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!

Here's what I've learned from my experience and research about payment status updates: 1. Check your online account daily. Sometimes updates appear there before you get any notifications. 2. Be patient. Processing times can vary widely depending on your claim type and current workload. 3. Make sure all your information is correct and up-to-date. Any discrepancies can cause delays. 4. If you haven't heard anything after 10 business days, try contacting them. Be prepared for long wait times. 5. Consider using a paid service like Claimyr if you're really struggling to get through on the phone. 6. Keep documenting everything. Save all communications and note down any calls or attempts to contact them. 7. Check if your state has an ombudsman or advocate office for unemployment issues. They can sometimes help push things along. Hope this helps! Hang in there, OP.
Thank you so much for this detailed response! This is really helpful. I'll definitely keep all of this in mind.
Great advice! I'd add: join local unemployment support groups on Facebook. They often have insider tips and can alert you to system issues.

Bruh, I swear they do it on purpose. Keep us poor and desperate 🙄

•Nah, never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence. Their systems are just outdated af

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

•Thanks so much! Yeah, it's been a rollercoaster but we're so happy. Just wish the paperwork side of things was smoother.

Careful with that approach. It might backfire and make them even less cooperative. 😬

I finally got through last week and they told me my claim was denied because of a typo on my application. Now I have to appeal and wait even longer. I'm so done with this BS 😫
Keisha Robinson

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been stuck in EDD limbo for months. It's like they're playing games with our livelihoods. Anyone else feel like the system is designed to be this frustrating?
