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!

Man, the whole system is broken af. I've been waiting on my benefits for 3 months now. This country is a joke 🤡
Preach 🙌 Its like they want us to give up
Hang in there, friend. We're all in this sinking ship together. 🚢
Quick question - did you receive any notification about why it was rejected? Sometimes they send an email or letter with specific details.
No, I didn't get anything specific. Just a generic 'payment rejected' message. That's why I'm so confused 😕
Oof, that's rough. Definitely try to get someone on the phone then. You need more info to fix this.

Anyone else notice the system seems to crash more often right after they announce new benefits or changes? It's like they can't handle the traffic or something.
Omg yes! Every. Single. Time. You'd think they'd learn by now 🙄
Maybe we should start a betting pool on when the next crash will be lol
Hey OP, what specific error are you getting? Might be able to help troubleshoot if you provide more details.
Thanks for asking! It's not giving a specific error code, just says 'unable to process your request at this time' and to try again later. Super helpful, right? 🙃
Oof, that's a tough one. Sounds like it might be a server issue on their end. Def try the tips others mentioned and maybe give it a day before trying again.

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. Check out this video for more info: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM
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

idk if this helps, but when i applied, i had my doctor fill out the medical certification form SUPER detailed. made the whole process go way smoother.
That's great advice, thank you! I'll make sure to get a really thorough form from the doctor.

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!
