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!

That's great news! Glad to hear it worked out smoothly for you. Just keep filing those weekly claims on time and doing your job search activities, and you should be all set going forward. Wishing you the best of luck with your job search!

Quick question - have you uploaded your paystubs from those weeks to your ESD account? That can sometimes speed up the verification process since they can confirm your hours worked without having to contact your employer.
I didn't know I could do that! Where in the ESD portal can I upload documents like paystubs? That seems like it would definitely help my case.
You can upload documents through your eServices account by going to your dashboard, selecting "Upload Documents" from the menu, and then choosing "Verification Documents" as the category. Make sure to include both paystubs showing the different locations you worked at during that 41-hour week, and it's helpful to include a brief note explaining that these relate to your current adjudication issue.
Perfect! I just found that section and uploaded both paystubs along with a note explaining everything. Hopefully this helps move things along. I really appreciate everyone's advice!

wait does anyone know what happens if u miss the sunday deadline?? like if u file monday does it take longer??
Filing on Monday instead of Sunday typically delays your payment by one business day. ESD runs their payment processing in daily batches. You can file for the previous week anytime until Saturday, but the earlier in the week you file, the faster you'll get paid. Just don't miss the Saturday deadline or you'll need to request a backdated claim.
I think the whole 48 hour thing is just what they tell us. I've had it process in 24 hours sometimes and other times it takes 72+. Doesn't seem to matter if I use phone or online. Pretty sure it depends more on how busy their system is that week.
YES!! This is exactly my experience too! Last December when everyone was filing before the holidays, it took almost 4 days! But in February when claims were lower, I got paid in just over a day. The 48 hours is just an average they quote, not a guarantee.

Yes, you should restart your weekly claims immediately. You may have lost those 3 weeks unless you can show good cause for not filing (and 'I didn't know I had to' usually doesn't count as good cause). The requirement to file weekly continues throughout the appeal process - think of it as preserving your potential eligibility while your case is decided.
Omg thank you!! I'm going to restart filing today! No one at ESD told me this when I called about my appeal. Their communication is so terrible!!
I had a similar experience but with a different outcome. My overpayment was because ESD initially approved me for $684/week but then recalculated 6 months later and said I should've only gotten $425/week. Had to pay back over $5,000! Judge said since I received more than I was eligible for, even though it was their calculation error, I still had to repay it. I did get a payment plan though. Really depends on the specific reason for your overpayment.
That's awful! Did you try requesting a waiver based on financial hardship? I've heard they sometimes approve those even when they won't waive it based on fault. You have to show that repaying would cause significant financial hardship.

Update us if you find out what was causing the pending status. It might help others in the same situation. And as others have mentioned, definitely keep filing your weekly claims while you sort this out.

I definitely will update once I figure out what's going on. Thanks for all the help everyone - this situation is stressful but it helps knowing I'm not alone in dealing with these kinds of ESD issues.
