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!

Speaking to a supervisor might help, but getting to one is like finding a unicorn 🦄 Took me 3 weeks of calling to finally reach someone who could actually help.

Anyone else notice that the EDD website is always "down for maintenance" when you actually need to use it? 🙄

0 coins

omg yes! It's like they know exactly when I'm gonna log in and shut it down just to mess with me 😂

Hey OP, what kind of proof did they ask for? Sometimes they need really specific documents and if it's not exactly what they want, they just let it sit there without telling you.

0 coins

They asked for proof of employment. I sent in my last few pay stubs, but maybe that wasn't enough?

0 coins

Might not be. They sometimes want a letter from your employer or your W2. Def worth calling to check if what you sent meets their requirements.

Quick question - how long ago did you file your claim? If it's recent, you might be able to submit an amendment form without going through the whole call center nightmare.

0 coins

I filed about 3 weeks ago. Is that too late for an amendment?

0 coins

Nah, you should be good. Check their website for the amendment form. Might save you a headache!

Oof, binding time claims are the WORST. I swear they purposely make it complicated so people give up. Hang in there, OP! 💪

Fr fr. The whole system needs an overhaul. It's 2023, why does everything still feel like it's running on Windows 95? 🙄

0 coins

Not to be that guy, but did you check if you submitted everything correctly? I thought I did everything right and it turned out I missed checking one tiny box on page 3. Took me weeks to figure it out.

0 coins

I'm pretty sure I did, but now you've got me paranoid. Gonna triple-check everything tonight!

Pro tip: use the online portal to submit questions. Sometimes they respond faster that way than over the phone. Also, make sure you've uploaded all necessary documents. That can speed things up.

Thanks for the tip! I'll double-check my uploads. Didn't even think about using the portal for questions.

Anyone else notice how the EDD system always seems to crash right when you need it most? It's like they're running it on a potato or something 🥔💻

Potato? You're giving them too much credit. Pretty sure it's just a hamster on a wheel at this point 🐹

0 coins

LOL true. Poor hamster probably needs a vacation. No wonder our claims are taking forever to process 😂
