Unemployment Gurus is the way to go!
"I could write a novel about all my ups and downs dealing with EDD, but Erica was a LIFESAVER and I never would’ve gotten my unemployment if not for her. She helped me get everything I was owed after 14 months of waiting. She was patient and kind and stuck it out with me to get it done. I can’t thank her enough. If you are struggling, Unemployment Gurus is the way to go!"

Prompt, kind, and amazingly helpful
"Erica was basically a guiding light for me right at the beginning of the pandemic, when everything else fell apart! The system could be so overwhelming and one question that I asked through the EDD website didn't get answered for four months. But Erica was prompt, kind, and amazingly helpful -- I can't believe how deep her knowledge of this world goes. She's helped SO MANY PEOPLE and I'm so thankful she's here when we need it most!"

"Erica helped me back in July when I was having some very difficult issues with my benefits. My account was under super scrutiny verifying my ID and I was owed weeks of back pay. In two sessions after Erica calling on my behalf I had the attention of the EDD and started getting forms to verify!! I am usually a do it your self person (tile. carpentry, you name it!) I am so glad I asked Erica to help me!"

"I randomly came across this group on Facebook on unemployment. And Erica Chan had posted something in regards to a question I wanted to ask but couldn't get a straight answer. Until I just asked her myself. And she answered all my questions and has given me peace of mind.
Thank you Erica your the bees knees."

"This lady is phenomenal going to draft a letter to my local paper and it probably will never make it but I’ve got a loud mouth and usually listen she deserves recognition the battle I had to fight should have never been fought but I’m grateful to her I get irritated cuz almost over a half of years money those the back paying bills and people that’s help me but it’s okay I’m back getting to help those in need now as well as these little fur babies that’s where my heart is at! I love you Miss Jade I’ve never met you but you are one of the most phenomenal intelligent not to mention patient if you can put up with me people ever ever dealt with may God for ever bless you and all that you do you and your loved ones! Thank you again"
