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!

anyone else feel like the whole unemployment system is designed to be confusing on purpose? 🤔

Omg yes! Its like they want us to mess up so they can deny claims 🙄

Nah, I think it's just old and underfunded. But yeah, it sure FEELS intentional sometimes!

Hey OP, don't sweat it too much. I was in the same boat a few months ago. Filed online, got super anxious, called like 50 times. In the end, everything was fine. Sometimes no news is good news with EDD.

Friendly reminder to everyone: make sure you're certifying for benefits every two weeks! Set a reminder on your phone or calendar. Missing a certification can mess up your payments big time.

This! 👆 I learned this the hard way and had to wait an extra month for my payments to restart. Don't be like me, folks!

Has anyone had luck with the EDD chatbot on their website? I've been trying to use it but it seems pretty useless tbh

0 coins

Lol that chatbot is about as helpful as a chocolate teapot 🍫☕️ Stick to calling or using the online portal for real help.

I actually got some decent info from it once! But yeah, for anything complex, you're better off talking to a human.

OP, have you looked into any state or local programs that might be able to help while you're sorting out your SSN situation? Sometimes there are emergency assistance funds or non-profit orgs that can provide temporary support.

This whole system is a joke. They make it so hard for people who actually need help to get it. Meanwhile, I bet there are tons of people scamming the system successfully. SMH 🤦‍♀️

C'mon guys, it's not that bad. The rules are there to protect the system. Yeah, it sucks when you're caught in a tough spot, but overall it works for most people.

Felicidades por tu buena experiencia! Aprovecho para compartir un tip: si llaman temprano en la mañana (tipo 8am) suele haber menos espera. Me ha funcionado varias veces.
