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 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.

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!

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!

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.

Just to update you - I checked the ESD handbook and confirmed that payments generally begin processing within 72 hours of adjudication approval, regardless of the employer appeal deadline. If your payments don't start by early next week, I'd recommend calling ESD directly. Their current call center hours are Monday-Friday, 8am-4pm.\n\nOne thing to watch for: make sure all your weekly certifications are complete and don't have any errors. Sometimes a single error in one week can hold up all your payments.
