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!

Unpopular opinion: maybe try going to your local EDD office in person? I know it's a pain, but I got my issue resolved same day when I did this.
Some offices are open for in-person help. Check the EDD website for locations near you. It's not advertised much but it's an option.
This! I did this last month and it was a game changer. Bring all your docs tho, they'll want to see everything.

Have you checked if there are any known system issues or maintenance on the EDD website? Sometimes they have delays due to updates.
Good idea, I'll take a look. Hadn't thought of that!

lol welcome to the wonderful world of government efficiency 🤡 I've been waiting 2 months for my claim to be processed. Good luck!
2 months?! That's insane. Have you tried contacting your local representative? I've heard that can sometimes help.
Nah, I haven't. Might give that a shot tho. At this point, I'm willing to try anything 😅

lmao imagine expecting the government to be competent 🤡 welcome to the circus, we're all clowns here
bruh 💀
this comment is sending me 🤣🤣🤣
Hey, former EDD employee here. This sounds like a case of crossed wires between departments. Here's what I'd recommend: 1. File an appeal anyway, just to be safe. You have 30 days from the date on the denial letter. 2. Call the disability claims line (not the general EDD line) and ask for a 'claim review' based on the conflicting letters. 3. If you sent your docs via regular mail, resend them via certified mail or fax. 4. Check your online account daily for updates. 5. If you don't see movement in a week, start escalating. Good luck!
Thank you so much for this detailed advice! It's really helpful to hear from someone who knows the system from the inside.

Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help push things through faster.

•Just google '[your area] state representative' and you should find their office contact info. Give em a call and explain your situation.
