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!

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?

0 coins

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

The whole system is a joke. They're probably sitting on a mountain of backlogged claims laughing at us peasants 🤡

Chill out with the conspiracy theories, dude. The EDD is understaffed and overwhelmed, not out to get you.

Hey OP, what kind of work were you doing before filing? Sometimes certain industries or job types can trigger additional review and slow things down.

Have you tried faxing your application? I know it sounds old school, but sometimes it gets processed faster that way.

Am I the only one who thinks its absolutely insane that we have to jump through all these hoops just to get basic help? The system is broken af 😤

Preach! 🙌 It's like they're trying to discourage people from claiming benefits they're entitled to.

Totally agree. We need to start making some noise about this. Maybe we should organize and contact our representatives en masse?

0 coins

lol watch them pick up immediately when you call to REPAY an overpayment 🙄 Funny how that works

Ain't that the truth! 😂 They sure know how to get your money, but good luck getting what you're owed.
