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!

Has anyone tried contacting their local representative about these delays? I've heard it can sometimes speed things up.
How do you even find out who your local rep is? 🤔
Just Google '[your state] find my representative'. Most states have websites where you can input your address and it'll show you who represents you.
Unpopular opinion: maybe we should be grateful extensions exist at all? I know the wait sucks, but at least we have this option.

•Found the government employee 🙄
Lol nah, just trying to see the bright side. But I get the frustration, believe me.

Pro tip: If you can, try faxing your documents instead of mailing them. Sounds old school, but I swear it got my claim moving faster.

•What year is it, 1995? 😂 But for real, if it works, it works!

Anyone else notice that ever since they "upgraded" their system, everything's been slower? I miss the old days when you could actually talk to a human without selling your firstborn.

Pro tip: If you're having trouble understanding the medical jargon in these letters, ask your doctor for a plain language summary. It's your right to understand your own medical info!

Does anyone know if theres a way to check the status of your claim online? Tired of being on hold for hours just to get a simple update smh
Yeah, there should be an online portal where you can log in and check. Have you tried the official website?
Ethan Brown
•I did but it's always 'under maintenance' when I try to log in 🙄 Typical.

Guys, I just found out that my claim was denied because my former employer contested it. Has anyone dealt with this before? What should I do now?
Maya Diaz
•Oh no, that sucks! You should definitely appeal the decision. Make sure you have all your documentation ready and be prepared to explain your side of the story.
Tami Morgan
•I went through this last year. Definitely appeal, and consider getting a free consultation with an employment lawyer. They can give you advice on how to present your case.

Anyone else feel like they need a PhD in bureaucracy just to navigate this system? 🤔 I swear, every time I think I understand the process, something changes!
For real! I've spent more time researching unemployment rules than I did studying for my actual degree 😅
Giovanni Colombo
Quick question - did you file the claim yourself or did your employer do it? Sometimes if the employer drags their feet it can slow everything down.

•My boss said they filed it, but now I'm wondering if I should double check on that. Thanks for bringing this up!

Not sure about your state, but where I am, theres a website where you can check the status of your claim. Might be worth looking into if you havent already
