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!

I'm in the same boat, OP. Been trying to sort out my PFL for weeks now. The whole system is a joke. Good luck to both of us! 🚣♂️
Thanks, hope we both get it figured out soon!
Pro tip: if you can't get through online or by phone, try faxing your application. I know it sounds like we're back in the 90s, but sometimes it actually works faster than mail or online submissions.
omg who even has a fax machine anymore? 📠💀
There are online fax services! Welcome to 2023, where we use the internet to pretend it's 1993 lol

Anyone else notice that the PFL website is always "under maintenance" when you actually need to use it? 🙃
omg yes! its like they know exactly when im gonna log in and shut it down just to mess with me 😂

Anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to be as confusing as possible? 🤡 I swear they make it hard on purpose so people just give up.
Preach! 🙌 It's like they're playing 4D chess and we're stuck with checkers lol
Conspiracy theory: they hire ex-DMV employees to design their processes 😂
Here's a comprehensive guide for verifying and potentially extending your PFL benefits: 1. Check your online account for any recent notices or updates 2. Gather all relevant medical documentation, including: - Doctor's certification of your condition - Any treatment plans or therapy schedules - Updated medical evaluations if your condition has changed 3. Review your original claim approval letter for your current end date 4. Prepare a written statement explaining why you need an extension (if applicable) 5. Call the PFL office (use the Claimyr tool if you're having trouble getting through) 6. During the call: - Have your claim number ready - Ask about your current status and remaining days - Inquire about the extension process and eligibility - Take detailed notes of the conversation 7. Follow up with any additional documentation they request 8. If denied, ask about the appeals process Remember, persistence is key. Don't be afraid to call multiple times if you're not getting clear answers. Good luck!
Wow, thank you so much for this detailed guide! This is incredibly helpful. I'll definitely follow these steps.
Saving this comment for future reference. You're a lifesaver! 🙏

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the main line, try calling one of the other departments and ask to be transferred. Sometimes works like a charm!
