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 ā 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!

Quick question - did you receive any kind of confirmation when you first applied? I'm about to start this process and want to know what to expect.
Yeah, I got an email confirmation right away. But after that... radio silence š

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.
Mei Wong
ā¢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 š„š»
Yara Khalil
ā¢Potato? You're giving them too much credit. Pretty sure it's just a hamster on a wheel at this point š¹
Keisha Brown
ā¢LOL true. Poor hamster probably needs a vacation. No wonder our claims are taking forever to process š

Has anyone tried faxing their documents instead of mailing them? I heard it might be faster š¤
Chloe Taylor
ā¢Faxing? What year is it, 1995? š
ShadowHunter
ā¢Actually, I did try faxing and it worked pretty well. Got a response within a week.

Here's what I've learned after months of dealing with EDD: ā¢ Best times to call are usually early morning (right when they open) or late afternoon ā¢ Use the online portal to check status and submit any documents ā¢ If you can't get through, try emailing. It's slow, but sometimes works ā¢ Keep detailed records of all your attempts to contact them ā¢ If all else fails, contact your local representative or the EDD ombudsman Hope this helps someone. Stay persistent, y'all. We're all in the same boat here.
Wow, thanks for the detailed advice! This is super helpful. I'll definitely try some of these strategies.
This should be pinned at the top of the subreddit tbh

anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to make us give up? š¤
100% agree. It's a bureaucratic nightmare š”
Paolo Marino
Oof, binding time claims are the WORST. I swear they purposely make it complicated so people give up. Hang in there, OP! šŖ

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

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.

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