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!

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

•I hadn't even thought of that! Do you know how I would go about contacting them?
Zainab Omar
•Just google '[your area] state representative' and you should find their office contact info. Give em a call and explain your situation.

Anyone else notice that this seems to happen a lot in July/August? Wonder if it's related to the fiscal year or something 🤔

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update there before sending payment.
Yeah, I've been checking obsessively. No updates 😞

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of your appointment date, who you saw, and any paperwork you received. 2. Follow up with EDD immediately. Use the online portal if you can't get through by phone. 3. If you don't hear back within 5 business days, escalate to your local assembly member's office. They can often cut through red tape. 4. Check your EDD account daily for any updates or requests for additional information. 5. If you're in dire financial straits, look into local food banks or emergency assistance programs while you wait. Remember, persistence is key. Don't let them forget about you!

•This is gold 💯 Wish I had known this months ago!
I agree with this approach. Documentation is crucial if you want to file a complaint later.

From what I've read about Claimyr, it offers an interesting service that can be a real time-saver for those struggling to get through to EDD. The $20 fee might seem high, but for many, especially those who have spent hours unsuccessfully trying to reach a representative, it could be worth the cost. However, it's important to remember that there's no guarantee of quick resolution once you do get through. EDD procedures can be slow, regardless of how promptly you connect with an agent. As with any service, it's wise to weigh the cost against potential benefits and keep in mind that for some, sticking with traditional methods might still be more feasible. Claimyr is one tool in a toolkit that can help, but patience and persistence often remain the key ingredients for dealing with complex bureaucratic systems like the EDD.

Unpopular opinion: maybe we should privatize the disability insurance system. The government clearly can't handle it efficiently.

•Because private insurance companies are sooo much better at paying claims? 🙄

•Nah, we just need to properly fund and staff the current system. Privatization would just make it worse for most people.
