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, former EDD employee here. The backlog is insane rn, but here's a pro tip: if you can prove financial hardship (like eviction notice, past due bills), you can request expedited processing. Make sure to mention you have young kids too. Good luck!

Is there a specific form for requesting expedited processing or do we just ask verbally?

0 coins

No specific form, just ask verbally and be ready to provide details/documentation if they request it.

tldr: the system sucks, were all suffering, and theres no easy fix. welcome to the club 😭

Hey, not sure if this helps, but I had a similar issue last month. Turns out there was a glitch in their system affecting people who filed in July. Might be worth mentioning that specifically when you talk to them.

0 coins

Oh really? That's good to know. Did they fix it for you?

0 coins

Yeah, eventually. Took about 2 weeks after I finally got through to someone. Keep at it!

unpopular opinion: maybe we should all just get jobs instead of relying on the government 🤷‍♂️

Read the room, dude. Not helpful.

Has anyone else noticed that their claim status changes randomly? Mine went from 'paid' to 'pending' and back again without me doing anything. EDD's system seems buggier than a summer campground.

0 coins

YES! Thought I was going crazy. It's like playing unemployment roulette.

Pro tip: If you do get through, ask them to put notes on your account about the call. It helps if you need to follow up later and proves you've been trying to resolve the issue.

Anybody else notice that EDD seems to work faster when Mercury isn't in retrograde? 👀

Maybe we should all start doing EDD dances under the full moon to speed up our claims 💃🌕

Hey OP, what industry did you work in? Some sectors are facing extra scrutiny right now.

0 coins

I was in hospitality. Didn't realize that could affect processing time.

0 coins

Yep, hospitality claims are getting a lot of attention due to all the covid-related layoffs. Might explain the delay.

This might sound weird, but check your spam folder. I once had an important EDD notice end up there. Also, make sure your address is up to date in their system.

0 coins

OP, any updates? Did you manage to get through to anyone or figure out what's going on with your payment?

0 coins

Not yet, but I'm going to try calling tomorrow morning. If that doesn't work, I might try that claimyr service someone mentioned.

0 coins

Good luck! Let us know how it goes.
