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!

This happened to me last year. Turns out there was a glitch in the new payroll system they implemented. Took them a week to sort it out, but they eventually did a special run just for those of us affected. Hang in there!

I feel ya. If it does take a while, don't be afraid to ask for help. Some companies will do advances in situations like this.

Hate to be that guy, but have you tried using a different browser? EDD's site sometimes acts up with certain browsers.

Have you considered reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can light a fire under these agencies and get things moving.

Have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds ancient, but sometimes that gets faster results than mailing or uploading online.

Log into your UI Online account and look for any pending tasks or messages about identity verification. If you see anything like that, upload your docs ASAP!

pro tip: if u cant get thru on the main line, try calling one of the foreign language lines and then ask to be transfered to an english speaker. works like a charm sometimes

Have you looked into any local resources for temporary assistance? Some nonprofits offer help while you're waiting for benefits to kick in.

Hey OP, don't forget to look into state-specific programs too. Depending on where you live, there might be additional resources or support available. I found out about a local advocacy group that was super helpful!
