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!

One additional thing to consider: if you do decide to turn down the temporary position, make sure you continue performing and documenting your three job search activities each week. Sometimes people focus so much on the 'refusing work' issue that they neglect the ongoing job search requirements and get disqualified for that reason instead.
That's a great point! I've been keeping detailed records of my job search activities in a spreadsheet, including the job titles, school districts, application dates, and contact information. I'll definitely keep that up regardless of what happens with this offer.
THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS RIGGED AGAINST TEACHERS!!! My wife went through this exact thing in 2022 and ESD denied her no matter what evidence we provided. They expect highly educated professionals to just take ANY job offer even when it means starting over each year. Meanwhile the district that laid her off posted her EXACT position again 6 months later but wouldn't rehire her! KEEP FIGHTING!
That's frustrating but not always the case. The appeal process does work sometimes - my situation had a better outcome. It really depends on the specific circumstances and documentation. I'd encourage OP to pursue their case properly rather than assuming it's a lost cause.

Has ESD given you any timeframe for when they'll decide? My adjudication took FOREVER in 2024 (like 6 weeks) and I was so stressed about bills the whole time. Keep filing your weekly claims no matter what!
They didn't give me a specific timeframe, just said the adjudication process could take several weeks. I've been filing my weekly claims religiously even though they're all showing as "pending" with no payments. It's getting really tight financially.
thats how they get you!! they hope ull give up so they dont have to pay. the system is RIGGED against workers. keep filing and document EVERYTHING
I faced a similar situation last year and eventually won my case, but it took persistence. Based on my experience with ESD adjudication, here's what helped me: 1. I called ESD directly to explain my situation to an actual person (used Claimyr.com to get through - their video demo at https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3 shows how it works) 2. I submitted a detailed timeline showing: - When the company began layoffs - When my job duties changed - When I requested accommodations - Dates of all communications with my supervisor 3. I got a supporting statement from my doctor confirming my mental health condition The adjudicator ultimately ruled in my favor because I could prove I was making good-faith efforts despite my circumstances and that my employer failed to accommodate a legitimate disability. Keep advocating for yourself!
Thank you for the detailed advice. Creating a timeline is a great idea - I'm going to put that together today. I have documentation from my therapist about my grief-related depression and anxiety, so I'll submit that as well. I've been calling ESD daily but can't get through - I'll check out that service you mentioned.

If you're running into the Monday deadline and still can't access your account, I'd strongly recommend using Claimyr to get through to an actual ESD agent quickly. I was facing a similar situation with a deadline and couldn't get through on the regular phone lines. Claimyr got me connected to an agent in about 20 minutes when I had been trying for days on my own. They have a video that explains how it works: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3 The agent was able to process my response over the phone and note in my account that I had been having technical difficulties. Worth considering given your tight timeline!
Has anyone else used this Claimyr thing? Does it actually work or is it some kind of scam? I'm dealing with similar issues right now.
UPDATE: I finally got in!! The incognito mode suggestion actually worked! I also tried on Firefox instead of Chrome. It still glitched a couple times but eventually let me stay logged in long enough to submit my response to their questionnaire thing. Funnily enough, once I got in I discovered that my original deadline of the 18th was actually correct - I must have misread something or confused it with another notification. But at least it's done now! Thanks everyone for your help. I'm definitely bookmarking that tech support number and keeping these tips for next time (because I'm sure there will be a next time with how glitchy their system is).
Great news! For future reference, I recommend logging in at least once a week even when you don't need to submit anything. This helps prevent some of the authentication issues that happen when accounts go unused for periods of time. Also, if you haven't already, set up text alerts for your ESD account - they're more reliable than the email notifications.
