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!

My sister had a hearing last month about her benefits. Don't stress too much! She said the judge was actually really nice and just wanted to understand the situation better. She's still getting her benefits no problem. I think sometimes they just do these hearings as a formality tbh.
Thank you all so much for the advice! I'm feeling much more prepared now. I'm going to gather all my documentation tonight, especially around the position elimination, and be ready to calmly explain what happened. I'll update this thread after the hearing to let you know how it went!
Good luck! Being prepared and calm is the best approach. Looking forward to hearing how it goes.
u got this! most of these hearings r just routine anyway

is there any downside to getting split payments? like does it mean were getting flagged for something?? now im paranoid lol
No, split payments don't indicate any issues with your claim. It's just a processing quirk that happens sometimes with ESD's payment system. As long as your total benefits match what you're expecting and your claim status shows as active/paid, you're fine.

my sister in law had this problem too!!! she ended up having to go to the worksource office in person and they printed it for her. might be worth a try if the online stuff doesnt work
Let me add my experience to the mix - I actually got my 1099-G form in the mail but the online version was nowhere to be found, which made me wonder if they were the same! After spending an entire afternoon trying to figure this out, I called ESD (took forever to get through) and they told me there was a known glitch with the online system where some people could see their forms and others couldn't. They said they're working on fixing it but no timeline was given. Typical. When I asked about what happens if someone never received the mail version, they just said to call and request a new one. But of course you can't get through on the phone! It's a perfect catch-22. The whole unemployment system is designed to be as frustrating as possible, I swear.
totally agree. its like they WANT us to give up trying to get what we need

have u tried contacting ur state representative? my sister was stuck waiting for 6 weeks on an appeal and she called her state rep's office. they have special liasons who can sometimes help speed things up with esd. worth a shot maybe
i tried that too! my rep's office was actually super helpful, got things moving when nothing else worked. they have direct lines to ESD that regular people dont have access to
I was getting nowhere with ESD for weeks trying to resolve my claim issues. Busy signals, disconnects, full voicemail boxes - it was infuriating! Then someone on this forum recommended Claimyr.com and it actually worked. They got me connected to an ESD agent in about 40 minutes when I'd been trying for weeks with no success. You can see how it works in their video demo: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3 Might be worth trying while you're waiting for the OAH process. Sometimes getting through to the right ESD person can resolve things before they even get to a hearing.
Thanks for the suggestion. At this point I've tried calling ESD multiple times but my case is already with OAH so ESD keeps telling me they can't do anything until after the appeal. But I might try this service anyway just to see if I can get better information about my chances with the expedited hearing request.

•EXACTLY! They fix one thing and then act like everything is fine while you're still not getting paid. Classic ESD runaround!

One thing to keep in mind - in my experience, when you go through the Governor's office, ESD typically assigns a specific case manager to handle your claim. If you call ESD directly, ask if there's a case manager assigned to your claim from the escalation. If there is, ask for their direct contact information. Also, check your ESD account for any alerts or action items daily. Sometimes they'll request additional information but won't call or email you about it. Missing these requests can add weeks to your wait time.

•This is excellent advice. I had a case manager assigned after my escalation too, and having that direct contact made a huge difference. Just to add - you can also check the "Letters and Documents" section of your ESD account regularly, as sometimes they'll upload requests there without any notification.
