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!

Anyone else think its ridiculous that we have to jump through all these hoops just to get what we're entitled to? The whole system needs an overhaul.

0 coins

Preach! 🙌 It's like they make it difficult on purpose to discourage people from claiming.

0 coins

Totally agree. We pay into this system, it should work for us when we need it.

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes important emails from them end up there. Just a thought!

Quick question - did you receive any kind of confirmation when you first applied? Might help to know where in the process things got held up.

0 coins

Yeah, I got an email saying they received my application. But nothing since then...

Preach! 🙌 We're so behind other countries when it comes to parental leave. It's embarrassing tbh

Totally agree. We need to vote for politicians who prioritize family-friendly policies. This isn't gonna change unless we make our voices heard!

Has anyone here successfully appealed a denied claim? I'm in the same boat as OP but got rejected and idk what to do next...

0 coins

Has anyone had luck with the online chat feature on the PFL website? I've been thinking about trying that instead of calling.

I tried it last week. Waited 2 hours to connect, then got disconnected after 5 minutes. 0/10 would not recommend lol

Actually, I had a decent experience with it! Got through in about 45 mins and the rep was helpful. Maybe I just got lucky tho

0 coins

Quick question - does anyone know if theres a way to check the status of your claim online? Or do we HAVE to call?

0 coins

You can check basic status online, but for detailed info you usually gotta call. It's a pain in the a**
