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!

EDD Claims Stuck in Limbo - Anyone Actually Get Through on the Phone?

Hey everyone, I've been waiting on my unemployment claims for what feels like forever. I've been trying to get through to someone on the phone, but it's been impossible. I'm in the queue now, but it's been hours and still nothing. Anyone else in the same boat? Any tips on how to actually get someone on the line?

Freya Christensen

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

There are online fax services you can use. Might be worth a shot if nothing else is working.

When does 48 business hour window for EDD payment end if submitted Friday?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to figure out when my 48 business hour window for a payment is supposed to end. I submitted my claim on a Friday afternoon, but I'm not sure how to calculate when I should expect a response. Does anyone know how weekends factor into this? I'm getting anxious waiting and could use some clarity.

Friendly reminder to everyone: document EVERYTHING. Save confirmation emails, screenshot your submissions, write down who you talked to and when. It's a pain, but it can save your butt if there's ever a dispute about when you submitted something.

Pro tip: if you're really desperate, reach out to local news stations. Sometimes they do stories on people struggling with unemployment and it can light a fire under the agency's ass.

EDD payment delayed again after Sept 9 fix - no payment after 2 weeks, what to do?

Has anyone else had their payment delayed again? I just got it fixed on September 9th, and they paid me for 26 days. Today marks two weeks since that last payment, but nothing showed up in my account. I'm getting frustrated because I thought this issue was resolved. Anyone else experiencing delays or have advice on what to do next?
