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 want to mention something that happened to my brother - he got his 1099-G but the amount was totally wrong. They had him claiming way more than he actually received! Had to dispute it and it took FOREVER to get corrected. Make sure you check the amount against what you actually got paid last year. If you kept track of your weekly payments you should be able to add them up and see if it matches.
Oh good call - I'll definitely check the amounts. I think I have most of my payment info in my bank statements so I can cross-reference. Hopefully mine is correct, I really don't want to have to go through a dispute process.
UPDATE: I found it! Thanks everyone for your help. It was in my eServices account under UI Tax Information just like you all said. I had to click through a couple of screens but eventually found the 1099-G section where I could download a PDF. The amount looks right based on what I remember receiving. One less thing to stress about for tax season!
Great to hear! Glad you were able to find it without having to call in. Make sure to save a copy somewhere else too, just in case you need it again later. Good luck with your taxes!
yay!! 👍 tax season is stressful enough without this extra hassle

Did you figure this out? I'm curious what the problem was. Also, for anyone else reading this thread in the future, ALWAYS appeal disqualifications even if you don't know why you were disqualified. You have limited time to file an appeal (usually 30 days from the date of the decision), and if you miss that window, you might lose your right to contest the decision regardless of the circumstances.

Hey not to hijack this thread but has anyone else noticed that the payment amounts seem different lately? I used to get $672 but now I'm getting $695 and I didn't report any income changes. Is this normal??
That's completely normal. ESD implemented a cost-of-living adjustment in January 2025 that slightly increased weekly benefit amounts for most claimants. You should have received a notice about it in your ESD correspondence inbox. The increase varies based on your previous earnings, but most people saw a 3-4% increase.
Oh!! Thats awesome, didn't even notice the letter. Thanks for explaining!
UPDATE: The money just hit my account this morning! So it took exactly 4 business days after showing as 'paid' in the ESD system. Thanks everyone for the help and reassurance. I think the holiday weekend definitely affected the timing.
Great news! Glad it worked out. The holiday definitely caused the delay.
Lucky you! Mine once took 7 days after a holiday weekend. The inconsistency drives me CRAZY!

Make sure you track EVERYTHING if you take this job. I got hit with an overpayment because I estimated my hours one week when I couldn't find my timesheet. Keep a separate calendar just for your work hours and take screenshots of any communication about your schedule. ESD will eventually audit you and you'll need proof.
That's really good advice. I'll definitely keep detailed records if I take this position. The last thing I need is an overpayment notice when I'm already struggling financially. Did you end up having to repay the full amount or were you able to appeal?
One additional consideration: if you decline this job offer, ESD might consider it refusing suitable work, which could jeopardize your current benefits entirely. When determining if work is "suitable," they look at factors like: - How the wages compare to the prevailing wage in your area for that type of work - Your physical fitness for the job - Risk to your health and safety - Your prior training and experience - The distance from your home They generally don't consider whether the pay is lower than your previous job if the offered wage is standard for that position in your area. So while this job pays less than your previous position, refusing it could potentially disqualify you from receiving any benefits at all. This makes the partial benefits route potentially more attractive than turning down the position.
I hadn't even considered that aspect! So it sounds like I'm better off taking the position and receiving partial benefits than risking losing everything by declining it. Thank you for pointing this out - it really changes my perspective on the situation.

•October to January... that's over 12 weeks! This is ridiculous. I appreciate knowing what to expect though, even if it's not good news.

UPDATE: For anyone following this thread, ESD just published an official notice on their website about current processing times. They've acknowledged the delays and stated they're currently working through November applications, with most December applications expected to be processed by the end of February. They've also temporarily added 45 additional claims processors to address the backlog. If your claim has been pending for more than 8 weeks with no issues identified, they recommend submitting a claim escalation request through your eServices secure message center.

•Thank you for this update! I just checked their website and saw the notice. I've submitted an escalation request as suggested. Fingers crossed this moves things along.
