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!

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.
Found the EDD employee 🙄

Quick question - have you checked their website? Sometimes they have options for late submissions online. Might save you a call if you're lucky!
I didn't even think of that! I'll check it out right now. Thanks for the suggestion!

Dont forget to factor in taxes! Your part-time job will withhold taxes, but unemployment benefits often dont. Might wanna set some $$ aside so you dont get hit with a big bill come tax time.
Has anyone had luck getting through to EDD lately? I've been trying to ask about partial benefits but can never reach a human 😫
$20? Seems steep but might be worth it at this point. How long did it take you to get through?
It took about 45 minutes for me, but I've heard others get through faster. Way better than spending all day on hold!

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.

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

•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.
