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!

UPDATE: Finally got through to someone at the county office! They said the supplement was approved but got stuck in their system because of a "batch processing error" (whatever that means). The worker said she'd manually release it and I should see it on my EBT card within 3 business days. She also said this is happening to quite a few people right now because of a recent system update. If anyone else is having this problem, definitely keep trying to reach your county office. Thanks everyone for your help!

•yay!! so glad u got thru! hope it comes thru fast 🙌
Rita Jacobs
One more thing to keep in mind - make sure you check your balance daily once they say they've fixed it. Sometimes these supplements come through at odd hours and not necessarily on your regular benefit deposit day. Also, when you get it, check that the amount matches what you were approved for. I've seen cases where they fix the issue but only part of the benefit amount actually posts. If that happens, you'll need to call them again. Glad you got through to someone!
Darcy Moore
•Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely keep a close eye on it. I've set up text alerts for any deposits to my EBT card just to be sure I don't miss it.

UPDATE: My benefits just loaded about an hour ago! So for anyone else with a T last name who's still waiting, they're definitely processing them today. Thanks everyone for the help and information!

Have you checked if theres any system maintenance or updates going on? Sometimes that can cause delays in showing renewed benefits.

Quick update on timeframes: I just checked the most recent CDSS guidance, and as of 2025, counties are required to process EBT theft claims within 5 business days for households that indicate a hardship. Make sure your son explicitly states he has no other resources for food when filing the claim. If it's been more than 5 business days with no resolution, he should contact his county's CalFresh supervisor directly.

•That's really helpful information, thank you. It's only been one day so far, but I'll make sure he emphasizes the hardship aspect. Do you know if there's any recourse if they don't meet the 5-day requirement?

•Good advice! He thinks it might have happened at a convenience store that had a weird card reader. Definitely a lesson learned for him.
