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 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!

Quick update for those following this thread: ESD just announced yesterday they're bringing in 45 temporary workers specifically to address the identity verification backlog. They're estimating it will take 3-4 weeks to get back to normal processing times. So there is some hope on the horizon! In the meantime, definitely follow through on contacting your state rep and trying the other suggestions here.
too little too late!!! some of us have been waiting MONTHS!!! why did they implement a new system if they werent ready for it?? typical government incompetence if you ask me
UPDATE: I finally got this resolved! After trying everything suggested here, what finally worked was using Claimyr to get through to an agent (thanks for that suggestion!). Once I got a real person on the phone, they told me the issue was that my driver's license had my middle initial but my ESD account had my full middle name. Such a small thing! The agent was able to override the verification on the spot since I was on the phone with them. My status changed to approved about 2 hours later, and they said I should expect payment within 48 hours for all the back weeks. I'm so relieved! Thank you all for your help during this stressful time.

•That's fantastic news! So glad you got it resolved. It's crazy how such a tiny detail can hold things up for so long. Thanks for updating us - it gives hope to others going through the same thing.

has anyone tried going to the worksource office in person? i heard they can sometimes help with esd issues even though they're separate

•WorkSource staff can help with some basic UI questions, but they don't have access to the same systems as ESD claims agents. They can't resolve adjudication issues or override claim flags. However, they might be able to help identify what the specific issue is on your claim through their limited view of the system. Worth a try if you're completely stuck.

UPDATE: I FINALLY got through! Used the 3:15pm timing suggestion and the menu shortcut from @casual_commenter. Was on hold for 47 minutes but finally spoke with someone. Turns out my claim was flagged because I quit my previous job when my husband got transferred. The agent was actually really helpful and explained that I need to provide documentation of my spouse's job offer and our relocation. She put notes on my account and said the adjudicator should review it within 7-10 business days. THANK YOU all for your help!!

•Great news! Make sure to upload those documents ASAP through your secure portal. Also, when the adjudicator calls for the follow-up interview, be sure to emphasize that remaining in your previous location would have caused hardship due to family separation. That's a key factor for qualifying under the 'good cause quit' provision related to relocating for a spouse's employment.
