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!

Don't stress too much about this. Yes, ESD's systems are frustrating, but they do eventually sort things out. Just make sure you're completely honest about everything. The worst thing you can do is try to hide information because you're worried about delays. That's what really triggers the fraud investigations that can take months to resolve.

You're right - I need to just be completely transparent. It's hard not to stress when rent is due though! I appreciate the reassurance.

Based on all the advice here, I'd recommend taking these steps immediately: 1. Send that detailed message through eServices explaining the date discrepancy 2. Get documentation from your supervisor about your actual last day worked 3. Continue filing weekly claims accurately, reporting any additional income 4. If you don't see movement within a week, try to speak with an ESD representative directly The good news is that date mismatches are common enough that there are established procedures for handling them. The key is documenting everything clearly.

Thank you! I've already sent the message and reached out to my former supervisor. They've agreed to provide a letter confirming April 15th was my last working day. Fingers crossed this gets resolved quickly!

when i had this happen to me last month i was freaking out too but then it just suddenly showed approved in my account one morning!! no email or anything just check ur account everyday

0 coins

That's actually reassuring to hear! I've been checking my account obsessively anyway. How long did it take from when you submitted your final documentation until it was approved?

UPDATE: Got through to ESD this morning! Used that Claimyr service I mentioned earlier and only had to wait about 20 minutes before speaking to someone. The agent confirmed they received my separation information and said my claim should be processed within 7-10 business days. She also suggested that I check my correspondence tab daily since that's where the decision will first appear. Feeling much better now having an actual timeframe! For anyone else stuck in adjudication limbo, I seriously recommend finding a way to speak directly with an agent rather than just waiting. Makes a huge difference to have actual information.

Thank you SO much for this update! I'm going to try Claimyr tomorrow morning. Even if they just tell me the same 7-10 day timeframe, at least I'll know they have everything they need and haven't forgotten about my claim. Really appreciate you coming back to share this!

After it shows paid, the standard processing time is 24-72 hours, excluding weekends and holidays. I've been through this a few times during seasonal layoffs. First payment after approval sometimes takes a bit longer because they're processing multiple weeks at once. I suggest checking your bank account tomorrow morning - many banks post ACH transfers overnight. Also, make sure you continue filing your weekly claims while waiting for this payment to process.

0 coins

Thank you! I'll continue filing my weekly claims for sure. Actually already did this week's on Sunday. Fingers crossed it shows up tomorrow!

0 coins

YES!!! Just checked and it hit my account this morning at 4:26am!!! All 8 weeks of payments at once! Rent will be paid on time and I can finally breathe again. THANK YOU everyone for your help and support through this nightmare process!

UPDATE: The TAB key method worked! I was able to finally get past the Read and Certify screen by using Tab to highlight the button and then pressing Enter. Submitted my claim successfully. Thank you all for your help! For anyone else having this issue, definitely try the keyboard navigation instead of mouse clicking.

Great news! Glad that worked for you. It's such a simple fix but not intuitive at all. This is a known issue with their form validation code that they haven't prioritized fixing.

I had a similiar problem but it was actually cuz I was answering one of the questions wrong. The system doesnt tell you which question is wrong it just gets stuck. For me it was the question about being able/available for work - I said no because I had a doctors appointment one day but apparently thats not what they mean by that question. Once I changed my answer it went through fine. Maybe double check your answers?

That's interesting - I didn't consider that! My claim is working now but I'll keep this in mind for the future. The questions can be so confusing sometimes.

BTW i fogot to mention... make absolutely SURE you call in 5-10 minutes early for your hearing!!! My judge was super strict about timing and actually noted in the record that I was "punctual" which I think helped my case lol. Also don't interrupt the judge EVER even if they say something wrong just wait your turn to speak!!!

I'll definitely call in early! Good advice about not interrupting - I'll make sure to wait my turn no matter what.

0 coins

One more tip - if the judge rules in your favor during the hearing, ask them specifically when you can expect the decision to be finalized and sent to ESD. Then mark your calendar for about 2 weeks after that date, and if you haven't seen movement on your claim by then, that's when you should contact ESD directly. Often the decision gets made but sits in someone's queue at ESD for processing.

Thanks for this advice! I'll definitely ask about the timeline during the hearing. I'm trying to stay positive that I'll win my case since I really was available for work the entire time I was away.
