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!

This whole system is a joke. They expect us to just wait around with no income while they take their sweet time? It's criminal 😡

It's frustrating for sure, but remember the staff are probably overwhelmed too. Doesn't make it right, but it helps to keep perspective.

Quick question - did you get any kind of confirmation when you submitted your doctor's form? I'm about to apply and want to make sure I do everything right.

0 coins

Yeah, I got an email confirmation after I uploaded the form to my account. Make sure you keep that email just in case!

This might sound crazy, but have you tried reaching out on social media? I tweeted at them and got a response within a day. Worth a shot! 🤷‍♀️

idk if this helps, but I was in the same boat last year. turns out there was a glitch in there system that was delaying a bunch of extensions. might be worth asking if theres any known issues rn

Classic government IT 🙄 Always some kind of 'glitch' or 'system error

Ugh, why can't they just get their act together? We're talking about people's livelihoods here!

The whole system is a joke. They expect us to wait weeks or months while bills pile up? Something needs to change. 🤬

Preach! 👏 Maybe if the people running these agencies had to live on our budgets for a while, they'd fix things real quick

Just went thru this myself. What worked for me was going down to the local office in person. Had to wait in line for a couple hours, but at least I got answers. Might be worth a shot if you're able to do that.

Have you tried reaching out on social media? Sometimes tweeting at them or messaging on FB can get a response.

idk if this helps, but I had a similar issue and it turned out they needed some additional medical info from my doctor. Might be worth checking if there's any paperwork they're waiting on?

0 coins

Oh that's a good point! I'll double check all my docs. Thanks for the tip!

Has anyone tried reaching out to their local representative? I've heard some people had luck that way.

This whole system is a joke. We pay taxes for this 'service' and can't even get basic help. smh
