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!

I had this issue last month. Turns out there was a flag on my account for potential fraud (I hadn't done anything wrong). Had to upload additional docs to verify my identity. Might be worth checking if that's your problem too.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them. 2. Check your spam folder regularly. Sometimes important emails end up there. 3. Reach out to your local state representative. They can sometimes expedite claims. 4. If you're really desperate, consider the paid calling service mentioned earlier. 5. Join Facebook groups for unemployment support. They often have insider tips. 6. Don't give up! The system is designed to wear you down, but persistence pays off. Remember, you're not alone in this. The EDD is swamped, but that's no excuse for leaving people hanging. Stay strong! 💪

Some offices have reopened for in-person services. Check the EDD website for locations near you. It's not available everywhere, but worth a shot if you have one nearby!

Pro tip: Set up direct deposit if you haven't already. It's usually faster than waiting for the funds to load onto the EDD debit card. Plus, you can avoid those annoying ATM fees. Just go to your EDD account online and look for the direct deposit option.

Hang in there, OP! We're all in the same boat. The system is broken, but we gotta keep pushing through. Don't be afraid to be persistent with EDD. Sometimes you have to be a squeaky wheel to get the grease, ya know? Keep us updated on what happens!

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the main line, try calling some of the other departments. Sometimes they can transfer you internally and it's way faster than waiting on the general queue.

I've had luck with the tax department and the general info line. Just be super polite and explain your situation - most people are willing to help if you're nice about it.

Unpopular opinion: sometimes it's faster to just pay the overpayment and then request a refund later. Worked for me when I was in a similar situation last year.

Fair point. It definitely depends on your financial situation. For me, it was worth it to get them off my back while I sorted out the paperwork. But yeah, not for everyone.
