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!

Hey, don't lose hope! I was in your shoes last year. It took forever, but I finally got my claim approved. Just keep following up and don't let them forget about you!
Sophia Clark
•It's reassuring to hear success stories. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Welcome to the club, buddy. I filed back in September and still crickets. The system is a joke 🤡
Tell me about it! It's like they have a secret competition to see how long they can keep us waiting.

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. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ
I get it, but when you're desperate for answers, it's a lifesaver. Better than wasting days trying to get through.

•As long as it works, I guess it's worth the money if you're struggling to get paid.

PSA: If ur having trouble with EDD, contact ur local state representative! They can sometimes help speed things up.
Avery Flores
•how do you even find out who ur rep is?
Zoe Gonzalez
•Good idea! Politicians are more likely to act when they hear directly from constituents.

Have you tried tweeting at them? Sometimes public shaming works wonders.
Hmm, that's an idea. I'll give it a shot if nothing else works.
Be careful with that. You don't want to say anything that could jeopardize your claim.
Have you tried faxing your documents? Sometimes that gets their attention faster than calling or emailing.
Faxing? What year is it, 1995? 😂 But seriously, I'll try anything at this point. Thanks for the tip!

•Lol, I know it sounds old school, but it actually worked for me last month!

Anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to make us give up? 🤔 It's like they're hoping we'll just forget about the money we're owed smh
Lily Young
•100% agree. It's a total clown show 🤡
Nah, I think it's just underfunded and overwhelmed. Still sucks tho
Pro tip: if you can't get through on the phone, try reaching out to your local state representative's office. They often have liaisons who can help with EDD issues. Worked for me!
Justin Chang
•This is actually great advice. My cousin did this and got her issue resolved in like 2 days. Definitely worth a shot!
Chloe Martin
Hot take: the whole system is designed to be confusing and difficult on purpose. They hope people will just give up. Don't let them win! 💪

•Preach! 🙌 It's all about saving money for the state, nevermind the people who actually need help.

Hey, former EDD employee here. The backlog is insane right now due to budget cuts and outdated systems. My advice: be polite but firm when you do get through. Ask for a supervisor if the first person can't help. And ALWAYS get a reference number for your call.

•Unfortunately, there's no official 'expedite' process. But if you're facing eviction, make sure to mention that. It can sometimes bump you up the priority list. Also, look into emergency rental assistance programs in your area.
