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, try to get to an EDD office in person. I know it's a pain, but face-to-face interactions can sometimes get things moving faster. Just be prepared for a long wait.

This! I second this advice. I got more done in one office visit than I did in months of calling.

Anyone else notice that EDD seems to work better for some people than others? Like, my neighbor got her stuff sorted in a week, and here I am, 3 months later, still waiting. Makes me wonder if there's some secret code we're missing 🤔

I've wondered this too! Maybe it depends on which office handles your claim? Or just pure luck?

Its all about who you know, man. System's rigged 😤

Yo, this might sound crazy, but have you tried tweeting at them? I did that out of frustration once and surprisingly got a response. Worth a shot if nothing else is working 🤷‍♂️

Social media callouts can be hit or miss. Sometimes they respond just to save face, other times they ignore you completely. But hey, at this point what do you have to lose?

OP, what state are you in? The process can vary a lot depending on where you are. In my state, there's a specific ombudsman office for disability payment issues that can sometimes help speed things up.

idk if this helps, but I had a similar issue and it turned out they had my address wrong by one number. Might be worth double-checking that with them

The whole system is broken af. We shouldn't have to jump through hoops just to get basic info about our claims. Time for some serious reform imho

Preach! 🙌 It's 2023, why does it feel like we're dealing with tech from 1993?

careful what you wish for. 'reform' usually means budget cuts these days 😒

PSA: If anyone's having trouble getting through to EDD, I've heard good things about this service called Claimyr. It apparently calls for you and connects you when there's a real person. Costs like $20 but might be worth it if you're desperate. https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Nice try, Claimyr marketing team 🙄

Lol I promise I don't work for them. Just sharing what worked for me. But yeah, do your own research!

idk if this helps but I had a similar issue and it turned out I had answered one of the certification questions wrong. Double check all your answers!

I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

20 bucks tho? That's kinda steep...

0 coins

I get it, but think about how much your time is worth. For me, not having to sit on hold for hours was def worth it

Document EVERYTHING. Save screenshots, write down dates and times you tried to access the portal. The more evidence you have, the better your case will be. Trust me, I learned this the hard way 😩
