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!

idk if this helps, but I had luck emailing them. took a few days to get a response, but at least I didnt have to deal with phone trees
Do you have the email address? I couldn't find one on their website.
Sure, it's pfl@edd.ca.gov. Hope it helps!
This is why I'm scared to even apply for PFL. The system seems so broken. Anyone have any positive experiences to share?
I actually had a pretty smooth experience! Just make sure you triple-check everything before submitting.
It's hit or miss. My first claim was a nightmare, but the second one went through without a hitch. 🤷♂️

Pro tip: if you're having trouble getting through on the phone, try reaching out on Twitter. Sometimes their social media team can help or at least escalate your issue.
This actually worked for me! Got a DM from them within an hour. Thanks for the tip!

Have you tried reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can help push things along with government agencies.

Has anyone tried faxing their documents? I know it sounds old school, but I've heard it can be faster than mail or email sometimes.

•Omg yes! Faxing worked for me when nothing else did. It's like they're stuck in the 90s or something 🤣

Guys, I think there might be a glitch in their system. I've heard from multiple people that claims filed in the last month are getting stuck. Might be worth mentioning if you get through to someone.
