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 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 😫

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

have you tried threatning legal action? sometimes that lights a fire under there butts
Careful with that approach. It might backfire and make them even less cooperative. 😬

Here's a detailed guide for navigating the EDD system based on my experience: 1. Password Reset: - Try the online 'Forgot Password' option first - If that fails, use the 'Contact Us' form - Last resort: call early in the morning (8 AM sharp) 2. Disability Extension: - Gather all relevant medical documentation - Call and request to speak with a disability claims specialist - Be prepared to fax or upload additional docs 3. General Tips: - Keep a log of all your calls and interactions - Get the name and ID of any rep you speak with - Follow up any phone conversations with an email summary - Check your online account daily for updates Hope this helps! The system is frustrating, but stay persistent. You've got this! 💪
Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to write this out! This is incredibly helpful. I'm definitely going to follow this step-by-step.

•Great advice! One thing to add: if you're faxing docs, always keep the confirmation page. EDD has 'lost' my faxes before 🙄

have u tried faxing ur docs? sounds old school but sometimes it gets to them faster than online uploads lol
Faxing? What year is it? 😂 But seriously, I hadn't thought of that. Do you know if they accept faxes for all types of documents?
lmao ikr? but yeah, they usually do. just call and ask for the fax number. make sure to include ur claim number on every page tho!

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. The waiting game is the worst. Just remember, you're not alone in this struggle. We're all in the same boat, trying to stay afloat. Sending you positive vibes and hoping you get your payment soon! 💖
Thank you so much for the kind words. It really does help to know I'm not alone in this. Wishing you all the best too!

•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?
