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!

Just wanted to say good luck OP! The waiting game sucks but hopefully you'll hear back soon.

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! My PFL claim has been stuck on "pending process" for about 2.5 weeks. It's so nerve-wracking not knowing what's happening. I've been checking my online account obsessively but there's literally no updates or messages asking for additional info. From what I'm reading here, it sounds like this is unfortunately pretty normal? Still doesn't make the waiting any easier though. Really hoping we both hear something soon! 🤞

Pro tip: take screenshots of EVERYTHING during the application process. You never know when you might need to prove you submitted something.

•This!!! 💯 Saved my butt when they claimed they never got my docs
Anyone else feel like they need a law degree just to understand all the parental leave rules? 🤔 I swear I've read the same paragraph 10 times and still don't get it
Sasha Ivanov
•Lol for real. I think they make it confusing on purpose 🤡
Liam Murphy
•Check out r/legaladvice, they sometimes have good explanations for this stuff

Just a heads up, make sure you have all your ducks in a row with documentation. I thought my claim was all good, but then they asked for additional proof of my medical condition 4 weeks in. Set me back another 2 weeks 😑
Yuki Tanaka
Anyone know if theres a way to escalate a claim? Like is there a supervisor we can talk to or something?

•Good luck with that. EDD customer service is like trying to find a unicorn in a haystack 🦄🙄

Here's my comprehensive guide to making the most of your Legoland trip for family bonding: • Plan ahead: Check the park map and make a loose itinerary. This helps avoid decision fatigue and arguments. • Involve kids in planning: Let each family member pick a must-do attraction. This gives everyone something to look forward to. • Take breaks: Schedule downtime for snacks, rest, and casual Lego building. These moments often lead to the best conversations. • Participate together: Don't just watch your kids on rides. Join in! It's more fun when everyone's involved. • Capture memories: Take lots of photos, but also spend time without phones. Maybe buy a small Lego set to build together later as a trip memento. • Stay patient: Lines and crowds can be stressful. Use these moments to play word games or tell stories. • End on a high note: Plan something special for the end of the day, like watching the fireworks together. Remember, the goal is quality time. It's not about doing everything, but about enjoying what you do together. Have fun!
This is gold! 💯 Saving this for our trip next month. Thanks for taking the time to write it all out!
Great tips! I'd add: bring a small first-aid kit. Nothing ruins family time like a blister or headache.

Am I the only one who thinks forced family bonding is cringe? 🙄 Let relationships develop naturally instead of planning "bonding time

•Wow, who hurt you? Some families need to make an effort to spend time together. Nothing wrong with that.
Molly Hansen
•lol chill. just saying it can feel fake sometimes. but whatever works i guess

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! Filed my PFL claim 5 weeks ago and still showing "pending" status. It's so stressful not knowing when the money will come through, especially when you're already dealing with family care responsibilities. I've been checking the online portal obsessively but no updates. Really hoping things move faster for both of us soon! 🤞
