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!

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?

Anyone else notice how these issues always seem to happen right when you need the money most? It's like they know 👀

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Write down all the mistakes you made and the correct information. 2. Try to submit corrections online if possible. 3. If online doesn't work, you HAVE to call. Keep trying until you get through. 4. Be polite but firm with the rep. Explain your situation clearly. 5. Ask if there's any way to expedite the payment due to financial hardship. 6. If they can't help, ask to speak with a supervisor. 7. Keep a record of who you talked to and when. 8. Follow up regularly until it's resolved. Unfortunately, there's no guaranteed way to speed up the payment, but fixing the errors ASAP is crucial. Good luck!
Wow, thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely follow these steps.
This is solid advice. I'd add: if you're really in a bind, reach out to local charities or churches. Some offer emergency assistance.

Anyone else notice that their system always seems to 'update' right when you need to certify? It's like clockwork. They need to hire some better IT people or something smh

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.
