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 think its ridiculous that we have to jump through so many hoops just to get the benefits we're entitled to? the system is clearly designed to make us give up 🤡
Preach! 🙌 It's like they're hoping we'll just get frustrated and go away
Conspiracy theory: maybe that's exactly what they want 👀
Hey OP, what specific error are you getting when you try to reestablish online? Might help to troubleshoot if we know exactly where it's failing.
It just says "System Error" and kicks me back to the home page. Super helpful, right? 🙄
Oof, that's annoying. Definitely sounds like a server-side issue. Not much you can do on your end for that one unfortunately 😕

have u tried faxing them? I know it sounds like were back in 1995 but I actually got a response that way lol
omg what year is it? 🤣 but for real, might have to dust off the old fax machine
This is why we need to overhaul the entire system. It's not just you, it's happening to thousands of people. We should be organizing and demanding change!
Preach! 🙌 But how do we even start? It feels so overwhelming
Start small. Write to your representatives, join local advocacy groups. Every voice counts!

Quick question - did you file for SDI before PFL? Sometimes that can cause issues if not done in the right order.
No, I didn't file for SDI. This is my first time dealing with any of this.
Hmm, then that's probably not the issue. Keep us updated on what you find out!

Here's what you need to know about cancelling callbacks and what to do after your claim is paid: 1. Cancellation policies vary: Some systems allow cancellations, others don't. Check their website or call the main line to inquire. 2. If you can't cancel: Don't stress. When they call, simply explain your situation has been resolved. 3. Post-payment steps: - Double-check all details are correct - Set up direct deposit if you haven't already - Keep all documentation for tax purposes - Stay informed about ongoing claim requirements 4. Future considerations: - You might have questions later, so keeping the callback could be useful - If you're expecting more payments, discuss the schedule with the agent 5. Be prepared: Even if your current issue is resolved, have a list of any potential questions ready. This is a rare chance to speak with a representative directly. Remember, it's always better to have more information than less. Use this opportunity wisely!
This is super helpful, thanks for breaking it down! 🙌
Wish I had this info when I first filed my claim. The system is so confusing 😵💫

I heard they're super backed up because of all the fraud cases they're dealing with. Might be why it's taking so long for legit claims to get processed.

•Yeah, I read about that too. Apparently some big ring got busted last month. We're all paying the price for those scumbags 😡
