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!

yah this happens sometimes. the phone system is actually more reliable than the website ime. wait til tomorrow and check again before u do anything else
Update: You all were right! I checked this morning and now the website is showing my claim as "Processing" with yesterday's date. Looks like it just needed some time for the systems to sync up. Thank you everyone for the advice and keeping me from panicking or filing twice!
yay!! glad it worked out!! their system is so messed up sometimes lol

One thing I learned while on unemployment last year - always count business days, not calendar days. ESD operates on a government schedule, so weekends and holidays don't count toward processing times. Since your payment status changed to paid on Sunday, Monday was the first business day, today (Tuesday) is the second, and you'll likely see the deposit tomorrow (Wednesday) or Thursday morning at the latest. If you don't see it by Friday, then it might be worth investigating further.
UPDATE: The money hit my account this morning! You were right about the timing. Thanks everyone for the reassurance - this community is amazing.
awesome! glad it worked out. unemployment is so stressful but at least this part is fixed!
Something else to be aware of - the processing time can also depend on your bank. I have accounts at two different banks, and when I changed my direct deposit information from one to the other, I noticed a significant difference in how quickly the funds became available after showing as "paid" in the ESD system. Credit unions sometimes take an extra day compared to major banks in my experience.

Quick update to my earlier comment - when ESD does a redetermination review, they're supposed to send you a new determination letter regardless of whether they change their decision or not. So you should get something in the mail either way. If it's been more than 3 weeks and you haven't received anything, definitely try to contact them to check the status.

Thank you for these practical suggestions. I'm definitely going to call all my creditors tomorrow and explain the situation. I didn't think about keeping screenshots - that's a really good idea. And I'll look into legal aid if this drags on much longer. It helps to know I'm not alone in dealing with this nightmare.

My brother works at a bank and said they're seeing TONS of ESD delays right now. Something about a new payment processing system ESD is implementing. He said their branch has been reversing overdraft fees for customers with pending ESD deposits as a courtesy. Doesn't hurt to ask!
