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, just a heads up - even if you don't have the form, you still need to report the income. You can use your bank statements to estimate the amount received. Better to overestimate slightly than underreport. You can always file an amended return later if needed.

Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely keep that in mind. Better safe than sorry with the IRS, right?

Has anyone had luck with the online portal? I've been trying to check my claim status there but it never seems to update.

LOL good luck with that. That thing is about as useful as a chocolate teapot. 🍫☕

I've had some success with it, but you gotta check it like every hour. It's super inconsistent.

Quick question - how long did it take for your claim to be processed once you got through? I'm trying to plan my finances and idk how long I'll be waiting.

0 coins

It took about 2 weeks for me, but I've heard it can take up to a month sometimes. Don't count on it being quick, that's for sure.

Mine took 3 weeks, but my friend got hers in 10 days. I think it depends on how complicated your case is and how backed up they are.

lol good luck. i've been trying to get my pfl sorted for 3 months now. feels like im talking to a brick wall everytime i call 🧱🤡

Has anyone had experience with extending their PFL? I'm worried I might need more time than I initially thought...

0 coins

I extended mine last year. You need to file a new claim before your current one ends. Call them ASAP to get the process started!

Oh man, thanks for the heads up! I'll get on that right away. You're a lifesaver! 🙏

Not to be that guy, but are you sure you submitted it correctly? Double-check that you didn't miss any required fields or approvals. I've seen people wait weeks only to realize they forgot to hit 'submit' at the end 🤦‍♂️

0 coins

Ugh, you're right. I just checked and I think I might have forgotten to click the final submit button. I feel so dumb right now. Thanks for the reality check!

Plot twist: what if the timesheet processor is on vacation and no one's covering for them? 🕵️‍♀️ Happened at my last job. Chaos ensued.

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the main line, try calling your local office directly. Sometimes they're easier to reach

I swear, dealing with unemployment is a full-time job itself 🤣 Good luck, OP!
