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!

Has anyone else noticed that the EDD website is always down for maintenance when you need it most? It's like they WANT us to miss our certification deadlines 🙄

OMG YES! I swear it's a conspiracy to reduce payouts or something 😂

Pro tip: Try accessing the site late at night or early morning. Less traffic, fewer issues!

Guys, I'm in the same boat. Been on unemployment for 3 months now and every week is a new adventure in bureaucratic nonsense. Hang in there, we're all learning the ropes together! 💪

Thanks for the positivity! Sometimes it feels like we're all just stuck in this weird EDD limbo

No problem! We gotta stick together. This whole process is a marathon, not a sprint!

Pro tip: If you're trying to reach a specific department, try these menu options when you call: 1. Press 1 for English 2. Press 1 for claim questions 3. Press 2 for employer questions 4. Enter your social security number 5. Press 1 to confirm This usually gets me to a human faster. Hope it helps!

I tried this and it worked! Only had to wait on hold for 45 minutes instead of never getting through lol

Have you considered reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They often have direct lines to EDD and can help push your claim through faster. Worth a shot if you're really stuck!

This! 👆 My assemblyman's office helped me resolve an issue that had been pending for months. Definitely give it a try, OP!

Have you checked your spam folder? I know it sounds dumb, but I found my update email there after weeks of waiting!

I heard they're super backlogged rn because of some new policy changes. Might be why it's taking so long.

0 coins

Any idea what the policy changes are? I'm curious if it'll affect my claim too

0 coins

Not sure on the specifics, but I think it has something to do with how they're processing covid-related claims. Don't quote me on that tho lol

0 coins

OP, when did you file your claim? It can take up to 3 weeks for them to even start processing it. The whole system is a joke tbh

0 coins

It's been about a month now. I know they're backed up but this is getting ridiculous

0 coins

A month? Yeah, you definitely need to follow up. That's too long.

0 coins

Hot take: the whole disability system needs a complete overhaul. It's not fit for purpose in 2023. We should be organizing and demanding change!

0 coins

👏👏👏 Preach! But good luck getting anyone in power to care 🙄

100% agree. But how do we even start? It feels so overwhelming
