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!

Plot twist: what if you donate the extra money to charity? 🤔 Then technically you didn't benefit from it, right? (I'm joking, don't actually do this without consulting a professional

Have you tried logging out and logging back in? Sometimes that fixes weird glitches in the system.

Ugh, I feel for you. I'm in the same boat but with disability. These government systems are held together with duct tape and prayers I swear

anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to make us give up? 🤔 like why does it have to be so complicated

Preach! 🙌 Sometimes I think they make it hard on purpose so fewer people claim benefits

Guys, come on. It's not a conspiracy. It's just a big, complex system. Sure, it could be better, but they're not out to get us.

Ive been dealing with this exact issue for months now. its rediculous how hard they make it to update basic info.

Have you checked if your employer submitted all the necessary paperwork? Sometimes the holdup is on their end and EDD is waiting for info from them.

That's a good point! I'll reach out to HR tomorrow and double-check. Thanks!
