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 checked your online account? Sometimes they update there before sending payment.
Yeah, I've been checking obsessively. No updates 😞
Ugh, that sucks. Hang in there!
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.

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.

Anyone else notice how the EDD website always seems to be down for maintenance when you actually need to use it? 🙄
Absolutely true. The timing is always so inconvenient, right when you need to access something important.

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.

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!
