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.
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!

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.

Just wanted to follow up - did you end up getting paid for this week? Usually if the adjudication is newly opened, you'll receive at least one more payment while they're starting the investigation process. It's rare for payments to stop immediately unless there's a clear eligibility issue.

•While it's true that these cases can be challenging, each case is different. The key is having the right documentation and presenting it effectively. I've seen people win appeals with proper preparation, even in voluntary quit cases involving mental health. The judge will be looking for specific elements that establish good cause, not just general statements about being unwell.

How's your appeal preparation coming along? You have about 48 hours to get everything in order. Here's my final advice based on helping several people through this process: 1. Make 3 copies of everything (one for you, one for the judge, one for employer's rep) 2. Write out answers to likely questions so you don't freeze up 3. Be honest but strategic - focus on how your condition made continuing employment impossible 4. If you stumble or get confused during questioning, it's okay to ask for a moment to collect your thoughts 5. Stick to facts rather than emotions when describing your situation One more thing - if your condition might make it difficult to participate fully in the hearing, you can request reasonable accommodations for the hearing itself. Let us know how it goes on Friday!

•Thank you so much! I've been working on gathering everything. My therapist sent over a detailed letter explaining how my condition affected my work and why taking on a high-pressure PIP would have been detrimental to my health. I've also found emails showing I discussed my mental health with my manager months before the severance option. I'm feeling a bit more prepared now, though still nervous. I'll definitely update after the hearing on Friday.
