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!

This whole system is a joke. They expect us to just wait around for months with no income? How are we supposed to survive? 🤬
Preach! 👏 The government needs to get its act together. We're not asking for handouts, just what we're owed!

idk why the government cant get its act together. we're living in 2024 and they still cant figure out how to send forms on time smh
Preach! 🙌 It's like they're stuck in the stone age or somethin
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?

I work in HR and deal with this stuff all the time. Here's what you need to do: 1. Call the PFL office ASAP. The sooner you correct it, the better. 2. Have your claim number, correct start date, and any other relevant info ready. 3. Explain the situation calmly and clearly. It's a common mistake. 4. Ask them to confirm the change verbally, then request written confirmation. 5. Follow up via email or their online portal if they have one. 6. Keep all documentation related to this correction. Don't stress too much. These things happen and they're usually pretty good about fixing them. Just stay on top of it and you should be fine!
Wow, thank you so much for the detailed advice! This is super helpful. I'll follow these steps for sure.

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

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