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!

Be prepared to wait. Like, a loooong time. I once spent 3 hours on hold before I got through. Bring snacks and maybe a good book lol
3 hours?! Jeez, I better clear my schedule for the day then.
Only 3 hours? You got lucky! I've heard of people waiting 6+ hours 😱
I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ
Yep, it's legit. I was skeptical at first too, but it saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo.
$20 just to talk to someone? The system is so broken 🤦♂️

Ugh, I feel your pain. I waited 6 weeks for mine to process. The system is so backed up right now, its ridiculous. Have you tried calling them? Sometimes that can help move things along.
Calling can be helpful, but just be prepared for long wait times. It's best to call at off-peak hours.

Hey, has anyone heard about the new bill they're trying to pass to improve the EDD system? Supposedly it'll make things faster, but idk if I believe it.
Link to the bill info? I wanna read more about this.
A reform could really help, fingers crossed it's effective.

Here's what I've learned after dealing with this for months: 1. Keep copies of EVERYTHING you send them. 2. Use certified mail if you're sending physical documents. 3. Check your online account daily for updates. 4. If you call, be prepared to wait for hours. 5. Be polite but persistent with the reps. 6. If one rep can't help, politely ask to speak with a supervisor. 7. Document every interaction - date, time, who you spoke with. 8. If all else fails, contact your local state representative's office. They can sometimes intervene on your behalf. Hang in there, OP. It's a frustrating process, but you'll get through it eventually!
Wow, thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely start keeping better records of everything.
This should be pinned to the top of the subreddit. So helpful!
Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been in the same boat for weeks now. It's like they have a black hole where all our paperwork goes to die. 🕳️
Guys, lets not be so negative. The system is overwhelmed rn. We gotta be patient
@profile 3 Patient? I've been 'patient' for 3 months now. My landlord isn't gonna accept 'patience' as rent payment 🙄

Have you tried faxing them? I know it sounds like something from the stone age, but I've heard some people have had success with that.

•Incredibly, faxing can sometimes bypass the digital backlog issues. Worth a shot, even if it's old school.

Plot twist: What if EDD is actually run by squirrels and that's why everything's so nuts? 🐿️

•At this point, I'd believe it. Maybe I should try leaving acorns outside their office 😂
