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!

Preach! 🙌 It's like they're actively trying to make it as difficult as possible.

Fr fr. We pay taxes for this "service" and can't even use it when we need it. SMH

Hey OP, what specifically do you need to contact them about? Might be able to give more targeted advice if we know what kind of claim issue you're dealing with.

Good point! I need to ask about a delay in my payments. It's been 3 weeks since my last one and I'm getting worried.

0 coins

Ah gotcha. Definitely push for that phone call then. Delays usually need a human touch to sort out. Good luck!

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help expedite claims.

0 coins

I hadn't thought of that. How do I find out who my assembly member is?

0 coins

Just google 'find my california assembly member' and you'll get a website where you can enter your address. They usually have a 'contact us' form for constituent services.

Has anyone heard about recent changes to the paid family leave process? I thought they were supposed to be streamlining things, but it seems worse than ever.

I read something about new software being implemented, but who knows if that's actually helping or just causing more problems 🤷‍♂️

My claim was stuck for 3 months! I finally got it resolved by going to my state representative's office. They have liaisons who can cut through the red tape. Might be worth a shot if nothing else works.

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

0 coins

OMG YES! It's like they know exactly when I'm gonna log in and decide to do updates 😤

Pro tip: If you're gonna call EDD, make sure your phone is fully charged and you've got snacks nearby. You're in for a loooong wait.
