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!

Not to freak you out, but I'd double check that you actually applied through the right channel. I thought I had applied but turns out I had used some third-party site that looked official but wasn't 😱

idk if this helps, but I had a similar issue and it turned out there was a glitch in their system. When I finally got through to someone, they had to manually push my application through. might be worth asking about that when you call.

Oh wow, I hadn't even considered that possibility. I'll definitely ask about it, thanks!

Totally agree. We need to push for reform. This isn't working for anyone.

Quick question - did you transition from SDI to PFL? Sometimes that transition can cause delays. Make sure both claims are properly linked in the system.

No, I went straight to PFL. But thanks for the tip, I'll keep that in mind if I ever need to do both!

Guys, I found a method that actually works to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works.

How long did you have to wait after using the service?

Only about 30 mins! Way better than the 3+ hours I spent trying to get through on my own

Protip: if you have a complex issue, try to get it resolved BEFORE you actually need to go on leave. I learned this the hard way πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ
