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.
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.

Quick question - how long after your job ended did you apply for paid family leave? There might be a timing issue affecting your claim.
I applied about 2 weeks after my job ended. Do you think that could be causing the problem?
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.

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 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?
Just something I saw on Twitter. Guess I should've fact-checked before posting 😅

The whole system is broken. I've been dealing with EDD for months and it's a nightmare. Good luck, OP. You're gonna need it. 🤡

Have you considered reaching out to your local state representative? They sometimes have staff dedicated to helping constituents with EDD issues.

•Just google '[your city] state representative'. Most have websites with contact info for constituent services.
