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!

Here's what I've learned from dealing with EDD for months: 1. Keep calling, even if it seems hopeless. Try different times of day. 2. Check your online account daily for updates or new messages. 3. Make sure all your certifications are up to date. 4. If you get through, ask for a tier 2 specialist if the first person can't help. 5. Document everything - dates you called, who you spoke to, what they said. 6. Consider reaching out to your local assembly member or state senator for help. 7. If you're really desperate, that claimyr service someone mentioned might be worth a shot. Hang in there, OP. The system sucks but don't give up!
Thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely try some of these strategies. 🙏
This should be pinned at the top of the sub tbh. Super helpful!

Have you tried faxing your forms? I know it sounds old school, but sometimes it works better than mail or online submission.

Have you tried checking your claim status online? Sometimes the website shows more detailed info than what you get in the mail.
This is why we need a complete overhaul of the unemployment system. It's not equipped to handle the volume of claims, especially during times of crisis. We should be writing to our representatives about this!
Preach! 🙌 The whole system is held together with duct tape and prayers at this point.
Yeah but good luck getting politicians to care about fixing unemployment when they've never had to rely on it 🙄

Pro tip: Keep a detailed log of all your communications with EDD. Dates, times, who you spoke to, what was said. It'll save you a ton of headaches if you need to dispute anything later.

Have you tried checking their website? Sometimes they have explanations for different forms there. Might save you a phone call.

I had the same issue last month. Turns out two of my forms were duplicates (they sent them twice by mistake) and the third was a separate thing entirely. Definitely call and ask - better safe than sorry!
