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!

One more thing - if your claim does go into adjudication (which can happen even for routine verification), don't panic. That's just their process for resolving questions about eligibility. If that happens, you'll receive a notice explaining what information they need. Just respond promptly and continue filing weekly claims during adjudication.
Update: I was able to get through to ESD this morning after a long wait. They confirmed my employer did submit the documents two days ago, but my claim is now in adjudication because I had a small part-time job (10 hours/week) while at the retail store. They said this is routine and I should receive a determination within 2-3 weeks. Thanks everyone for the advice and reassurance!
Great news that you got through! Adjudication for multiple employers is very standard, especially when one job continues while another ends. Just make sure you're reporting any ongoing part-time income in your weekly claims. Glad you got some clarity on your situation!
nice. waiting is the worst part

Just wanted to mention - make sure you keep doing your weekly claims even while waiting for the first payment! Some people think they only need to file after getting paid, but you need to keep certifying every week without interruption.
Yes, I've been filing every Sunday like clockwork! One question though - do I need to list the exact same job search activities in the same order each week? Or is it okay to switch them up as long as I'm doing the required three activities?
You should definitely switch them up! They want to see different job search activities each week. Mix in applying for jobs, updating your resume, attending WorkSource workshops, having informational interviews, etc. Using the exact same activities looks suspicious like you're not actually job searching.

Just to clarify some confusion in this thread - there are actually two different overpayment collection processes at ESD: 1. Voluntary repayment plans - where you've arranged to make payments on specific dates 2. Benefit offsets - where they automatically take a portion of your benefits If you're on a voluntary plan and miss a payment, they don't automatically switch to offsets. They'll typically send notices first if you've missed multiple payments. Being one day late shouldn't trigger anything in their system. Also, keep in mind that with the holiday, their payment processing is likely delayed anyway. Your payment from today probably won't even register as "late" in their system.
wait so if im on a payment plan they WONT take money from my benefits? they've been taking 25% every week even tho i set up a plan??
Update: My benefit payment just hit my account this morning! Normal amount, no deductions or delays. Looks like being one day late on the overpayment didn't affect anything. Thanks everyone for your help and reassurance!
Awesome! Glad it worked out. Holiday stress is bad enough without worrying about benefit payments too.

Just following up - did your payment arrive yet? If not, and it's been 3+ business days, you should definitely contact ESD as there might be a hold on your payment that isn't visible in your online account.

Yes! It finally showed up this morning - took exactly 2 business days from when the status changed to paid. Seems like this is just normal processing time between ESD and ReliaCard. Thanks everyone for the reassurance and advice! I'm definitely switching to direct deposit for future payments and saving that Claimyr contact info in case I have issues getting through to ESD in the future.
