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!

i was on unemployment last year and my brothers on it now and we both noticed that sometimes the website says one thing but the reality is different the whole system is super confusing and outdated tbh. my brother had a similar thing where they said hed be paid but the website didnt change for like 3 days but he did get paid eventually.
Thanks for sharing! It's good to know I'm not alone in this confusion. Hoping I have the same outcome as your brother.
UPDATE: You guys were right! The money hit my account this morning even though the website STILL says disqualified. So relieved right now. Thank you all for the reassurance and advice. For anyone else in this situation - trust what the agent tells you if they specifically mention processing the payment that night, even if the website doesn't update!
Great news! The system will likely update in the next day or so. Thanks for letting us know - these success stories help others who might be going through the same thing.
lucky you!!! glad it worked out. wish my experience had been the same lol

i herd that theres a new update to the esd system thats why evryones payments r late. my cousin works at a job center and said they were told about system maintenance this week. nobody tells us nuthin tho!!
That would explain it! It would be nice if they sent out emails or something when they're doing system updates that might affect payments. The lack of communication is what causes all the panic.
Just wanted to update everyone that I called ESD this morning (got through after about 45 minutes on hold) and they confirmed there was a processing delay with their ACH payment batch yesterday. The representative said all delayed payments should have been processed by midnight last night, and that this was due to a scheduled system update that took longer than expected. If anyone still hasn't received their payment by now, that would be unusual and worth calling about specifically.
Thank you so much for sharing this information! Mine did come through yesterday afternoon. I appreciate you taking the time to call and then post what you learned here. Very helpful for the community.

One more thing to be aware of - ESD has specific requirements about what counts as a "job search activity" for self-employment. According to their guidelines, these typically need to be: 1. Specific actions that directly establish your business (like your notary application, getting business licenses, etc.) 2. Activities that would reasonably lead to income-producing opportunities 3. Properly documented with dates, time spent, and outcomes General research probably won't count, but completing required notary training, submitting your application to become commissioned, and setting up your business license should all qualify as concrete steps toward establishing self-employment. Also look into WorkSource's self-employment resources - attending one of their small business workshops definitely counts as a job search activity and they can give you additional guidance.

•This is incredibly helpful - thank you! I'll check out the WorkSource workshops too. I think I'm on the right track with focusing on the application, licensing, and required training as my activities. I'll make sure to document everything meticulously.

•Yes, potentially! Activities specifically related to establishing and expanding your Etsy business could count - things like business license applications, creating wholesale accounts with suppliers, setting up business banking, developing your product line, etc. But again, best to confirm with ESD directly what would count in your specific situation.
