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!

Anyone else feel like they need a degree in bureaucracy just to navigate this system? I swear, dealing with EDD is harder than my actual job 🤣

Here's a detailed breakdown of what you need to do: 1. Gather all your pre-military employment documents: - W-2 forms - Pay stubs (especially ones that show SDI deductions) - Tax returns 2. Collect your military service documents: - DD-214 - Any other discharge papers 3. Write a clear, concise letter explaining your situation and why you're submitting these documents. 4. Make copies of EVERYTHING. Never send originals. 5. If submitting online: - Scan all documents at high quality (300 DPI minimum) - Save as PDFs with clear file names - Check file size limits on the submission portal 6. If mailing: - Use a trackable shipping method - Include a self-addressed, stamped envelope if you want confirmation 7. Follow up within 2 weeks if you don't hear back. Remember, persistence is key. Don't be afraid to call multiple times or escalate if needed. Good luck!
Wow, this is super helpful! Thanks for taking the time to write all this out. I'm feeling a bit less overwhelmed now.

I'm in the same boat. Been waiting for 6 weeks now. This whole system is a joke. They expect us to live on air while they take their sweet time?
Preach! 👏 The government doesn't care about us little people.
Have you guys tried contacting your local representatives? Sometimes they can help speed things up.

pro tip: if you can, try calling right when they open. I always have better luck getting through early in the morning

Hey OP, hang in there. I know it's tough, but it will get sorted eventually. In the meantime, have you looked into any temporary work or gig jobs? Might help tide you over until this gets resolved.
