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!

ya this happened 2 me 2 months ago & i reopened my claim just fine. got paid the next week no problems. just make sure he does his weekly claim this sunday
Update: We got through to ESD (after many busy signals) and they confirmed he did the right thing by reopening! They said his first payment should come about 7-10 days after filing his first weekly claim if there are no issues. Thanks everyone for your help! I'll update again if we run into problems.
Great news! Just a reminder - make sure he's documenting those 3 job search activities each week. ESD can audit job search logs for up to a year after claiming benefits. Good luck to your husband on his job search!

your in adjudiation? that sucks, mine was stuck there 4 ever!! like 3 months!! and nobody told me why. i finally got paid after contacting my state rep AND the govs office. do both. the squeky wheel gets the greese!!!
Same! Adjudication is the worst. And they never tell you how long it will take. I waited 6 weeks then suddenly all my payments came through at once with no explanation. The system makes no sense.
Important tip based on your adjudication status: If you're able to get through to ESD, ask specifically for an adjudicator or claims specialist. The regular agents are limited in what they can do for adjudication cases. Also, with 8 weeks pending, you likely qualify for a hardship escalation. Make sure to mention the risk of utilities being shut off - that should get you a 72-hour escalation. Document everything - who you spoke with, date, time, what they promised, etc. You might need this information later if there are more delays.
Thank you for this! I had no idea about the hardship escalation. I'll definitely mention that when I call. I'm going to try all these suggestions tomorrow - Governor's office, state rep, and trying to get through to ESD again with these specific requests. I'll update here if anything works!

Update: Just checked my account and it's moved from 'processing' to 'pending issue' overnight. Looks like I might be heading to adjudication too. This is so stressful. Does anyone know if I can still get backpay for these weeks if it takes a long time to resolve?
Yes, if your claim is eventually approved, you'll receive backpay for all eligible weeks (except the waiting week). Keep filing your weekly claims even while your claim is in adjudication or pending status. This is very important - if you stop filing weekly claims, you won't receive payment for those weeks even if your claim is eventually approved. Also check your ESD account alert/message center regularly, as they may request additional information.
KEEP CALLING THEM!! The website updates are meaningless half the time. My claim was "pending" for weeks until I finally got through to someone who fixed it in like 5 minutes. Turns out it was just some stupid verification flag that could have been resolved immediately if they'd bothered to tell me about it. The whole system is designed to make people give up I swear.

So did your payment come through on time? I'm having a similar issue and wondering what happened with yours.
Yes! Everything worked out fine. The status changed to 'paid' early Tuesday morning and the money was in my account by noon. Filing later in the day didn't affect anything after all. Hope yours goes through smoothly too!
This reminds me of when I first started on unemployment back in January... I was so paranoid about every little status change! I once stayed up until midnight to file because I thought it would process faster lol. Now I just file whenever I have time on Sunday and the money always shows up on Wednesday for me. The whole system is confusing at first but you get used to it.

i had this exact thing happen in january and let me tell u what worked for me, go to ur local worksource office in PERSON and ask for a training specialist. dont mess with the regular ESD phone line theres a special department for training cases and the worksource peeps can connect u direct. got mine fixed in like 3 days after spending weeks trying to do it online.

•That's a great tip about going in person! There's a WorkSource office about 20 minutes from us so we'll definitely try that if the forms his counselor is helping with don't work out quickly. Thank you!

one more thing to check - make sure ur husband is answering the able and available question right on his weekly claims. for training benefit people u have to say YES even tho ur in school full time. my friend got denied because she was answering no since she couldnt work while in school. its super confusing!!

•Oh wow, I had no idea about that! I'll double check how he's been answering that question. The whole system seems designed to be confusing. Thanks for the tip!
