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!

Plot twist: there is no 'right department'. It's all a conspiracy to make us give up and go back to work 🤡
lmao wouldn't even be surprised at this point 😂
Hey, former EDD employee here. The system is definitely overwhelmed, but here's a tip: if you can, try to find out the extension number for the department you need. Sometimes you can bypass the main menu this way. Also, be super nice to the reps - they're drowning in calls and a little kindness goes a long way.
Thanks for the insider info! Any idea how to find those extension numbers?
Unfortunately, they change pretty often. Your best bet is to ask the rep you talk to for the direct extension of the department you need. Not all will give it, but some might!

Anybody else feel like were playing a game of bureaucratic pinball? 🕹️ You think youve hit the right target but then NOPE back to square one lol
LOL more like bureaucratic Hunger Games 💀
I'm in this comment and I don't like it 😂
Just a heads up, I heard they're implementing a new system next month that's supposed to streamline the whole process. Might be worth waiting if you can.
Source? I'll believe it when I see it tbh
Fair enough. My cousin works in the department, but you're right to be skeptical. These things rarely go smoothly.

lol welcome to the club 🤡 ive been trying to sort out my taxes for months now. the whole system is a joke tbh
Preach! 🙌 It's like they purposely make it confusing just to mess with us.
fr fr. we need a complete overhaul of the tax system. this aint it chief 😤
Have you considered hiring a tax professional? Sometimes it's worth paying for expertise, especially if you're dealing with a complicated situation.
I've thought about it, but I'm worried about the cost. Do you have any idea what the typical rates are?
It can vary a lot depending on your situation, but for a basic tax issue, you might be looking at $100-$200 per hour. Some offer flat rates for specific services too.

The whole system needs an overhaul. It's not equipped to handle the volume of claims, especially with all the changes due to COVID. We need to pressure our representatives to modernize the unemployment system!

Quick question - did you receive any kind of confirmation when you submitted the updated documentation? I'm about to do the same and want to make sure I don't miss anything important.
