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 cousin works for the worksource office (not same as esd but they work w/ them) and she says they r SUPER understaffed right now. like half the ppl they need. so thats why everything takes 4ever

UPDATE: Finally got through! The Claimyr thing actually worked after about 90 minutes of waiting. ESD agent told me my claim had been flagged because I worked for two different employers in my base year and one of them hadn't responded to their wage verification request. She manually overrode something and said my claim should move to processing in 24-48 hours. So relieved!
That's great news! Make sure you keep filing your weekly claims while you wait for that processing to complete. You should get all your back weeks paid once it's approved.
Liam McGuire
•Yes, I've been religiously filing every week! Agent said I did everything right and should see payment for all weeks once it processes. Such a relief!

omg dont freak out!! its good theyre calling u!! when i got a call after governors office helped me they just wanted to check if i was actually me (birthday, address) and then asked about my last job and why i left. make sure u answer ANY call today, even unknown numbers!!! they fixed my claim right after the call and i got $$$ the next week!
Thank you! That makes me feel a lot better. I've been stressing all morning thinking they were going to grill me or something 😅 I'll keep my phone in my hand all day just in case!

Good news - the call after a Governor's office request is usually from a higher-level adjudicator who has the authority to resolve your claim on the spot! This means you're being fast-tracked. In my experience, prepare the following: 1. Have your claim ID number ready (from your eServices account) 2. Know the exact dates of employment and separation for jobs in the last 18 months 3. Be prepared to explain your availability for work and any limitations 4. If your issue is about job separation, have a clear explanation of why you left (layoff, fired, quit, etc.) They typically review your file before calling, so they're usually looking for specific information to clear up whatever is causing the adjudication delay. The call usually takes 15-20 minutes, and they often make a decision right away. Good luck! This should resolve your claim much faster than waiting in the regular queue.
They just called! You were right - super quick call where they just verified my identity and asked a few questions about my work availability (that was my adjudication issue). They said my claim should be updated by tomorrow morning! Thank you everyone for the help and reassurance!

my cousin works at the bank and he said sometimes the ACH transfers get delayed in the federal reserve system or something like that
That's not quite accurate in this case. While ACH transfers can occasionally be delayed in the Federal Reserve system, what we're discussing is a systematic change in the ESD payment schedule. You can confirm this by checking your payment status in eServices - the payment initiation date changed, not just the deposit date. Bank delays would be random, not a consistent pattern shift.

Did anyone have to provide any special information when calling the governor's office? Like, do I need my claim ID, social security number, etc.? I want to be prepared before I call tomorrow. Also, should I mention that someone on a forum recommended calling, or just explain my situation?
Have your claim ID ready for sure. I also had my SSN, the date I filed, and a brief timeline of all the ways I'd already tried to resolve it (dates I called ESD, messages I'd sent, etc.). Just explain your situation honestly - that you've tried all the normal channels and are stuck. You don't need to mention the forum. The person I spoke with seemed very familiar with helping people with ESD issues, so this isn't uncommon.

What's the difference between "approval" and "pending payment"? Mine has said pending for like 3 weeks now but I haven't received any money. Will it actually pay out or is this just another step where it can get stuck?
Pending" payment means your claim has been approved and payment has been authorized, but the funds'haven t been released yet. This typically takes 2-3 business days for direct deposit or 3-5 days for debit cards. If'it s been pending payment for more than a week,'I d recommend contacting ESD to see if'there s an issue with your payment method. Make sure your direct deposit information is accurate in thesystem.

For anyone else waiting on adjudication: Keep detailed records of all your interactions with ESD. Write down the date and time of any calls, the name of the person you spoke with, and what was discussed. This information can be invaluable if there are any discrepancies later. Also, make sure that your contact information is up-to-date in your eServices account. Adjudicators often try the phone number listed there first, and if it's outdated, they may move on to another claim after failed contact attempts. You can update your profile information by logging into your account and selecting "Update Contact Information" from the menu options. In my experience working with unemployment claimants, those who maintain organized records tend to have smoother experiences resolving claim issues.

•I wish I'd known this sooner! I never wrote down the adjudicator's name when she called, which probably wasn't smart. Thankfully everything worked out, but I'll definitely keep better records if I ever need to file another claim.

Did the adjudicator talk to you about why your claim was held up for so long? I'm going crazy trying to figure out why mine is taking forever when I submitted everything correctly!

•She actually did explain! In my case, there was confusion about my last day worked. I put the last day I physically went into the office, but my employer reported my last paid day (which included vacation payout). The dates were about 2 weeks apart, so that flagged my account for manual review. Seems like even small inconsistencies can send you to adjudication purgatory.
