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!

Hey OP, what was the exact wording on your denial letter? Sometimes there are clues in the bureaucratic language they use.

That's the thing - I didn't even get a letter! Just a notification on the online portal that my claim was denied. No explanation at all.

Wow, that's even worse. Definitely push for a written explanation. They're required to provide one by law.

Anyone know if theres a difference between state and federal family leave? Im so confused about which one I should be applying for

State is usually handled through EDD, federal is through your employer. But it depends on your situation. Maybe try r/legaladvice?

LPT: Use a call recording app when you finally get through. That way you have proof of what was said in case there are any issues later.

Just make sure you tell them you're recording! In some states it's illegal to record without consent

idk if this helps, but I had a similar issue and it turned out there was a glitch in their system. Keep pushing them to look into it from their end.

Classic. Their 'glitches' always seem to work in their favor, never ours πŸ™„
