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!

did they tell u why it was held up for 6 weeks in the first place? thats a crazy long time
The agent said it was a combination of things - first there was an employer response issue (his company initially contested the claim but then withdrew it), and then there was some confusion about his availability for work. But she didn't really explain why it took SO long, just kept apologizing for the delay.
If Monday comes and your status hasn't changed, when you call back, ask specifically about the "payment release date" - that's the technical term ESD uses internally. Sometimes the issues can be cleared but the payment needs to be manually released by a different department. Asking about the payment release date will get you more specific information.
That's great advice! I'll definitely use that exact phrase if we have to call again. Thank you!

my friend went thru this last month and his landlord was gonna evict him but he showed him the pending esd stuff and the landlord gave him an extra 2 weeks. worth trying to talk to your landlord maybe?
To follow up on your ERPP question - the Eviction Resolution Pilot Program requires landlords to notify tenants about the program before filing an eviction. They must offer mediation/dispute resolution services. Here's what you should do: 1. Document your financial hardship (screenshots of your ESD pending status) 2. Respond to any eviction notices immediately (in writing) 3. Ask for a reasonable payment plan while waiting for benefits 4. Contact a Housing Justice Project clinic in your county for free legal advice Most importantly, stay in communication with your landlord. Many are willing to work with tenants who are proactive and transparent about unemployment benefit delays. Make sure to provide documentation showing you've applied and are waiting for benefits.
This is incredibly helpful. I just found my county's Housing Justice Project online and they have walk-in hours tomorrow morning. I'm definitely going to go and bring all my ESD documentation. Thanks so much for your advice!

One more important tip: While waiting for your appeal or correction, make sure you're meeting the job search requirements each week (3 job search activities). Document everything carefully in your job search log. Even though your claims show as disqualified now, if the disqualification is overturned, they'll check that you were meeting all other requirements during that time.
Thank you for the reminder! I've been applying to jobs but wasn't keeping detailed records. I'll start documenting everything properly now.
update us when u get through to someone! im having similar problems and want to know if that claimyr thing actually works
Will do! I'm going to try multiple approaches - the Claimyr service, contacting HR, and continuing with my appeal. I'll post back when I get some resolution. This community has been so helpful!

Just to confirm - you should be able to see your previous weekly claims in the system. Look for "Weekly Claims" or "Weekly Claim History" in the menu. You should see all previous claims with their status. This can help you verify your normal filing pattern and confirm which weeks you've already claimed. Your filing day is determined by ESD and generally doesn't change, but the approval process can sometimes cause temporary system adjustments.
I just checked my claim history and all my previous weekly claims are showing correctly up through last week. So it definitely seems like this week's claim option is what's missing. I'll keep checking as others have suggested.
Hey, just checking back - did your weekly claim option ever reappear? Mine came back after about 40 hours, right before I was about to call ESD in a panic!
Yes! You were right! The option showed up again this morning. Looks like it was just a temporary glitch while the system processed my approval. Thanks everyone for the help and preventing me from panicking too much!

•It's 10 calendar days, not business days. So weekends are included in that count.

Quick update - I finally reached an ESD agent this morning after using the Claimyr service someone recommended. The agent told me that my employer did NOT respond before the deadline, and they're now processing my claim. She said I should have a decision within 5-7 business days. She also confirmed that my substantial reduction in hours is generally considered good cause for quitting, which makes me feel better about my chances. Thanks everyone for the help and advice!

•That's great news! The fact that they confirmed the hours reduction as good cause is especially positive. Keep us posted on the outcome!
