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!

This happened to me last year. I submitted my statement after 3 weeks of adjudication and my claim was approved right away. BUT THEN three months later they did an audit and said I was overpaid because they

That's a really good point. Consistency and honesty are super important. I kept copies of all my communications with my employer about the layoff which helped when they questioned me later.

this happened to my cousin last month! turns out he had holiday pay they didn't know about at first and it changed his whole calculation. maybe check if you had any special pay they might have missed initially?
I don't think that's it in my case. I was laid off in a standard reduction in force, no special pay involved. But thanks for the suggestion - I'll double check my last few paystubs just to be sure.

After you file your appeal, make sure to monitor your eServices account daily. ESD often sends requests for additional information with very short deadlines (sometimes just 48 hours). Missing these can cause bigger problems. If you have a smartphone, set up email notifications for your ESD account so you don't miss anything important.
Good advice - I just checked my notification settings and realized I didn't have email alerts turned on. Just fixed that, thank you!

UPDATE: I tried this method this morning and got through to someone after about 15 minutes on the overpayment line. They transferred me to a claims specialist but then I waited for another hour before getting disconnected. 😠Going to try again tomorrow morning. At least I know it's possible to get through this way, just need better luck staying connected during transfer.
I had a totally different experience with ESD last month. Filed my claim, got approved within 3 days, and have been receiving payments on time ever since. No need to call at all. I think it depends on whether your claim has any issues that trigger manual review. Just wanted to share that sometimes the system does work as intended!
must be nice 🙄

I actually have an email from the owner announcing the permanent closure to all staff, so I'll definitely include that. Thanks!
