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!

Great news! Make sure you keep documentation of everything just in case there are any future issues. And don't forget to complete your weekly claims while receiving benefits.

One more important tip: When you file your new claim, there should be a section where you can explain special circumstances. Make sure to clearly state: "This is a new claim after requalifying from a previous disqualification. I have earned more than 7x my weekly benefit amount through Instacart work as required and have waited the mandatory 7 weeks." Being explicit about this can help flag your claim for proper processing.

•That's excellent advice - thank you! I'll make sure to add that exact explanation to my new application.

UPDATE: Success! I followed everyone's advice here and it worked! Filed a completely new claim (instead of trying to restart the old one), mentioned specifically in the comments that I was requalifying after a disqualification, and used Claimyr to get through to an actual person who reviewed my case. The agent confirmed that my Instacart earnings DID count toward requalification, and they were able to update my status in the system. My claim is now showing as Pending rather than Disqualified! They said I should see a determination within 7-10 days. Thank you all so much for the help!!!

One thing no one mentioned - check if you have any pending issues on your claim. Log into your eServices account and look under

Just checked my eServices and don't see any pending issues or alerts. Everything looks clean, which makes me think it really is just my bank being slow with processing. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Just curious - is anyone else noticing that ESD seems more willing to waive pandemic overpayments than regular UI overpayments? My cousin and I both had overpayments (mine from regular UI in 2025, hers from PUA in 2020) and she got hers waived easily while I'm still fighting mine.

•You're correct. There were special federal guidelines for pandemic programs (PUA, PEUC, etc.) that allowed for more flexible waiver criteria. Regular UI claims follow stricter state-level rules for waivers. This policy difference continues even though we're well past the pandemic period.

Update: I submitted my waiver request yesterday with TONS of documentation. I included a very detailed explanation of how I misunderstood the reporting requirements during the pandemic and provided bank statements showing I have less than $500 to my name right now. Fingers crossed! Thanks everyone for the advice and I'll post again when I hear back from ESD.

•Good luck! Be prepared to wait 6-8 weeks for a response. In the meantime, if they start any collection activities, immediately call and reference your pending waiver application.
