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 contacting their state representative for help? I've heard they can sometimes intervene if you're having issues with state agencies.

How do you even find out who your state rep is? 🤔

0 coins

Just Google '[your state] find my representative' - there's usually a website where you can enter your address and it'll tell you who represents you.

Have you checked if there were any recent changes to PFL policies? Sometimes they update stuff and don't tell anyone 🙄

0 coins

I haven't! That's a good point. Do you know where I could find info on recent updates?

0 coins

Try checking the official PFL website or their social media pages. They sometimes post updates there.

oof, PFL claims are the worst. I swear the system is designed to make us give up. Hang in there, OP!

I did this for my unemployment claim last year and it actually worked! Might be worth a shot for PFL too.

This might sound crazy, but have you tried reaching out to EDD on social media? I tweeted at them and surprisingly got a response pretty quick. Worth a shot! 🤷‍♂️

Ugh, I feel ya. The whole system needs an overhaul. We shouldn't have to jump through hoops to get the benefits we're entitled to. Hang in there, OP!

Anyone else think its crazy that we have to jump through so many hoops just to get what we're entitled to? The system is rigged against us, I swear.

Preach! 🙌 It's like they make it difficult on purpose.

Tin foil hat time: what if they do it to discourage people from claiming benefits? 🤔
