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 u check ur spam folder 4 any emails from esd? sometimes they email u if theres a problem with the payment
Just checked all folders including spam - no emails indicating any problems. Just the one confirming the payment was processed. Guess I just need to be patient!

Update us when it arrives! Always helpful to know how long these things actually take. Based on what I've seen in this forum over the past few months, 3-4 business days seems to be the average for backpay amounts over $5000.
I'll definitely post an update once it comes through! Thanks everyone for the reassurance - feeling much better about the situation now.

Just to add some additional context: If your claim has any potential issues (like if you reported partial work, had vacation pay, or if your employer contests anything), it can extend the processing time. But for straightforward claims where everything is verified and there are no discrepancies, the 2-3 business day timeline for processing to paid is generally accurate in my experience. Then add 1-2 days for bank processing. The good news is that seeing it move from pending to processing means the initial verification steps have been completed successfully.
That's reassuring! My case should be pretty straightforward - I was laid off, my employer isn't contesting anything, and I haven't had any income since the layoff. Hoping that means smooth sailing.

hey just wondering did ur money come through yet? im in the same boat (processing since friday) and getting anxious
It just switched to paid this morning! So that was about 2.5 days in processing. Now waiting for it to hit my bank account. Hope yours changes soon too!
Ravi Kapoor

Quick update to my earlier comment - I just remembered the timeline more clearly. After contacting the governor's office, I got an email response in 2 days saying they'd forwarded my case to their ESD liaison. Then I got a call from an ESD specialist 4 days after that, who told me they were expediting my review. My adjudication was completed and benefits paid 3 days after that call. So about 9 days total from governor contact to resolution.

•Thank you for the clarification! That timeline still sounds incredible compared to the silence I've been getting directly from ESD. I'll update here once I hear something - hopefully with good news.
QuantumQuest
UPDATE: Just got a call this morning from someone at ESD! They said they received my case from the governor's office yesterday and were putting it on priority review. The agent couldn't give me an exact timeline but said they're working to resolve it this week. So it took 6 business days from my governor's office contact to get actual movement. Will post again when I get the final decision!
Yara Haddad
•nice! hope they actually fix it instead of just saying they will
That's great news! Those priority reviews typically move much faster than regular adjudication. Keep us posted on the outcome!

While you're waiting for your appeal confirmation, I recommend preparing your evidence. Gather anything that proves you were laid off: termination letter, emails, texts with your boss, contact info for coworkers who were also laid off, etc. The more documentation you have showing it wasn't voluntary, the better your chances. Also write down a timeline of events while it's fresh in your memory.
Micah Trail
•That's really good advice. I have the official layoff notice and emails from HR about the company restructuring. I also have contact info for 2 of the other employees who were laid off with me. I'll start organizing everything now so I'm prepared when I finally get a hearing date.
Marcus Marsh
I had this exact same sitatuion last quarter!!! Actually what happened was my appeal confirmation got sent to my old address even though I updated everything in the system. Maybe check with your old address if you moved recently? Just a thought.
Micah Trail
•I haven't moved recently, but that's a good point about mail forwarding issues. I'll double check that all my contact info is updated in the system. Thanks for the suggestion!

Here's what most people miss when appealing overpayments: You need to be VERY specific about which weeks you're disputing. Don't just say "I think the whole thing is wrong." Go through week by week, showing exactly what you reported vs what ESD claims. Also, be super clear about whether you're disputing the fact that there was an overpayment at all, or if you're requesting a waiver based on financial hardship. Those are two totally different processes! If you truly can't afford to pay it back, you can request a waiver even if the overpayment itself was valid.

•This is so helpful, thank you! I hadn't even considered the waiver option. I think I need to fight that there was no overpayment first, but good to know about the waiver as a backup.

Whatever u do, FILE THE APPEAL ASAP!!!! The deadline is super important. You can always withdraw it later if u figure something else out, but u cant file after the deadline!!
