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

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

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

Has anyone tried faxing their documents? I know it sounds old school, but I've heard it can sometimes get faster results than calling or emailing.

Faxing? What year is it, 1995? πŸ˜‚

Hey, don't knock it till you've tried it! Sometimes the old ways work best with these outdated systems.

Not to be that guy, but did you make sure you filled out everything correctly? I had to resubmit twice because I missed a tiny detail on the form πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

Yeah, I triple-checked everything before submitting. Pretty sure it's all correct, but who knows with these forms πŸ˜…

Unpopular opinion: maybe we should all just camp outside their office until they process our claims. Who's with me? β›ΊοΈβœŠ

Has anyone else noticed that the EDD website is down like every other weekend for "scheduled maintenance"? It's almost like they don't want us to file our claims πŸ™„

Conspiracy theory: they do it on purpose to reduce the number of claims filed πŸ‘€

Guys, I've been dealing with EDD for 6 months now. Here's my advice: document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every online interaction. It's saved my butt multiple times when they tried to say I didn't do something I know I did.

LOL for real tho. It's like they know exactly when I'm gonna log in and decide to do updates πŸ˜‚

Conspiracy theory: the website is never actually under maintenance. They just put that up when too many people are trying to access it at once. πŸ€”

Huh, that's surprising. You'd think healthcare workers would be prioritized. The system makes no sense sometimes.
