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!

Guys, I hate to say it, but sometimes you gotta play hardball. I threatened to file a complaint with the state oversight committee and suddenly my claim started moving. Just sayin' 🤷‍♂️

I used the online portal. Guess that 'faster' processing is relative 😅

Pro tip: if you keep getting errors, try taking screenshots. Sometimes you can use those as proof that you attempted to apply if you need to appeal later. Learned that the hard way 😓

idk if this helps, but I had a similar issue with unemployment benefits. I ended up filing an appeal and eventually got it sorted. Took forever tho 😩

How long did the appeal process take? I'm worried about running out of time...

It took about 6 weeks for me. But that was during peak covid times, so it might be faster now? 🤞

This is why we need a complete overhaul of the system. It's ridiculous that new parents have to jump through so many hoops just to get basic support. 😤

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 🙄

omg yes! It's always when I finally have time to deal with this stuff too. So frustrating!

Conspiracy theory: they do it on purpose to reduce the number of claims filed 👀

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.

This! 👆 I learned this the hard way. Now I have a whole binder dedicated to my EDD saga.
