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!

UPDATE: After trying for 3 days to call ESD with no luck (constant busy signals), I tried the Claimyr service that someone recommended above. Got connected to an ESD agent in about 40 minutes! Turns out my "phantom notification" was for a letter requesting additional information about my last employer. The letter never showed up in my account for some reason, but the agent was able to see it in their system. Getting this resolved now rather than waiting will hopefully prevent delays with my claim processing. Thanks everyone for your help and sharing your experiences! I'll post another update when my subsequent claim is processed to let you know how long it took.

Glad you got through! This is exactly why it's so important to follow up on those phantom notifications. Hope your claim processes quickly now that you've provided the additional info they needed.

just want to add my partner got 3 phantom notifications in february and they never showed up online but then got disqualified for not responding to them! had to file an appeal saying they never saw the letters. total mess

To answer your follow-up questions: 1. For the documentation of unsafe conditions - yes, that could qualify as good cause, especially if you have photos. Did you ever bring these concerns to your employer before quitting? ESD typically looks for evidence that you tried to resolve the situation first. 2. Regarding benefit year extensions - there aren't automatic extensions currently available like during COVID. The standard benefit duration is 26 weeks. However, there are a few options: - Training Benefits can extend UI if you enroll in approved training - Shared Work if your employer participates - In some cases, a new initial claim if you have wages not used in your first claim Based on your timeline, your most recent employment (Jan-Feb 2025) might not have been included in your base period calculation if you filed in March 2025. Your base period would likely be Q4 2023 through Q3 2024. This means those 2025 wages might be usable for a new claim, but you'd need to address the voluntary quit issue. I recommend applying for the new claim and being upfront about why you left. Upload your documentation during the application process.

This is incredibly helpful. Yes, I did email the owner twice about the safety issues before I quit (I have those emails saved). I'll try filing a new claim with all my documentation attached. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain everything!

dont forget u gotta keep doing job search stuff even when ur waiting for them to figure this out! my friend got denied cuz she stopped doing her activities while waiting for esd to fix her claim issues

0 coins

Good reminder! I've been keeping up with my 3 job search activities every week and documenting everything just in case. Really hoping something comes through soon job-wise, but it's been tough out there.

UPDATE????? Did you hear back yet? The suspense is killing me and it's not even my claim! 😂

0 coins

They approved my claim!!!! Just got the determination this morning. The letter specifically mentioned that "employer failed to demonstrate that claimant knowingly violated a reasonable and clearly communicated policy." I'm so relieved I can finally breathe again. Thanks everyone for the advice and support!

0 coins

That's fantastic news! Congrats on the approval. Just make sure you keep doing your weekly claims and job search activities. Sometimes people get approved but forget to keep filing weekly, and that can cause payment delays.

Just a quick update on current timelines since I spoke with an ESD agent last week about my own issue. They told me that as of April 2025, the average adjudication time is 8 weeks, but can be longer if multiple issues need resolution. The agent mentioned they're still working through a backlog from the February manufacturing layoffs. One thing that might help - have your husband check if his previous employer has actually submitted the corrected dates. Sometimes employers say they'll fix something but don't follow through, and ESD won't tell you this proactively.

0 coins

That's helpful context, thank you. Do you know if there's a way for him to verify whether the employer submitted the corrected dates? Or is that something only ESD can see?

0 coins

Unfortunately, there's no way for claimants to see if employers have responded. Only ESD can see that information. Your best bet is to call ESD again and specifically ask: 1) Has the employer submitted the corrected information? 2) Is there anything else holding up the claim? 3) Can they provide an estimated timeline for resolution? Be sure to get the agent's name and ID number for your records. Sometimes making note of this information (and mentioning you're keeping detailed records of all communications) can motivate them to be more thorough.

btw make sure ur still doing ur weekly claims even while waiting!!! my friend messed up and stopped filing while waiting for her issue to get fixed and then had to start a whole new claim!!!

0 coins

Yes! I've been filing every Sunday without fail. That's good advice though - I've heard horror stories about people having to start over.

Just to follow up on this thread - it's been about 2 weeks since you contacted the Governor's office. Have you received any response or seen any movement on your claim? The typical timeframe would be 7-14 business days for some kind of action.

0 coins

Thanks for checking! Actually yes - I got a call yesterday from an ESD specialist! They said there was an employer response verification that was holding up my claim. They fixed it while I was on the phone and said I should see payments within 48 hours. So relieved! The Governor's office referral actually worked.
