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!

Has anyone done the virtual WorkSource appointments? Are those faster to get scheduled than in-person ones?
Virtual WorkSource appointments are generally scheduled in the same timeframe as in-person ones (2-3 weeks currently). However, they offer more flexibility with scheduling and can sometimes have slightly better availability. The content and requirements are identical to in-person orientations.
UPDATE: I used Claimyr this morning and got through to ESD in about 15 minutes! The agent confirmed my WorkSource appointment was actually scheduled for next Wednesday but the notification email had an error. She resent it right away. Such a relief to have this sorted out! Thanks everyone for your help and advice.
Awesome! Glad you got it figured out! Make sure you're prepared for the appointment - have your resume ready if you have one, and bring your job search log with your activities so far. Makes the whole process go smoother.

This is actually correct. The online system works best with Chrome and Edge. If you're using Safari or Firefox, you might encounter more sync issues. The phone system is more consistent but the tradeoff is the delay in database updates.
UPDATE: Just wanted to let everyone know my claim finally updated to 'submitted' in the online system! It took about 20 hours, but at least now I know everything is working correctly. Thanks to everyone for the reassurance and helpful information. I'll definitely keep filing by phone since it works for me, but now I know not to panic if the online status doesn't update right away.

dont forget you need to be looking for full time work even while doing contract stuff!!! esd still requires the 3 job search activities every week
Oh! I actually didn't realize that. So even though I have this contract work, I still need to do job search activities every week? That's good to know.
Yes, that's correct. Unless you're specifically approved for standby status (which is rare these days), you must continue performing and documenting three job search activities each week regardless of part-time or contract work. The job search requirement is tied to receiving any amount of benefits, even partial benefits. Make sure to keep detailed records of all your job search activities in case of an audit.

Thank you everyone for all this helpful information! I'll make sure my direct deposit info is updated, and I'll give it about 3 weeks before I start getting too concerned. If I don't see anything by then, I'll try that Claimyr service to get through to ESD directly. Really appreciate all the advice and sharing your experiences!
have u tried emaling ur state rep? when i had issues wth my claim i emaied my state rep and they got ESD to call me back the next day! worth a try if u dont get the $ soon
I hadn't thought of that! I'll keep that as an option if the refund doesn't come through in a reasonable timeframe. Thanks for the suggestion!

Quick update - I contacted both my state representatives as suggested, and one of their offices actually called me this morning. They've assigned a caseworker who's going to contact ESD directly about my claim. They said they're seeing a lot of healthcare administration layoff claims stuck in verification right now because ESD is batch-processing them by industry. Apparently there was a large healthcare system that did layoffs, so they're checking all healthcare-related claims extra carefully. Still frustrating, but at least I have some explanation now.

That's such helpful information! I am part of that healthcare admin layoff wave - my former employer let go 45 people in my department alone. I reached out to my representatives yesterday and already got a response from one asking for my claim details. This gives me some hope. Thank you again!
