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!

Ive been in the same boat for weeks now. its so stressful not knowing whats going on with your claim. sending good vibes your way, hope we both get answers soon! 🙏
Thanks for the support! It really helps to know I'm not alone in this. Fingers crossed for both of us! 🤞
PRO TIP: When you finally get through to someone, ask them for a direct extension or callback number. Some reps will give you one, and it can save you hours of hold time for future calls.
This!!! 💯 I got a direct number once and it was a game changer. Just be super nice to the rep and they might hook you up.

have u tried faxing them? I know it sounds old school but I've heard it can sometimes get faster responses than calling or emailing.
Faxing? What year is it? 😂 But seriously, I'll try anything at this point. Do you know what number to fax?
lol ikr? But don't knock it till you try it! Here's the fax number I used: 1-855-027-1940. Good luck!

Here's what worked for me after months of waiting: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and online account updates. 2. Be persistent. Call every week if you have to. 3. Use the magic words "financial hardship" when you talk to them. It can sometimes get your claim flagged for expedited processing. 4. If all else fails, contact your state representative or senator. They often have staff dedicated to helping with these issues. 5. Consider filing a formal complaint with the department if it's been an unreasonable amount of time. Hang in there, OP. The system sucks, but don't give up!
Wow, thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely try the "financial hardship" angle. Really appreciate you taking the time to write all this out.
This is gold 💯 Saving this for future reference!

OP, make sure you and your wife didn't accidentally apply for the same type of leave. That can cause delays.

Anyone else notice how the wait times have gotten worse since covid? It's like they never staffed back up 🙄
