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!

Has anyone had experience with reporting income from a side hustle? I started an Etsy shop while unemployed and idk how to handle it

I did some doordash while on unemployment. You gotta report your net earnings (after expenses) each week. It's a pain but necessary

Ugh, sounds complicated. Guess I better start keeping better records 📊

PSA: If EDD overpays you because of a mistake on their end, you can file for a waiver to avoid repaying it. Don't let them bully you into paying if it wasn't your fault!

For real? That's good to know. EDD's always trying to get their money back 🙄

Oof, sorry you're dealing with this. Bureaucracy + postpartum recovery is a nasty combo. Sending good vibes your way! ❤️

Thank you! It's definitely not fun juggling all this with a newborn 😅

Am I the only one who thinks this whole system is designed to make us give up? 🤔 It's like they're hoping we'll just forget about it if they ignore us long enough.

0 coins

Preach! 🙌 I've been saying this for months. It's a total clown show 🤡

Nah, I think it's just underfunded and overwhelmed. Still sucks for us tho

Has anyone tried faxing their documents instead of mailing them? I heard it might be faster, but idk if that's just an urban legend at this point lol

0 coins

I actually tried this! It did seem to go through faster, but make sure you keep the fax confirmation. They still managed to 'lose' my docs once 🙄

0 coins

idk if this helps but I heard they just updated their system last month. might be causing delays for everyone. doesn't make it suck any less tho 😑

Anyone else notice that it seems to go in waves? Like, they'll process a bunch of claims all at once and then nothing for weeks? Maybe we're just in a slow period and they'll catch up soon. Trying to stay optimistic here! 🤞

0 coins

You might be onto something. My claim was stuck for ages and then suddenly approved out of nowhere. Hang in there, everyone!

Quick question - has anyone had luck getting through on a specific day of the week? I've heard Wednesdays are less busy but idk if thats just a myth

0 coins

In my experience, it's pretty random. I've gotten through on a Monday and then spent all day Tuesday trying with no luck. It's a crapshoot tbh

OP, about your headphone issues - maybe try using speakerphone? That way you don't have to worry about missing the call if your headphones act up. Just make sure you're somewhere private!
