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!

I'm in the same boat, friend. Been waiting on payments since September. This whole system is held together with duct tape and prayers at this point.
Ugh, I'm sorry you're dealing with this too. Hope we both get our issues resolved soon!

Anybody else feel like they need a law degree just to understand all this bureaucratic nonsense? 🤯
For real tho. I swear they make it confusing on purpose so people just give up 🙄

Here's what worked for me to get my SDI extension: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them. 2. Check your online account daily for updates. 3. If calling doesn't work, try sending a message through the online portal. 4. Reach out to your local state representative's office. They can sometimes intervene on your behalf. 5. Be persistent but polite when you do get through to someone. 6. Make sure all your medical documentation is up to date and submitted. It's a frustrating process, but don't give up. You're entitled to these benefits!
Thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely try reaching out to my state rep, hadn't thought of that.
This is gold 💯 Saving this for future reference!

Pro tip: If you can't get through on the phone, try reaching out on Twitter. Sometimes their social media team is more responsive.
what's their twitter handle?

Here's what I've learned from my own payment delay saga: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of when you submitted docs, who you talked to, and what they said. 2. Be persistent. Call regularly (use that Claimyr thing if you need to). 3. Check your online account daily for updates. 4. If possible, submit documents multiple ways (online, fax, mail) to cover all bases. 5. Reach out to your local representative if it's been more than 6 weeks. 6. Join Facebook groups or forums for real-time updates from others in the same boat. 7. Don't give up! It's frustrating, but your payment will come eventually. Hang in there, OP. We're all in this together. 💪
