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!

They do offer direct deposit tho? You have to set it up on the website.

For real? How did I miss that lol. Thanks for the heads up!

Just a heads up, there was a news article last week about delays in card production due to a supplier issue. Might explain why so many of us are waiting. They said it should be resolved in the next 2-3 weeks.

Link to the article? I must have missed this.

Oh man, I didn't even think of that! 🤦‍♂️ I'll go check right now, thanks!

Unpopular opinion: the whole system is broken af. We shouldn't have to jump through so many hoops just to get the benefits we're entitled to. It's like they WANT us to give up 🙄

0 coins

True, but what can we do? It's not like complaining on reddit is gonna change the system lol

0 coins

Maybe not, but at least we can warn others and share tips to make it slightly less painful 🤷‍♂️

Not to be that guy, but have you double-checked that you submitted everything correctly? I once thought my payment was late, but turns out I messed up some dates on the form. Just a thought!

0 coins

No worries, it's a fair question! I've triple-checked everything and I'm pretty sure it's all correct. But maybe I'll give it another look just in case.

Ugh, I feel ya. I've been on PFL for 2 months now and its been nothing but headaches. Stay strong, we're all in this together! 💪
