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!

Have you tried faxing it? Sometimes that's faster than mail and they might accept it.

Here's what worked for me: 1. Clear your browser cache and cookies 2. Try logging in using a different browser 3. If that doesn't work, use a different device (like your phone instead of computer) 4. As a last resort, create a new account and link it to your existing claim Hope this helps! Let me know if you need more details on any of these steps.

Creating a new account sounds risky... won't that mess up your existing claim?

Pro tip: if you need info about your case, try contacting your local assemblymember or state senator's office. They often have direct lines to EDD and can help push things along. Saved my butt when I was stuck in limbo for months.

Here's what I've learned after dealing with this mess for months: 1. Be persistent. Call multiple times a day if you have to. 2. Keep detailed notes of every interaction, including dates, times, and names of reps you speak with. 3. Use the online portal to send messages and upload any required documents. 4. If you're not getting anywhere, reach out to your local representatives. 5. Consider using a paid service like Claimyr if you're really stuck. 6. For Spanish speakers, always request a bilingual agent upfront. 7. Be polite but firm with the reps. They're dealing with a lot too. 8. If possible, have all your info (claim number, ID, etc.) ready before you call. 9. Try calling at off-peak hours, like right before they close. 10. Don't give up! It's frustrating, but keep at it. Hope this helps someone. We're all in this together. 💪

Number 7 is key. These reps are just doing their jobs. Being nice goes a long way.

Pro tip: if u cant get thru on the main line, try calling some of the other EDD numbers. Sometimes u can get transferred to the right dept that way.

Here's a detailed breakdown of what you can try: 1. Call EDD directly and explain your situation. Use the script provided by another commenter. 2. If that doesn't work, try these steps: - Visit your nearest EDD office in person (bring your paper application) - Contact your local assemblymember's office - File a complaint with the EDD's online complaint system 3. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, who you spoke to, and what was said. 4. If all else fails, consider seeking legal advice. There are non-profits that offer free legal aid for EDD issues. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! The system is frustrating, but keep pushing until you get results. Good luck!

Has anyone tried faxing their documents? I know it sounds old school, but I've heard it can sometimes get faster results than online submissions.
