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 wondering, did your status on eServices change from "disqualified" straight to "reversed" or were there any steps in between? My appeal hearing is next week and I'm trying to figure out what to expect on my account after. The waiting and uncertainty is driving me crazy!
It went straight from "disqualified" to "reversed" with no steps in between. The change happened overnight after my hearing. Good luck with your appeal! The waiting is definitely the hardest part.
Just wanted to follow up - any update on whether your backpay came through yet? This information could be really helpful for others in similar situations.
Yes! The money actually came through yesterday - so it was exactly 6 business days from when the status changed to reversed. All 10 weeks paid at once via direct deposit. Such a relief! Thanks everyone for the advice and support.

make sure u look at ur overpayment notice carefully to see if its a fraud overpayment or non-fraud overpayment. the non-fraud ones r easier to handle n sometimes they waive part of it if u can prove financial hardship. but if they labeled it as fraud u have less options
Thanks for pointing this out. My notice says it's a non-fraud overpayment, so that's at least some good news. They acknowledged it was just a reporting error and not intentional. I'm going to look into the hardship waiver option.
One more thing to consider: if you're still struggling financially, you might qualify for a hardship waiver for part or all of the overpayment. You'll need to complete the "Overpayment Waiver Application" form and provide documentation of your financial situation. This is separate from your appeal, so you can still apply for this even though you lost the appeal. These aren't automatically granted, but it's worth trying if repayment would cause significant hardship.
yea i tried this too! they only waived like 20% of mine but hey better than nothing right

Ugh I wish I'd asked this when I got my job last month. I just stopped claiming benefits completely without telling anyone and now I'm paranoid something bad is going to happen. Should I go back and report something or just leave it?
If it's been less than 4 weeks, I'd recommend submitting a late weekly claim for your final week and marking that you returned to work. If it's been longer, you might want to send a secure message through eServices explaining the situation. Better to address it now than have issues later.
One more important thing - if you worked partial hours during your final claim week, make sure you report those hours and earnings accurately. For example, if your claim week is Sunday-Saturday and you start work on Wednesday, you'd report 3 days of work for that final claim. Being precise here helps avoid any potential overpayment issues.
That's a good point! My last claim will include 3 days of work. I'll make sure to report the exact hours and pay for those days.

my cousin works at worksource and she said sometimes if u go into a worksource center in person they can help u contact esd through their internal channels. worth a try maybe?
Update: I finally got through! I tried the 7:55am trick that someone suggested here AND I also left a message through the secure portal with "URGENT" in the subject line. Not sure which one worked, but I got a call back yesterday and they resolved my issue. Apparently there was a verification issue with my ID that wasn't showing up in my online portal. My claim should be processed within 48 hours now. Thanks everyone for your help!
Awesome news!! So happy for u! Did they say why it wasn't showing up before??
They said something about a flag on my account that needed manual review but wasn't visible to me for "security reasons." Whatever that means! Just glad it's finally moving forward.

Don't forget while you're waiting you should be applying for other assistance if you need it. Food banks, energy assistance, rental assistance etc. No shame in using resources that are there to help during these situations. We had to use food banks during my adjudication period and it made a huge difference.

You're right, and thank you for the reminder. I think we do need to look into some temporary assistance while this gets sorted out.
