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 an update on what others have shared - yes, ESD might put your claim in adjudication for a voluntary quit, but with the clear increase in pay and reduction in commute, you should qualify under their "good cause" provisions. The adjudication process can take anywhere from 1-6 weeks based on their current workload, but they've been processing faster lately. If you do get put in adjudication, continue filing your weekly claims as normal during the waiting period. If approved (which seems likely in your case), you'll receive all back payments for those weeks. Also keep documenting your job search activities for your primary occupation while this is happening.
Thanks for this additional info. I'll definitely continue filing and doing my job searches if it goes to adjudication. I'm hoping it processes quickly like the person who said 8 days, but I'll be prepared for it to take longer just in case.
To summarize for you and anyone else in a similar situation: 1. You can quit a part-time job for another part-time job with better pay/conditions while on UI 2. You should expect possible adjudication (review) of your claim 3. Having documentation ready will speed up the process (offer letters, pay rates, addresses) 4. Continue filing weekly claims and conducting job searches during any review period 5. The good cause provisions specifically include "accepting a bona fide job offer with significantly better wages" and "significantly reduced commute time" Your situation checks all the boxes for a successful outcome. Good luck with the new position!
Thank you for this clear summary! This makes me feel much more confident about making the switch. I really appreciate everyone's help and advice on this.

those notices are sooo confusing!!! i thought i had a phone interview but it was actually saying they already made a decision WITHOUT interviewing me and i had to appeal. the whole system is designed to trick people i swear
YES!! the letters are impossible to understand sometimes. like they use all these legal terms and dont explain anything clearly
Just wanted to update - I filed my appeal yesterday and included all the specific details about not receiving any notification. I also requested that the overpayment be waived even if they don't reverse the disqualification decision. Now the waiting game begins... thanks everyone for your help!
Good job! Make sure you continue filing your weekly claims if you're still unemployed, like someone mentioned above. The appeal process can take 6-8 weeks, so be prepared for a wait. Keep checking your mail and eServices account daily from now on for any communication about your appeal hearing date.

Just to provide an update for everyone - I just checked ESD's Twitter account and they've officially acknowledged the system outage. Their post says: "We are currently experiencing technical difficulties with our claims filing systems. Our IT team is working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Claimants who are unable to file today due to this issue will not be penalized. We anticipate systems will be restored by 8AM tomorrow. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I don't use Twitter so I wouldn't have seen it. That's a huge relief knowing they're aware and working on it.
Just a quick heads-up - the system appears to be working again. I just successfully filed my weekly claim about 10 minutes ago through eServices. Might want to try again now!
THANK YOU! Just tried and it worked for me too! Such a relief. Thanks everyone for your help and support.
worked for me too finally!! thx for letting us know

I'm on week 8 of waiting for BOTH of my pending issues to be resolved so consider yourself lucky that one went away already!!! This whole system is designed to make people give up. I've called 47 times in the past month. FORTY SEVEN TIMES. And not once has a human picked up. It's absolute garbage.
I know its frustrating but they do eventually get to everyone. Took almost 10 weeks for my claim last year and I got all the money backpaid. Just keep doing your weekly claims!
10 WEEKS?!?! That's insane! How are people supposed to pay bills while waiting that long?
UPDATE: The second pending issue just disappeared this morning! Looks like they were processed about 3 days apart. No payments showing yet but hopefully they'll come through soon. Thanks everyone for the advice and sharing your experiences!
Great news! The payments typically process within 48 hours after issues are cleared. Make sure your payment method is set up correctly in your account. Glad to hear both issues were resolved relatively close together.

Just checking back - did the weekly claim option appear for you yet? If not, I'd recommend trying both the phone approach and visiting a WorkSource center as others have suggested. Sometimes the in-person help can resolve these issues more quickly.

Update: The weekly claim button finally appeared this morning! Looks like it was just a system delay. I was able to file for last week without any issues. Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions!
