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!

Guys, I've worked for the EDD (don't hate me lol). Here's the deal: recertifications can take up to 10 business days to process. If it's been longer than that, definitely follow up. And pro tip: always send important docs via certified mail so you have proof of delivery.

idk if this helps but I had a similar issue last year. Turns out my doctor's office forgot to sign one of the forms šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø Might be worth double-checking all the paperwork is filled out correctly

Pro tip: Next time, send your docs via certified mail. At least then you'll have proof they received it. Learned that one the hard way šŸ˜…

Good question! I don't think they have a dedicated status page, but sometimes they post updates on their social media accounts.

Hey OP, just went through this last month. Here's my experience: 1. Took me 3 days of calling to get through (used the claimyr service on the 3rd day) 2. Had to send in copies of my ID, old and new SS cards, and marriage certificate 3. Took about 2 weeks for the change to show up in the system 4. Had to call AGAIN to make sure my claim was updated with the new info Total pain in the butt, but doable. Hang in there!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! This is really helpful. Did you have any issues with your payments during the process?

Np! My payments were on hold for about a week while they processed everything, but then they released them all at once. Just make sure to keep certifying as usual.

Hey, don't beat yourself up too much. The EDD doesn't exactly make this stuff clear. I had a similar issue last year. Keep pushing and you'll get it sorted out eventually!

Have you considered reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help push things along with EDD.

Pro tip: if you can't get thru on the main line, try the employer line instead. Sometimes they'll still help claimants and the wait is usually shorter.
