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 fax never went thru for my hearing n the judge still let me explain my evidence over the phone so dont panic if the fax doesnt work!!
Based on your comment about the doctor's appointment - you should win this appeal. A single one-hour medical appointment does NOT make you unavailable for work under ESD rules. Make sure to emphasize that it was a one-time appointment, that you were available all other hours that week, and that you continued your job search activities. Bring your job search logs showing applications from that specific week if possible. This should be a straightforward reversal if presented clearly.
That's such a relief to hear! I have screenshots of all the job applications I submitted that week (5 total). I'll make sure to emphasize it was just a routine check-up and I was available for work every other day. This gives me hope, thank you!

let us know what happens! im betting it shows up tomorrow or wednesday
Update: The payment just hit my account this morning! Looks like it was just delayed by a day. Thanks everyone for your help and keeping me from panicking too much!
This whole unemployment system is such a joke. They expect us to file everything perfectly on time but then can't even get payments out reliably. And good luck getting answers when you call - I've spent HOURS just trying to talk to a human.
The system definitely has its flaws, but in fairness, most payment issues do resolve within 1-2 business days. It's more the lack of clear communication about delays that causes unnecessary stress for claimants.

i dunno why everyones saying to call esd... have u checked ur bank account? sometimes they just deposit the money without updating the website lol
Yeah, I've been checking my account daily since I got the decision letter (about a week ago). Nothing there yet, unfortunately.
Based on your reply that it's about $4,200 for 7 weeks, that's definitely worth pursuing. While the system should automatically trigger these payments after an appeal win, there's often a disconnect between the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) and ESD's payment systems. Sometimes you need to specifically request what's called a "benefit reinstatement following appeal reversal" - that's the exact phrase that might help when talking to representatives. Also, make sure your current address and payment method are up-to-date in the system. I've seen cases where backpay was issued via paper check to an old address even when people had direct deposit set up.
Thank you! I'll definitely use that phrase when I call. And good point about checking my contact info - I moved about 6 months ago and though I updated my address in the system, it wouldn't hurt to verify everything is correct. Really appreciate the advice!

I'm curious - did anyone contact you about your missed weeks? I'm in a similar situation where I missed filing for 3 weeks (totally my fault, I got a temporary gig and thought I wouldn't qualify, then found out I still could claim partial benefits). I'm scared to backfile them all at once because I've heard horror stories about people getting their claims flagged for fraud review. Did they put you through extra verification or anything?

•They didn't contact me personally, but there was an additional questionnaire I had to fill out explaining why I missed the filing deadline for each week. I just answered honestly about what happened. No extra ID verification or anything, but your situation might be different since you were working part-time. Might be worth calling them first?

•Part-time work is definitely something you want to be careful with. You need to report all earnings for the week in which you EARNED them (not when you got paid). If you backfile now and report those earnings, it might trigger a review. But not reporting them would be much worse and could lead to an overpayment notice later. My suggestion is to call ESD first and explain the situation before backfiling.

•YES! All four payments hit my account this morning as one lump sum! Just under 48 hours after the status changed to 'paid' in the ESD system. Such a relief!
