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!

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.

Quick question - how long after your job ended did you apply for paid family leave? There might be a timing issue affecting your claim.

0 coins

I applied about 2 weeks after my job ended. Do you think that could be causing the problem?

0 coins

It might be. There's usually a waiting period between unemployment and other benefits. Def something to ask about when you get through to someone.

I heard a rumor that they're prioritizing certain industries for faster approval. Anyone know if there's any truth to that?

That sounds like fake news to me. Where did you hear that?

Pro tip: if you're really desperate, reach out to your local congressperson's office. They sometimes have ways to expedite these things.

This actually works! My cousin did this and got approved within a week after waiting for months.

I'm in the same boat, OP. Been trying to register for weeks now. This whole system is a joke. How are we supposed to take care of our families when we can't even access the benefits we're entitled to? 😤

Preach! 🙌 The government needs to get its act together and fix this mess. We shouldn't have to jump through hoops for basic support.

This whole system is a joke. They expect us to just wait around for months with no income? How are we supposed to survive? 🤬

Has anyone tried contacting their local representative? I've heard that can sometimes help move things along.
