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!

Hey OP, have you considered legal action? If enough of us are having the same issue, we might have a case for a class action lawsuit.

Woah, slow down there. Let's not go nuclear just yet. Legal stuff can get messy and expensive real quick.

True, but sometimes it's the only way to get these big companies to listen. Just food for thought.

Hey OP, quick question - when exactly did you submit the additional docs? And what type of documents were they? Sometimes certain types take longer to process.

I submitted them about 10 days ago. It was mostly medical certification stuff from my doctor. Does that usually take longer?

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, medical docs can take a bit longer cuz they often need to be reviewed by their medical team. Hang in there!

Hot take: learn the system and play it smart. I always submit more docs than necessary and follow up aggressively. Haven't had an issue in years. You gotta advocate for yourself in this mess.

I'm telling you, the real solution is to camp outside their office. Bring a tent, some snacks, and don't leave until they help you. Who's with me? β›ΊοΈπŸ•οΈ

Guys, I just got through after trying for weeks! Here's what worked for me: 1. Call at 2:55 PM 2. Press 1 for English 3. Then 1 for claim questions 4. Then 2 for existing claims 5. Then 4 for general questions I was on hold for about an hour, but I finally spoke to someone. Hope this helps!

Wait, 2:55 PM? Doesn't the office close at 3? How does that work?

They stop taking new calls at 3, but if you're already in the queue they'll still help you. That's why calling right before closing sometimes works better!

Most offices are still closed or appointment-only due to covid. Check their website first!

Anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to make us give up? It's like they're hoping we'll just go away if they ignore us long enough.

100% agree. It's a war of attrition and they're winning 😑

pro tip: if u get through to someone who cant help, ask them to transfer u instead of hanging up. sometimes u can bypass the wait that way
