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

0 coins

Faxing? What year is it, 1995? 😂

0 coins

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 Sometimes the old ways work best with these outdated systems.

Just a heads up, there was a news article last week saying EDD is experiencing major backlogs due to staff shortages. Might explain the delays everyone's experiencing.

0 coins

Great, just what we needed 🙄 Any idea when they expect to catch up?

0 coins

The article didn't say, unfortunately. But they're supposedly hiring more staff.

That's a dangerous game youre playing. What if they need more info from you?

0 coins

meh, not worth the stress. if they need me, they can find me

Has anyone else noticed that the online status doesn't always match what they tell you on the phone? I'm so confused about whats actually going on with my claim.

0 coins

YES! I thought I was going crazy. The website said my claim was approved, but when I finally got through on the phone, they said it was still pending. Make it make sense! 🤯

0 coins

have u tried faxing ur docs? I heard that can be faster then mailing

0 coins

I didn't even know faxing was still a thing lol. But I'll look into it, thanks!

This might sound crazy, but has anyone tried going to an EDD office in person? I'm thinking of driving to one tomorrow cuz I'm so fed up with the phone system.

0 coins

I tried that last month. Waited in line for 3 hours only to be told they couldn't help with PFL claims in person. Total waste of time 😤

0 coins

Oof, thanks for the heads up. Guess I'll scratch that plan 😅

0 coins

Anyone else notice that the EDD website is always "undergoing maintenance" when you actually need to use it? 🙄

0 coins

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

0 coins

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. 🤔

Hey OP, what industry do you work in? I've heard some industries are getting processed faster than others.

0 coins

I work in healthcare. I thought that might speed things up, but apparently not. 🤷‍♂️

0 coins

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