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!

This might sound crazy, but have you tried reaching out on social media? I tweeted at the PFL account and surprisingly got a response. Worth a shot if you're desperate!

OP, make sure you're keeping track of all your expenses while you wait for this to get sorted out. You might be able to claim hardship and get some of the fees waived or expedited processing. Hang in there!

That's a great idea, I hadn't thought of that. Thanks for the tip!

6 months?! That's insane. Have you tried contacting your local rep?

yep, tried everything. feels like im screaming into the void at this point 😭

I heard they're super backed up because of all the fraud cases they're dealing with. Might be why it's taking so long for everyone. Hang in there!

Hot take: PFL is actually not that bad compared to other government programs. At least they're trying to contact you instead of just denying your claim outright. 🤷‍♂️

Lol nah, just someone who's dealt with way worse. Ever tried calling the IRS? 💀

Quick question - how long ago did you submit your claim? I'm still waiting to hear back on mine and getting antsy.

0 coins

I submitted mine about 3 weeks ago. From what I've heard, processing times can vary a lot tho.

This whole system is a joke. They expect us to just wait around with no income while they take their sweet time? 🤬

Preach! 🙌 It's like they forget we have bills to pay.

Pro tip: if you can, try faxing your documents. Sometimes that gets processed faster than online submissions. Weird, I know, but it worked for me!

What year is it, 1995? 😂 But seriously, thanks for the tip!

Just a heads up, I heard they're implementing a new system next month that's supposed to speed things up. Might be worth waiting if you can hold out a bit longer.

Source? I haven't seen anything about this and I've been following the updates pretty closely.

My cousin works in the IT department there. Take it with a grain of salt, but she seemed pretty confident about it.

Anyone else notice that they seem to process claims faster if you have a lawyer? 🤔 Not saying it's right, but...
