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!

When I had trouble reaching someone at ESD about my standby status, I tried for DAYS with no luck. Then I found out about Claimyr (claimyr.com) and they got me through to an actual ESD agent in about 20 minutes. They have this demo video: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3 showing how it works. The agent I spoke with helped me add job search activities retroactively and explained exactly what I needed to do. Definitely worth it instead of stressing for weeks.
Do they actually get you through to a REAL PERSON? Because I've called that ESD number like 50 TIMES and either get disconnected or wait 3+ hours only to get hung up on!!
Update: I finally got through to someone at ESD this morning! They explained that I need to go back and add job search activities for the weeks I was denied standby, but they're giving me until the end of the month to complete them all. They also confirmed I'll still get benefits for this final week before my job starts as long as I report the job acceptance and start date correctly. Thanks everyone for your help - this was so stressful!
That's great news! Make sure to keep documentation of any job search activities you add just in case they audit your claim later.

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!

ya the ESD website is totally usless sometimes lol. mine said pending for like 3 weeks then suddenly changed to PAID with no notification. have u checked ur bank account? sometimes the money shows up before the website updates.
To follow up on this thread: Once you get your claim issues resolved, make sure you understand how the weekly claiming process works to avoid future problems: 1. File every week, even if your claim status is pending 2. Answer all questions accurately - contradictory answers can trigger adjudication 3. Report all work and earnings properly, even partial hours 4. Complete your 3 job search activities each week and document them correctly 5. Be prepared to provide your job search log if requested Many people don't realize that missing even one weekly claim can create significant delays. And once your claim is approved, you'll need to continue these activities to receive your benefits without interruption. Hope you get this resolved quickly!
This is excellent advice, thank you! I've been diligent about filing every week and documenting my job search activities (saving job posting details, application confirmation emails, etc.). I'm also keeping a spreadsheet of all my job search efforts just to be safe. Hoping I can get this resolved quickly so I can finally see some financial relief.

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.

Update: I DID get paid! Filed on Sunday and the money hit my account this morning. Such a relief! Still no explanation about what the adjudication is for, but at least I can pay my bills while they figure it out.
