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 Overpayment Notice Due to Doctor's Date Mistake - How to Fix?

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with EDD. I got an overpayment notice because my doctor messed up the date on my paperwork. Instead of putting the date I was seen in the office, he accidentally wrote that as the date I could return to work. Now EDD thinks I was able to work earlier than I actually was. Has anyone dealt with something like this before? What should I say when I call them?

Aisha Mahmood

edd is the WORST. i swear they make these 'mistakes' on purpose just to save money. fight it!!!

Quick question - how long ago did you receive the overpayment notice? There might be a deadline for appealing or submitting corrected info.

CA EDD claim processing taking forever - any tips to speed it up?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to process my unemployment claim and it's been a while. I'm in California and I'm wondering if anyone knows how long it typically takes? I've been waiting for what feels like forever and I'm getting worried. Any advice or experiences you can share?

have you checked your ui online account? sometimes they update stuff there without sending an email or anything

Charged twice for unemployment calling service I didn't use - how to get refund when they keep hanging up?

Hey everyone, I'm in a weird situation. My friend needed to contact the unemployment office, so I let him use my credit card to pay for a calling service. Now I'm trying to get a refund because I don't actually need the service myself. I've been charged twice for $29.99. I've tried calling the number on their website for a refund, but they keep hanging up on me. Any advice on how to get my money back?

Daniela Rossi

lmao why would you let your friend use YOUR card? 🤡 Play stupid games, win stupid prizes my dude

EDD payment 3 weeks late despite submitting certifications - urgent help needed!

Hey everyone, I'm really frustrated. I haven't received my unemployment payment for 3 weeks now. I submitted my updated certifications last Thursday, and my doctor sent in the necessary paperwork on Monday. But the EDD website still hasn't updated, and I haven't seen any money hit my account. This is getting urgent. Has anyone else experienced delays like this? Any advice on what I should do when I finally get through to someone on the phone?

Jayden Hill

Guys, I work in IT (not for EDD). Their systems are ancient and held together with duct tape and prayers. It's a miracle they work at all. Not excusing the delays, but just giving some context.

Stuck on hold with EDD for hours - any tips to actually talk to someone about missing payments?

Has anyone else been stuck on hold with unemployment for hours? I've been trying to reach them about missing payments, but all I ever get is that annoying waiting music. It's driving me crazy! I've tried calling at different times of day, but no luck. Any tips on how to actually talk to a human there?

EDD acknowledged doctor's extension but no update - how long does processing usually take?

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my unemployment claim. I sent in a doctor's extension last week and EDD acknowledged they received it, but I haven't heard anything since. Has anyone else dealt with this? How long does it usually take for them to process these extensions? I'm getting worried because my benefits are about to run out.

Isabella Ferreira

I'm in the same boat, sent my extension 3 weeks ago and radio silence since then. This whole system is a joke. How are we supposed to survive while they take their sweet time?

Pro tip: If you can't get through on the main line, try calling some of the other EDD numbers (like the employer line or the disability line). Sometimes you can get transferred to the right department that way.

Pro tip: keep a log of all your calls, who you spoke to, and what they said. It'll help if you need to escalate your case later.
