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!

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?

0 coins

lol ikr? But don't knock it till you try it! Here's the fax number I used: 1-855-027-1940. Good luck!

Just a heads up, I heard they're extra backed up right now cuz of some new system update. Might be why everythings taking forever. 🐌

have u tried faxing ur docs? I know it sounds old school but I heard it can be faster than mail or online submission

Just a heads up, they recently changed some policies about processing times. Might be worth checking if that's affecting your claim.

0 coins

Do you have a link to info about the new policies? I can't find anything on their website 🤔

Sure, here you go: [link to policy changes]. Hope this helps!

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.

0 coins

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

0 coins

Preach! 🙌 It's like they make it difficult on purpose or something.

0 coins

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.

0 coins

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! 😤

0 coins

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!

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes their emails end up there. Also, make sure you're logging into the online portal regularly for updates.

Good call on the spam folder, I'll double-check. And yeah, I've been obsessively refreshing the portal but no changes so far.
