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!

I'm kinda in the same situation but havent got my appeal date yet. Let us know how yours goes tomorrow if u dont mind! Good luck!
Ava Garcia
•Will do! I'll update after it's over.

UPDATE: Had my hearing this morning and it went WAY better than I expected! The judge was actually really nice and just wanted to understand my situation. The whole thing took about 30 minutes. They asked when I dropped out, why I dropped out, and what jobs I've been applying for. I showed them my withdrawal email and my job search records. They said I should receive a decision within 10 days but seemed pretty positive about my case. Thanks everyone for all your advice - it really helped calm my nerves!
That's great news! Sounds like you were well-prepared. The 10-day wait for the decision is standard. In my experience, if the hearing went smoothly like yours did, it's usually a good sign. Fingers crossed for you!

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!
Derek Olson
•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 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.

Update from ESD: I just spoke with an agent again today, and they confirmed they're aware of the processing discrepancy between phone and online claims. They're working on implementing a fix by next Tuesday that should equalize processing times again. For anyone with urgent payment needs, phone claims are still processing faster for now. But if you can wait, the online system should be back to normal processing speeds by next week.

•Thank you for the update! I was able to reach someone at ESD this morning and they released my payment manually. It's already showing in my account now. For my next weekly claim, I'll probably use the phone system just to be safe until they confirm the online system is fixed.
