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'm in the same boat, fam. Been waiting since December. This is ridiculous. How are we supposed to survive?

December?! That's insane. I hope you get it sorted out soon. 😔

Anyone know if there's been any changes to PFL processing recently? Seems like a lot of people are having issues lately.

I heard they implemented a new system in January. Might be causing some hiccups.

Classic government efficiency 🙄 Implement new system, cause more problems

have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds like we're back in the 90s, but sometimes it works better than email or snail mail.

0 coins

omg yes! Faxing is like a secret cheat code for dealing with bureaucracy. It's so old school that it actually works 😅

Whatever you do, DON'T close your account! It'll just create more headaches. Trust me, I learned this the hard way. 😩

Honestly, at this point I'm convinced EDD is run by a bunch of hamsters on wheels. Might explain the delays 🐹💨

Hey now, don't insult hamsters like that! They're way more efficient 😂

Have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds like we're back in 1995, but sometimes the old school methods work better with government agencies.

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. 🤷‍♂️

Found the PFL employee 👀

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.

have u tried faxing them? I know it sounds old school but I've heard some ppl have had success that way

0 coins

Lol what year is it, 1995? 🤣

laugh all u want but if it works it works 🤷‍♀️

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.
