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!

my cousin works at worksource and she says this happens alot. she said sometimes its just a random audit thing where they flag one week to check your job search contacts more carefully. did u put the full phone number and contact info for all your job searches?
For two of them I had complete info, but for one networking contact I only had an email, not a phone number. I didn't realize you needed both!
That's probably it! Job search contacts need complete information including name, company, date, method of contact, position, AND either phone number or email. If you're missing any of these fields, the system can automatically disqualify that activity, and if you don't have enough valid activities left, it disqualifies the whole week.
Update us when you find out what happened. I'm curious if it was the job search contact information issue. Once you talk to someone at ESD, they should be able to fix it right away if that's all it was.
I finally got through to ESD this morning! You were right - it was because one of my job search activities didn't have complete contact information. The agent was able to update it and remove the disqualification. She said the payment should process in 48 hours. Thanks everyone for your help!
Great news! For future reference, always make sure to include ALL required information for each job search activity. The system is very picky about this.

i had this EXACT issue back in february. the esd website said paid on tuesday but the $ didnt show up til THE NEXT MONDAY!!!! i freaked out and called them everyday but they just kept saying "its processing, just wait" and they were right. super annoying tho when u have bills due!!!
UPDATE: The money finally hit my account this morning (Friday). So it took 4 days instead of the usual 1 day. Thanks everyone for your input - it helped me stop worrying! Seems like delays are just part of the process sometimes.
glad it worked out! 👍
Thanks for updating us! Yes, unfortunately these delays happen periodically. Just FYI - for future reference, if you ever do need to contact ESD about payment issues, specifically mention that you're experiencing a "hardship" due to delayed payment. This can sometimes get your case escalated, especially if you have documentation showing due bills that you're at risk of missing.

my cousin had this happen and she said they sent all her backpay on a prepaid card even tho she had direct deposit set up for her regular payments... might want to watch your mail for that too just in case
Oh wow, really? That's good to know. I'll keep an eye on the mail too then. The last thing I need is to miss a card with that much money on it!
Just to follow up on this thread - any update on your payment? Did it arrive within the timeframe most of us suggested?
Yes! The money hit my account this morning - exactly 9 business days after the appeal decision. Thanks everyone for your help and advice through this. Such a relief to finally have this resolved after 8 months of fighting.

anyone know if esd offices are open saturdays? cant take more time off work or ill get fired
No, ESD offices are only open Monday-Friday, typically 8am-5pm with some closing for lunch. WorkSource centers have similar hours. If you can't take time off, calling is your best option, but be prepared for long wait times.
Thanks everyone for the advice! I think I'll wait one more week to hit the 3-week mark, and then try both calling (maybe with that Claimyr service) and visiting an office if the phone doesn't work out. I'll keep filing my weekly claims in the meantime and hope my employer responded accurately about my hours reduction. Really appreciate all the insights!
That sounds like a good plan. Also, don't forget to check your ESD account notifications and email daily, as they sometimes request additional information through those channels during adjudication. Missing those requests can further delay your claim processing.

•Appeal timelines can vary significantly based on current caseload. While some appeals are resolved quickly, others take longer, especially if there are scheduling conflicts with employers or if the case is particularly complex. The 3-6 week timeframe is an average, not a guarantee.

•Great news! Make sure to prepare and practice your testimony beforehand. Be concise and focus on the facts. And definitely submit that evidence of attempting to contact the manager - that's going to be crucial for your case. Good luck!
