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!

I hate how confusing all this is!!!! Why can't they just explain things clearly?? One month you get one amount, next month something different, and the app NEVER has current info!!! So frustrating!
Logan Scott
•Agreed. The communication from county offices is often unclear. If you want a definitive answer about your benefits, always check your EBT account transaction history or call your county office directly. The app updates can lag behind by several days.

UPDATE: I called using that Claimyr service and got through to LA County DPSS in 30 mins! The worker confirmed I AM getting the housing supplement since my zip code is in the pilot program. Mine is scheduled to deposit on the 23rd based on my case number. Mystery solved! Thanks everyone for your help - would have been stressing all month without you!

•Glad you got it sorted out! That housing supplement program is really helping families deal with the crazy rent increases in LA County. Make sure to complete your SAR7 on time so you don't lose eligibility for the supplement.

sry ur going thru this... i had something similar but they took $300 not as much as urs. took like 6 weeks but i did get it back. the letters are super scary and confusing tho, they should really explain the process better
Update: I called my caseworker this morning and requested emergency replacement benefits like someone suggested here. She's processing a partial replacement (40% of my August benefits) that should be available within 3 days! That will help us get through until the full fraud claim gets resolved. She also confirmed my fraud claim is still under review in the "second stage" and should be decided by September 10th. Thank you all for the advice and support! I feel much better knowing this is a normal process, even if it's frustrating. I'll update again when I hear about my full claim.
That's excellent news! I'm glad you'll be getting some relief soon. The 40% emergency replacement is standard, and it's great that your worker was responsive. September 10th is a reasonable timeline for the full review completion. Please do update us when you hear back about your claim.

UPDATE: Just wanted to share that our funds got loaded yesterday! It showed up on the old P-EBT card just like you all said. Thanks everyone for the help!

Quick question - did you report any changes between January and February? Sometimes if you have a pending report or verification that hasn't been processed yet, they'll hold the supplemental payment until it's cleared. Just another possibility to consider.

•No, I haven't reported any changes. I just got approved in January, so everything is still the same. But after seeing the schedule someone posted above, I think I just need to wait until the 23rd since my case number ends in 9. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Just to follow up on this thread - for anyone new to CalFresh in 2025, here's a quick explanation of the different benefit components: 1. Regular CalFresh benefits: Issued once a month on a schedule based on the last digit of your case number (1st through 10th of month) 2. Nutrition Assistance Plus-Up (NAP): Additional supplement based on your household size and circumstances, issued between the 15th-24th depending on case number 3. Special Supplements: Occasional additional benefits for certain qualifying events (disaster relief, back-to-school nutrition boost in August, etc.) Keep in mind that your total benefit amount (regular + NAP) is still subject to the maximum allotment for your household size. The system just splits it into two payments now instead of one. Hope this helps clarify things!

•This is super helpful information! I wish they explained all this clearly when you get approved. Thank you so much for breaking it down - I understand the system much better now. I'll report back when I hopefully get my NAP benefits on the 23rd!
