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 contacting the media about these ongoing issues? Maybe if there was more public pressure, they'd finally fix their broken system.
Quick question - when you say 'super users', do you mean like IT people or just higher-level reps? Trying to figure out who exactly I should be asking for when I call.
From what I understand, they're specialized reps with more system access. But tbh, I'm not 100% sure. The regular reps just keep saying they don't have the 'tools' to fix it. 🤷♂️
Gotcha, thanks for clarifying. Guess I'll just keep asking to escalate until I hit the right person. This is such a headache 😩

am i the only 1 who thinks its crazy we gotta jump through all these hoops just to get our benefits? the whole system needs an overhaul smh
Preach! 🙌 It's like they make it difficult on purpose or something.
For real tho. We pay into this system our whole working lives and then when we need it, it's a nightmare to access. Something's gotta change.
Has anyone had any luck with the callback feature on their website? I requested one last week but still haven't heard anything back.
I tried it twice. First time they never called. Second time they called while I was in the shower and didn't leave a voicemail or number to call back. So frustrating! 😤
It worked for me, but I had to wait almost two weeks. When they finally called, the rep was super helpful tho. Hang in there!

anyone else notice how the wait times seem to get longer every year? its like they're purposely understaffed or something smh
Preach! 🙌 I swear they're trying to discourage us from using our benefits. Stay strong and keep fighting the good fight!
Pro tip: if u cant get thru on the main line, try calling one of the foreign language lines and ask to be transfered to an english speaking agent. sometimes works!
Isn't that kinda unethical tho? What if someone who actually needs that line can't get through bc we're clogging it up?
I mean, desperate times call for desperate measures. The whole system is broken anyway 🤷♂️

Have you considered reaching out to your employer? Sometimes they can help push things along, especially if it's a larger company with dedicated HR staff.

•That's a good idea, I hadn't thought of that. I'll give my HR department a call tomorrow. Thanks!
