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!

Anyone else notice that the EDD website is always "down for maintenance" when you actually need to use it? 🙄 It's like they're stuck in 1995 or something.
LOL truth! I swear they're running it on a Commodore 64 in someone's basement 😂
For real tho, how hard is it to build a website that actually works? My kid could probably do a better job with his Legos 🧱

Has anyone tried reaching out on social media? I've heard some people have had luck getting responses from EDD on Twitter. Might be worth a shot!
Idk if this helps, but I had a similar issue and it turned out there was a glitch in their system. My claim was stuck in limbo. I had to file an appeal to get it sorted. It's a pain, but might be worth looking into if nothing else works.
Oh wow, I didn't know that was even possible. How long did the appeal process take?
It took about 3 weeks for me, but I've heard it can vary. Still faster than waiting for them to figure it out on their own tho

Hey OP, how long ago did you submit your paperwork? I've heard they're really backed up right now due to all the claims from the pandemic.
It's been about 6 weeks now. I know they're swamped, but it's getting really tough to manage without the payment.
Oof, that's rough. Hang in there. Have you considered applying for any emergency assistance programs in the meantime?
Pro tip: if you fax your documents instead of mailing them, it can speed up the process. I know it sounds like we're back in the 90s, but it worked for me!
Wait, fax machines still exist? 😂 But seriously, good to know!
Can confirm. Faxing is like a secret backdoor to the EDD. It's wild that it works, but it does!

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!

•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.
