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 โ€“ 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, former EDD employee here. The identity verification issue is pretty common. Make sure you're using the EXACT name that's on your social security card. Even small differences can cause problems. Also, double-check that you entered your SSN correctly on the application. One wrong digit can mess everything up.

Thank you for the insider info! I'll double-check everything. Quick question - if I find a mistake, can I correct it online or do I have to call?

Unfortunately, most corrections need to be done over the phone. But knowing exactly what needs to be fixed can make the call go much smoother.

Pro tip: if you cant get thru on the main line, try calling right when they open. I got thru in like 10 mins doing that

Hey OP, just a heads up - make sure you have a good reason for changing your return date. They might ask for documentation or proof. Better to be prepared!

Quick question - do PFL claims typically take longer to process than regular unemployment? This is my first time dealing with this and I'm lost af

In my experience, PFL claims can be a bit more complex. They often require more documentation, which can slow things down. Hang in there!
