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!

Just checking back - has there been any movement on your pending payments yet? Sometimes they process a bunch of claims all at once on certain days of the week.
Nora Brooks
•Nothing yet! I just checked again this morning. Still all pending with no changes. I'm going to try calling again tomorrow. At what point should I start worrying that something is actually wrong with my claim?
If it's been more than 10 business days since your approval letter and you've verified all your information is correct (payment method, completed weekly claims, no alerts), then it's definitely time to contact them directly. Sometimes there are processing delays that only a representative can see or resolve.
Jamal Harris
I'm going through the exact same thing right now! Got my approval letter last week but all my weekly claims are still showing pending. It's so frustrating when you're counting on that money. From reading everyone's responses here, it sounds like this delay is unfortunately pretty normal with ESD - seems like there's always some hidden processing step they don't tell you about upfront. I'm going to wait until the 10 business day mark like others suggested before trying to call. Really hoping it resolves itself before then because getting through to them on the phone sounds like a nightmare. Keep us posted on what happens with yours!

Update: My payment finally processed! It showed up as completed this morning and should hit my account tomorrow. Looks like reporting those part-time hours did add an extra day to processing. Thanks everyone for the help and information - definitely helps to know what to expect going forward.
Maya Patel
So glad yours went through! Mine's still pending so I'm going to try that Claimyr service tomorrow morning to see if there's an issue with my claim. This new timeline is cutting it way too close to my bill due dates 😫
Javier Gomez
•@Maya Patel I feel you on the bill stress! I m'new to unemployment and just filed my first claim this week. The timing uncertainty is nerve-wracking when you re'budgeting down to the day. Hope the Claimyr service works out for you - sounds like it could be a lifesaver when you need to talk to someone quickly. Keep us posted on how it goes!

UPDATE: My claim just changed from "processing" to "paid" this morning! So it took about 36 hours total. Thanks everyone for the reassurance. I'll definitely try to stick to Sunday filing from now on to avoid the stress, but good to know that filing later in the week still works.
Great news! Glad it worked out. It's always good practice to file as early as possible, but nice to know there's some flexibility built into the system.
Khalil Urso
Congrats on getting it resolved! This thread is super helpful - I had no idea about the flexibility in filing times either. I've been panicking every Sunday thinking I'd lose my benefits if I missed the deadline. It's reassuring to know that while Sunday is optimal, we have the whole week if needed. Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences and explanations!

This happens to me like once every few months. Usually resolves itself within 24-48 hours. The timing with New Year's week probably isn't helping.
that's reassuring to hear. will try to be patient but it's hard when bills are due
Totally understand the stress. Maybe call your landlord and explain the delay if rent is your main concern?
Nalani Liu
I'm experiencing the exact same issue! Filed my weekly claim on Sunday and Washington ESD shows "paid" status, but my bank account is still empty as of Friday morning. This is really concerning since I've never had a delay this long before. Has anyone who posted earlier received their payment yet? I'm wondering if this is a system-wide issue affecting multiple claimants this week.
Douglas Foster
this happened to me back in january too. i think it happend to everyone. took like 4 extra days but the money showed up eventually. unemployment is such a pain!! but at least it pays the bills... when it finally comes through lol

I'm dealing with the same issue right now - filed Sunday and still showing processing. Reading through everyone's experiences here is really helpful though! It sounds like this quarterly verification delay is pretty normal, even if ESD doesn't communicate it well. I'm going to wait until Monday before trying to call, but it's good to know about that Claimyr service if I need it. Thanks everyone for sharing your situations - makes me feel less alone in this frustrating process!
