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!

Pro tip: If you can't get through on the phone, try contacting your local state representative's office. They often have direct lines to EDD and can help push things along.
That's a great idea! I never thought of that. Do you know how I can find my local rep's contact info?
Sure thing! Just google '[Your State] Find My Representative' and you should get a website where you can enter your address to find your rep. Good luck!

Hey OP, quick question - when you say 're-assign eligibility', do you mean you're trying to backdate your claim? Cuz if so, that's a whole different process and you might need to talk to a specific department for that.
Good question! I'm not trying to backdate, just update the end date of my eligibility period. My doctor extended my disability time, so I need to reflect that in my claim.
Ah, gotcha. In that case, you'll need to submit a 'Claim Extension' form. You can usually do this online through your EDD account. Might save you some phone time!

I'm telling you, it's all a conspiracy to make us give up and go back to work for peanuts. Stay strong, comrade! ✊
Take off the tinfoil hat, bro. It's just good old-fashioned bureaucratic incompetence.
That's what they want you to think! Wake up, sheeple! 👀
Hey OP, hang in there. I know its tough but youll get through this. Have you considered looking into local food banks or assistance programs while you wait? Might help ease the stress a bit.
Thanks for the kind words. I haven't looked into that yet, but maybe I should. It's just hard to admit I might need that kind of help, you know?
I get it, but there's no shame in using available resources. That's what they're there for. Take care of yourself first, pride can wait.

Anybody else notice that the DI system seems to be getting worse? I remember a few years ago it was much smoother. Budget cuts maybe?
Definitely! It's like they're trying to discourage people from claiming. Conspiracy theory: maybe that's the point? 🤔
Nah, I think it's just the system being overloaded. Remember how crazy it got during covid? Probably still catching up.

plot twist: the edd is actually a secret government program to test how long citizens can go without snapping. we're all just lab rats in their sick experiment 🐀🧪

Unpopular opinion: maybe try being patient? The EDD is dealing with thousands of claims. I know it sucks to wait, but they're probably doing their best.

•Lol, definitely not. Just trying to see it from their perspective. But yeah, the wait times are still ridiculous.
