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 ā€“ 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!

Quick question for those who've gotten refunds: how long did it take for the money to hit your account after it was processed? Trying to plan my budget here...

Quick question - did your doctor submit the extension before your current claim period ended? If there's a gap, it might cause delays.

Quick question for the OP - did you submit your W-2 electronically or by mail? I've heard rumors that paper submissions are taking way longer to process these days.

Guys, I think we're all missing the bigger picture here. The system is DESIGNED to be confusing and difficult. They're hoping people will just give up and stop claiming benefits. Stay strong and keep fighting for what you're owed!

Hey OP, I actually work in IT for a similar agency (not gonna say which one lol). Here's what you need to know: 1. Once you submit your initial claim, changing contact info is tricky. It's a security measure to prevent fraud. 2. Your best bet is to try and reach a live agent. They can usually override the system. 3. If you can't get through on the phone, try their online chat feature if they have one. Sometimes it's faster. 4. As a last resort, you might need to file a new claim with the correct info. It sucks, but sometimes it's quicker than trying to change the existing one. 5. Always, ALWAYS save confirmation numbers and screenshots of your submissions. You'd be surprised how often their systems 'lose' info. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

This is why we need serious reform in our social services. It's ridiculous that people have to jump through so many hoops to get the benefits they're entitled to. Vote, people!

Here's a detailed breakdown of what you need to do: 1. Get the DE 2525XX form (Physician/Practitioner's Supplementary Certificate) 2. Fill out the top portion with your personal info 3. Take it to your doctor - they need to complete the medical portion 4. Make sure your doctor includes: - Your diagnosis - Current symptoms - Treatment plan - Estimated recovery time 5. Double-check that both you and your doctor have signed and dated the form 6. Make a copy for your records 7. Submit the form to EDD at least 5-7 days before your current claim ends Remember, timing is crucial. Don't wait until the last minute! And if you have any issues, don't hesitate to contact EDD directly or use one of those calling services others have mentioned. Good luck!
