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 feel like we need a complete overhaul of the unemployment system? This is ridiculous in 2023 💀
Preach! 🙌 It's like they're still using tech from the 90s
Fr tho. My grandma could design a better system than this 😂

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 😡
Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through in like 10 minutes last week doing that.

•What time do they open?
8am i think? double check on there website tho

Hey, I found a way to get someone on the phone quickly. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

•$20 just to talk to someone? That's ridiculous. The system is so broken 🤡
Ashley Adams
•I get it, but when you factor in the time saved and stress avoided, it's worth it for me. To each their own tho!
Here's what you need to do: 1. First, try to recall any possible answers you might have used. Common ones include your mother's maiden name, first pet's name, or the street you grew up on. 2. If that doesn't work, check your email. Sometimes companies send a confirmation email when you set up security questions, and you might have that stored somewhere. 3. Look for any physical notes or digital files where you might have written down the answer. 4. If all else fails, you'll need to contact customer support. Be prepared with: - Your account information - Proof of identity (they might ask for this) - Any other relevant account details 5. When you do get it reset, consider using a password manager in the future. They can store not just passwords, but also answers to security questions. Remember, security questions are becoming less common because of issues like this. Many companies are moving towards two-factor authentication instead, which is generally more secure and user-friendly. Good luck!

•Wow, thanks for the detailed response! This is super helpful. I'll work through these steps and see where I get. Really appreciate it! 💯
Great advice. I'd add: if you do have to create new security questions, try to make them something that's not easily guessable but that you'll remember. Like "What was the name of your least favorite teacher?" instead of "What's your mother's maiden name?

idk if this helps but I've heard some ppl have luck contacting EDD through social media. Like, tweeting at them or messaging on FB. Might be worth a shot if nothing else is working
This actually worked for me once! I tweeted at them and got a DM asking for my info. Problem solved in like 2 days.

Pro tip: if you do manage to get through on the phone, ask them to escalate your claim to a manager. Worked for me!

•This! 💯 The regular reps often can't do much, but managers have more power to push things through
