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 😕

Quick question - did you submit any documentation from your employer about your maternity leave end date? That might help streamline the process.
I haven't yet, but that's a great idea. I'll get that from HR asap. Thanks!

Unpopular opinion: sometimes it's faster to just resubmit your claim instead of waiting for them to process the original one. Worked for me! 🤷♂️
Wouldn't that just create more confusion and potentially delay things even more? Seems risky.
It's def a gamble, but when you're desperate, sometimes you gotta roll the dice 🎲

have u tried turning it off and on again? 😂 jk jk. but for real, sometimes the websites for this stuff are so old and buggy. try a different browser or even ur phone if the login still isnt working
Guys I just saw on the news that they're changing some rules about post-employment benefits. Might be worth looking into for OP's situation. Anyone know more about this?
I think that's only for unemployment benefits, not FMLA or family leave stuff. But I could be wrong, the rules change so often it's hard to keep up 🤷♂️

I swear, dealing with EDD is like trying to navigate a maze blindfolded while riding a unicycle. Anyone else feel like theyre living in a kafka novel when dealing with this stuff? 🤡

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
