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!

Pro tip: If you get a rude agent, politely ask to speak with a supervisor. Some of them don't know the updated policies and might give you wrong info.
Facts! I got 3 different answers from 3 different agents last month. The supervisor finally sorted it out.
careful with this tho. i tried it once and the agent got super defensive. ended up making things worse 😬

Anyone else notice that payments seem to come through faster if you file on a Tuesday? Or am I just imagining things? 🤔
Lol, I think you're onto something. My last two payments both came after Tuesday filings. Coincidence? 🤷♂️
Great, now everyone's gonna file on Tuesdays and break the system even more 😂

Here's what worked for me when I had verification issues: 1. Double-check all your info for typos 2. Try uploading your documents again (sometimes the system glitches) 3. If that doesn't work, call and ask for a supervisor 4. Be prepared to provide additional proof of identity (I had to send in a copy of my driver's license) 5. Follow up every few days if you don't hear back It's a pain, but persistence is key. Don't give up!
Thank you so much for the detailed advice! I'll definitely try these steps. Fingers crossed it works 🤞

Here's what I've learned from my experience with submitting documents online: 1. Make sure your document is in PDF format and under 5MB. 2. Clear your browser cache and cookies before trying again. 3. Use Chrome or Firefox - the site doesn't play well with Safari or Edge. 4. If all else fails, try uploading very early in the morning or late at night when traffic is lower. 5. Double-check that you're on the correct page for your specific type of claim. 6. If you still can't submit, take screenshots of the errors you're getting. They can be helpful when you finally reach someone. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
Wow, thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely try these steps.
This is gold! 💯 Mods should pin this comment or something.

Oof, identity theft is the worst. Make sure you change ALL your passwords, especially your email. If someone has access to your email, they can reset passwords for everything else. Use a password manager if you're not already!

•Good call. Any password manager recommendations?

•I use LastPass, but Bitwarden is also good and it's open source if that matters to you.

Has anyone else noticed that EDD's website looks like it was designed in 1995 and never updated? 💀 How are we supposed to trust them with our sensitive info when they can't even update their UI?
