is a mess and youll need proof if something goes wrong

ESD reported wrong hours (456 vs 2080) on unemployment claim. How to get it fixed?

I'm having a problem with my unemployment claim. The state agency reported only 456 hours for me last year, but I actually worked 2080 hours full-time. I've uploaded all the necessary documents (paystub, W2, and verification from my employer) to prove this. The minimum requirement is 680 hours, so I should definitely qualify. I've tried filing twice now because I can't get through to anyone to fix this. Has anyone else dealt with something similar? Any advice on how to get this corrected?

Random question, but has anyone had luck with the online chat feature on the unemployment website? I've been thinking of trying that instead of calling.

I tried it once. Waited 2 hours to connect, then got disconnected. 0/10 would not recommend. 😑

Actually, I had a good experience with it! But I think I just got lucky and caught them on a slow day. Worth a shot if you're desperate.

Guys I think I cracked the code. I called the Spanish line and then asked for an English speaker. Got through in 10 minutes! 🤫

0 coins

Isn't that kinda unethical tho? What if someone who actually needs the Spanish line can't get through?

I mean, desperate times call for desperate measures. The whole system is unethical if you ask me. 🤷‍♂️

ESD pending for weeks due to mysterious 'Commissioner Approved Training' - Help!

I've been waiting for weeks to get my unemployment check and I'm getting frustrated. I've been doing my weekly claims but nothing's happening. The status just says 'pending'. When I talked to the workforce office, they mentioned something about waiting on 'commissioner approved training'? I don't even remember signing up for any training. Has anyone else dealt with this? What's going on and how can I fix it?

Anyone else feel like they need a law degree just to understand the unemployment system? 🤔 I swear, half the battle is just learning the lingo.

For real! I've become an expert in bureaucratic jargon against my will 😅

Hang in there, OP! I know it's tough, but you'll get through this. Don't let the system grind you down. Sending good vibes your way! ❤️

ESD application form glitch - stuck midway through, need agent help but can't reach anyone. Any solutions?

I was filling out my unemployment application and got confused halfway through. Now my application is incomplete and I can't finish it. Only an agent can fix the form, but I can't get through to anyone. Has anyone else had this problem? Any advice on how to get it resolved?

I work in IT (not for the unemployment office tho). Sometimes these issues can be caused by browser extensions or security settings. Try disabling all extensions and temprorarily lowering your security settings (remember to put them back after). Also, make sure your browsers up to date. Might help, might not, but worth a shot!

Thanks for the tip! I'll give that a try. Anything's worth a shot at this point lol

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. Been trying to fix my application for weeks. This whole system is a joke. Anyone know if there's a class action lawsuit we can join? 😤
