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 notice how the EDD website always seems to crash right when you need it most? 🙃 #EDDfail

omg yes! It's like they know exactly when I'm trying to certify and decide to do "maintenance" 🙄

Their tech is probly from the 90s lmao. Wouldn't be surprised if they're still using Windows 95 💀

Hey OP, what specific issue are you having? Might be able to give more targeted advice if we know what's going on.

0 coins

Thanks for asking! My payments have been stuck on pending for 3 weeks now, and I can't figure out why. No one's answering my messages in the portal either.

0 coins

Ah, the dreaded pending purgatory. Definitely try calling, and if you can't get through, consider the assembly member route or that calling service someone mentioned above. Hang in there!

Have you tried reaching out to your local assemblyperson? They can sometimes help speed things up with EDD.

I didn't know that was an option. How do I find out who my assemblyperson is?

0 coins

Just Google "Find my California assemblymember" and enter your address. They usually have a form on their website for EDD issues.

guys i think i cracked the code. if u call and press 2 for employers, then 4 for general questions, u can sometimes get through to a real person faster. worked for me last week!

0 coins

Isn't that kinda unethical tho? 🤔

desperate times call for desperate measures my dude

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 mins on hold last week!

This might sound crazy, but have you tried reaching out on Twitter? I've seen some people get responses that way. Worth a shot! 🤷‍♂️

Social media FTW! 🏆 Public shaming works wonders sometimes lol

Idk if this helps, but I had luck reaching out to my state representative. Their office has a liaison who deals with disability claims. Might be worth a shot!

0 coins

Oh no, that's awful! Have you tried reaching out to local charities or churches? Some offer emergency rent assistance.

anyone else feel like we need a complete overhaul of the PFL system? 🤔 seems like theres always issues

0 coins

100% agree. It's a mess. We should start a petition or something.

0 coins

Petition won't do jack. We need to vote in people who actually care about fixing this stuff.

Hey OP, any update? Did you manage to get through to them?

0 coins

Not yet, I'm calling tomorrow morning. I'll update once I know more!
