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!

Guys, I work in IT. The EDD system is running on ancient technology. It's a miracle it works at all. Be patient, but definitely follow up.
Emma Swift
•Thanks for the insight. Hopefully, they'll invest in updating those systems soon.
Plot twist: What if the doctor's extension actually caused a delay in processing? Maybe the system is recalculating your benefits.
Huh, I hadn't thought of that. That could explain it. Still frustrating tho.

•It's possible. Administrative changes sometimes take time to reflect in the system.

Here's what you need to do when you call: 1. Have your claim number and personal info ready 2. Tell them about the extension your doctor submitted on July 1 3. Ask if the extension has been processed 4. Find out if they need any additional info from you 5. Get a reference number for the call Good luck! Let us know how it goes.
This is solid advice. I'd add: be super nice to the rep, even if you're frustrated. They're more likely to go the extra mile for you.
Also, try to keep a record of all your correspondence with them. It can be helpful later.

From an authoritative perspective, unresolved unemployment payment issues can be incredibly stressful, especially if you rely on these payments for daily needs. The California EDD system is notorious for its inefficiencies and delays. Claimyr's calling tool is an innovative solution to bypass long wait times on the phone with EDD. They charge a $20 fee, which might seem steep, but for some, the time and frustration saved could be worth it. However, make sure you are careful with personal information when using third-party services. Additionally, keep an eye on the California EDD website and your personal account for any updates or notifications. This may provide insight into whether your extension was processed correctly. Communicate frequently with your doctor’s office to ensure they sent the required documents, as any error on their part could delay your payment. Document all interactions with EDD and consider involving your local representative if the issue persists, as they can sometimes expedite the process. While the system is trying to upgrade, patience and persistence are key in dealing with bureaucracy. Good luck!

Pro tip: if u get someone on the phone, don't hang up until ur issue is 100% resolved. Even if it takes hours. Trust me.
Solid advice. Persistence is key!
Every minute counts when you're on the line.

Has anyone tried reaching out to local news stations? Maybe if we get some media attention, they'll get their act together.
I've seen a few stories on the news about EDD issues, but nothing seems to change 😕

Have you tried calling them? Sometimes you gotta be proactive and get someone on the phone to sort things out.

•Try using speakerphone while you're on hold. That way, you can go about your day and just pick up when they answer.

Anyone else notice how the website always seems to crash right when you need to certify? 🤔 Coincidence? I think not!
