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 brother works at worksource and he said the chat button only shows up when they have enough staff available which is basically never because theyre super understaffed. he said dont waste time looking for it and just keep calling
That explains why I've never seen it despite checking multiple times a day! Thanks for the insider info
UPDATE: I tried that Claimyr service that someone suggested and actually got through to ESD this morning! Turns out my claim had a weird flag on it because my former employer reported my separation reason differently than I did. The agent cleared it up immediately and said my payments should process within 48 hours. Such a relief! Thanks everyone for your help.
That's great to hear! Employer separation reason discrepancies are common and usually simple to resolve once you actually reach someone. Glad you got it sorted out. Make sure to continue filing your weekly claims while you wait for the payments to process.
This is EXACTLY why the system is so frustrating!! A 30-second conversation fixes everything but they make it IMPOSSIBLE to have that conversation! So glad you got through!

Update us when you hear anything! The timelines seem to vary a lot right now - I've seen some claims get through adjudication in just 2 weeks while others take 6+ weeks. Make sure you check your eServices messages daily and respond immediately to any requests for information.

Here's the official guidance: 1. For Zoom, Teams, or any video interview conducted over the internet: Select 'Website/email' as the contact method 2. For traditional phone calls: Select 'Phone' 3. For in-person interviews: Select 'In-person' The key thing ESD looks for in job search verification is that you can document the activity occurred. So regardless of which method you select, make sure to: - Save the email invitation for the Zoom interview - Note the name and contact information of the interviewer - Record the job title and company accurately - Keep any follow-up correspondence If you're ever selected for a job search review (they do random ones every quarter), having this documentation will prevent any issues with your claim.
This is super helpful - thank you! I didn't even think about saving the Zoom invitation emails as proof. I'll start doing that immediately.
I had five zoom interviews last month and havent been working since november when i got laid off from amazon. i put all of them as website contacts and even got the job at one of them! starting monday finally
Congratulations on the new job! That's great news. I'm hoping one of my interviews works out too.

One more important tip: When you file your new claim, be very consistent with how you described your separation from the previous employer the first time. Any discrepancies, even minor ones, could trigger additional review. Also, while waiting for resolution, make sure you continue filing your weekly claims even if you're not receiving benefits yet.
That's excellent advice. I'll review my previous paperwork to make sure my explanation matches exactly. And yes, I'll definitely keep up with the weekly claims - I made that mistake last time and it created even more problems.
btw when u file online theres a section where u can add comments about each employer. I put in mine "this separation was previously approved for UI in claim #12345 on [date]" and i think that helped cuz they processed faster than last time
That's a great suggestion! I'll definitely add that information to my application. Thanks for the tip.

Smart move with the certified check and formal letter. That paper trail will be invaluable. Fingers crossed for your Supreme Court case!
