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!

LPT: If you cant get through on the main line, try calling one of the other departments and ask to be transferred. Sometimes works for me!
Ooh, sneaky. I like it 😏 Which department do you usually try?
I've had luck with the general information line or even the employer line. Just play dumb if they ask why youre calling that number lol
guys. i literaly just got off the phone with EDD after trying for DAYS. heres what i did: 1. called exactly at 8:00:00 AM 2. chose spanish option (even tho i dont speak it) 3. got transfered to english speaking rep almost immediately 4. asked nicely for computation letter hope this helps someone!!!
Isn't that kinda unethical tho? Taking up a Spanish-speaking line when you don't need it?
desperate times call for desperate measures my friend 🤷♂️

Here's what worked for me: 1. Log into your EDD account 2. Go to 'Contact Us' section 3. Select 'Email Verification' as the reason for contact 4. Explain your issue in detail 5. Submit and wait for a response (usually within 5-7 business days) If that doesn't work, try calling the technical support line at 1-855-327-7057. They're sometimes easier to reach than the main line. Hope this helps!
Wow, thank you so much for the detailed steps! I'll definitely give this a try. 🙏
This is gold 💯 Saving this for future reference!

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 🤷♂️

lol welcome to the wonderful world of EDD 🎪🤡 where everything's made up and the processing times don't matter
🤣🤣🤣 For real tho. It's like they're running this whole operation on a Commodore 64 or something

has anyone else noticed that the edd website is always "undergoing maintenance" when you actually need to use it? its like they're trolling us at this point 🤡

I'm starting to think the "IT issues" are just their go-to excuse when they don't know what's going on. Like, how long does it take to fix a computer problem? 🤔

•For real tho. My cousin works in IT and says most issues can be fixed pretty quick. EDD's just using it as a scapegoat imo
