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!

Im so tired of this. Been dealing with payment issues since last year. Sometimes I think they hope we'll just give up and go away 😫

Quick question - did you receive any kind of confirmation when you initially filed for those months? Might be worth double-checking that everything was submitted correctly on your end.

0 coins

Yeah, I got confirmation emails for each month. That's why I'm so confused about the delay. Everything seemed to go through fine on my end.

0 coins

Hmm, that is weird. Definitely sounds like it's an issue on their end then. Hope you get it sorted soon!

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!

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the phone, try reaching out via social media. Sometimes their Twitter team is more responsive than the phone lines. Worth a shot! 🤷‍♀️

This! I got a response within a day when I tweeted at them. Way faster than phone or email.

I feel your pain, OP. The waiting game with EDD is the worst. While you're waiting, make sure you're keeping detailed records of your caregiving duties. It might help if they need more info later. Hang in there! 💪

Quick question - are you sure its a PFL extension and not transitioning from SDI to PFL? Those require different forms and its easy to mix them up.

0 coins

Oh, I didn't even think of that! I'll double-check. Thanks for bringing it up!

Protip: Take screenshots of EVERYTHING you submit online. EDD has a habit of 'losing' documents. CYA always!

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

LOL imagine trying to explain that to an EDD rep 🤣

EDD be like: "We don't do that here" 🤡

Anyone else feel like we need a complete overhaul of the whole benefits system? It's 2023 and we're still dealing with these archaic processes smh

Preach! 🙌 It's like they're stuck in the stone age or something
