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!

anyone else notice ESD always says 'paid' way before it actually pays?? like why even have that status if it doesnt mean anything lol
SERIOUSLY!! 'Paid' should mean PAID not 'we're thinking about paying you maybe someday' 🙄
Paolo Rizzo
Actually, 'paid' means ESD has processed the payment on their end and sent the payment instruction to the bank or card processor. It doesn't mean the money has arrived in your account yet. There are multiple systems involved: ESD's payment system, the ACH transfer network, and your bank's processing system. Each step takes time. From what you've described, I think you'll see the money very soon. First payments almost always take longer than subsequent ones. Once you're in their regular payment cycle, it becomes much more predictable.
Update: The money just hit my account this morning! You were right about the timing. Such a relief! Thanks everyone for your help and sharing your experiences.

has anyone gotten backpay for all the weeks they waiting? im on week 5 of waiting
Amina Toure
•Yes, as long as you've been filing your weekly claims during the waiting period, you will receive payment for all eligible weeks once your claim is approved. This is true even if it takes months to resolve. Just make sure you don't miss any weekly certifications while waiting.
UPDATE: Finally got through to ESD this morning using Claimyr! The agent found that my claim was flagged for manual review because my employer reported a slightly different last day of work than what I entered (I put my last day in the office, they put the official termination date which was 2 days later). The agent updated it and said my payments should process within 48-72 hours. Such a relief to finally know what was happening! Will update when money arrives.
UNBELIEVABLE how a tiny 2-day discrepancy can hold up your benefits for nearly 2 MONTHS!!! This system is BROKEN but glad you're finally getting somewhere!!!
Amina Toure
•This is actually a very common issue. The system automatically flags any discrepancy between claimant and employer information, even minor ones. Glad you got it resolved! For anyone else reading this - always use the official last day of employment from your separation notice, not your last physical day at work, to avoid these delays.

how did u even get approved in the first place if ur employer was going to fight it? did they just not respond at first?
Raul Neal
•From what I understand, they didn't respond within the initial timeframe, so ESD approved my claim by default. Then they filed some kind of late response/protest that ESD accepted. The notice mentioned something about "new information from the employer" but wasn't very specific.

One more important thing: while your appeal is in process, you should continue looking for work and documenting your job search activities. The appeal process doesn't pause your job search requirements if you're still claiming benefits on weeks you're eligible for. Also, make sure to request a payment plan application right away, even before your appeal. This shows good faith on your part and starts the process in case your appeal is unsuccessful. ESD has reasonable payment plans that can be as low as $25-50 per month depending on your financial situation. Having your employer not contest the appeal is a huge advantage, but remember the burden of proof is still on you to show you met all eligibility requirements. Be prepared to explain why you qualified for benefits initially.

After you report the fraud, you'll want to get a copy of your full ESD account record. You can request this through a public records request on their website. This will show all claim activity under your SSN, including what address and bank account information was used for the fraudulent claim. This evidence is super helpful for clearing things up with the IRS too.

maybe the $430 is some kind of adjustment from your old claim? like did you ever appeal anything from back then?

•Nope, never appealed anything. My claim was pretty straightforward in 2020, and I only collected for about 3 months before finding work again.
