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. We pay into it our whole lives and then when we need it, we have to jump through a million hoops. 🤡
Preach! 👏👏👏
ikr? its like they WANT us to give up
Have you considered reaching out to a local non-profit that helps with these kinds of issues? They might have some insider knowledge or connections.
That's a great idea, I hadn't thought of that. Do you know of any specific organizations?
It depends on your area, but try googling 'legal aid' or 'workers rights organization' + your city name. Good luck!

Anyone else notice that the PFL system seems to be extra slow lately? Wonder if they're short-staffed or something.
Probably. Seems like every government agency is understaffed these days. 🙄

Have you considered talking to your doctor about this? Sometimes they can help expedite the process by directly communicating with EDD about your change in medical status.

Quick question - are you sure you need to change from PFL to DI? Sometimes people confuse the two. PFL is for bonding with a new child or caring for a family member, while DI is for your own disability. Just want to make sure you're on the right track!
