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 email spam 2? sometimes they send notices there and u miss them
Yeah I checked everywhere - spam, trash, all my folders. Nothing from them except the original confirmation when I submitted the SAR7. That's what makes this so frustrating!
UPDATE: Just wanted to let everyone know I finally got through using that Claimyr service someone mentioned. Turns out there was a system glitch where my SAR7 was received but my verification documents weren't attached properly (even though they showed as uploaded on my end). The worker was able to see my submission date and reattached my documents. My benefits should be reinstated within 3 business days and they're issuing the payment I missed! Don't give up if this happens to you - keep trying to reach someone and make sure you have your submission confirmation ready to prove you did everything on time.
That's great news! This is exactly why documentation is so important when dealing with CalWORKs. Always keep those confirmation numbers and screenshots. Glad you got it resolved without having to reapply!

UPDATE: I finally got through to someone at the county office this morning! The worker confirmed there was a system error that affected my case and a bunch of others. She put in for an emergency payment that should be on my EBT card within 48 hours. She also said they're working on fixing everyone else's cases too, but it's a manual process so it's taking time. If anyone else is having this issue, definitely keep calling until you get through!
thx for the update! gonna call about mine now
So glad you got it resolved! The squeaky wheel gets the grease with CalWORKs for sure. Never give up on getting what you're entitled to receive.

I just got off the phone with my county office (after THREE CALLS and being disconnected TWICE). They confirmed January 10th for the extra payment. But here's the ridiculous part - they're calling it an "adjustment payment" not an "extra allotment" which is why some workers are giving different information. TYPICAL bureaucratic nonsense, calling the same thing different names and confusing everyone!! They need to get their terminology straight!!
Thank you for confirming! That explains why there was confusion when I asked about the "extra allotment" - my worker probably knew it as the "adjustment payment" instead. So frustrating when they use different terms for the same thing.

This is great news! The warehouse management certification is perfect since it builds on his current experience. Make sure he keeps all his pay stubs and gets his work hours verified monthly using the WTW hours verification form. And congratulations on getting everything sorted out - this is exactly how the program is supposed to work when the communication issues get fixed!

Glad it worked out for u but still be careful, keep copies of EVERYTHING they give u and take pictures of anything you turn in. Don't trust them to keep track of your stuff!
