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!

btw did u try the online message center thing? sometimes they actually respond to those
I sent 2 messages already with no response. The website says to expect 5-7 business days for a reply but it's been 8 days now.
UPDATE: I just learned that ESD recently changed their phone system. Try option 2, then 1, then 3 in the menu to bypass some of the general queues. Also, if you're willing to drive to a WorkSource center in person, they sometimes have direct lines to ESD representatives that can help with payment issues. Bring ID and your claim information if you go that route.
Thank you! I'll definitely try that phone menu sequence tomorrow morning. There's a WorkSource about 20 minutes from me so that might be my backup plan if I can't get through by phone. Really appreciate all the help from everyone.

UPDATE: My payment just hit my account at 2:47 PM! Thanks everyone for the reassurance. Guess it was just processing slower than usual this week. I'll remember not to panic next time there's a slight delay!
Glad to hear it worked out! For future reference, you can always check your claim status in eServices under "Payment History" to see if a payment has been issued even before it hits your bank account. This can give you peace of mind during those processing delays.

Quick follow-up about adjudication: if your case is straightforward (like a standard layoff with your employer confirming everything), it might go faster than the 3-6 week estimate. Mine took just 2 weeks in September. But if there's any discrepancy between what you reported and what your employer reported, it definitely takes longer while they investigate.
mine was super simple and still took 7 weeks lol theres no rhyme or reason to it
One thing I learned from my adjudication process - sometimes they need additional information but don't tell you directly. It's worth checking your eServices account every few days and clicking on the "Notices/Letters" section to see if they've posted any requests there. Also check your spam folder for emails from ESD. I almost missed an important questionnaire because it went to spam, which would have delayed my claim even more.
Thank you! I just checked and there's nothing new in my Notices yet, but I'll keep an eye on it daily. I've also added ESD to my safe senders list in email. Really appreciate all the tips everyone's sharing!

I had the same question when I first started UI in January! Once it's in 'processing web' status you're good to go, that means the money is on its way. For me it's always exactly 2 business days after it shows processing. So if it showed processing on Monday, it would be in my account Wednesday morning.

•This happened to my sister too! The system is so stupid sometimes. She had to appeal and it took FOREVER, but she eventually got her benefits. The whole time she was super stressed about paying rent.

FINAL UPDATE: Finally got through to ESD! For anyone in a similar situation - they had me reopen my existing claim since my benefit year wasn't over. I had to provide details about my Oregon job and why I moved there and back. The agent said I still had 18 weeks of benefits remaining on my original claim. I need to serve a new waiting week, and then I can start claiming again! Thanks everyone for your help and advice!

•Excellent! Glad you got it sorted out. Remember to be consistent and thorough with your job search activities (3 per week) and keep detailed records. If you have any questions about what counts as a valid job search activity, check the ESD website or ask here - there are quite a few options beyond just applying for jobs.
