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 reaching out to their local representative? I've heard that can sometimes help speed things up.

I did this! It actually helped a lot. My case got resolved within a week after months of nothing.

Which representative did you contact? I'm desperate for any help at this point.

FYI, there's been some changes to the EDD system recently. They're supposedly streamlining the process, but who knows if it'll actually help 🤷‍♀️

Pro tip: if you can, hire a lawyer who specializes in employment law. Yes, it costs money upfront, but they can often get you way more than youd get on your own. Worth it if were talking about multiple years of benefits.

This! 💯 A good lawyer can make all the difference.

OP, whatever you do, don't give up! I fought for almost a year to get my past benefits, but it was worth it in the end. Stay strong! 💪

OP, make sure you've submitted all required documentation. Sometimes they don't tell you if something's missing and just let the claim sit there 🙄

Good point, I'll double-check. But how do I know if everything's there if I can't get hold of anyone? It's like a catch-22 😫

Count me in too. We shouldn't have to jump through hoops to get what we're entitled to.

What year is it, 1995? 😂 But for real, if it works, it works!

Lol, I don't even know where to find a fax machine these days. But I'm desperate enough to try anything at this point!

Just a heads up, I've heard they're super backed up due to a new system update. Might be why everythings taking so long. Doesn't make it any less frustrating tho 😑

0 coins

lol good luck. i've been trying to get my claim sorted for 3 months now. the whole system is a joke 🤡

0 coins

Preach! 🙌 It's like they're purposely making it difficult. Stay strong, we're all in this sinking ship together 🚢

Hey OP, don't lose hope! I know it's frustrating, but keep at it. Make sure you document everything - dates you called, who you spoke to, what they said. It might come in handy if you need to escalate your case. Sending positive vibes your way! ✨
