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!

Pro tip: if you can, try to find out the name of the person handling your claim. Makes follow-up calls way easier.
Anyone else notice how they always seem to 'lose' documents? Make copies of EVERYTHING you send them. Trust me on this one.
omg yes! i had to send my birth certificate THREE TIMES. like, how do you lose that?!
Seriously! I started taking pictures of the envelopes before I mail them now. Paranoid? Maybe. But it's saved my butt more than once.

Here's what worked for me when I had this issue: 1. Double-check the email address on file with EDD. Make sure it's correct and you have access to it. 2. Check all email folders, including spam/junk. 3. If that doesn't work, try to reset your password through the website. 4. If you still don't receive an email, call EDD customer service. 5. Be prepared with your personal info (SSN, address, etc.) when you call. 6. Ask them to verify your email address and resend the password reset link. 7. If all else fails, ask if there's an alternative way to reset your account or if you can create a new one. Hope this helps! The system can be a pain, but don't give up. You'll get it sorted eventually.
Thank you so much for the detailed steps! I'll give these a try and report back.
This is great advice. Saving this for future reference!

I'm convinced they're deliberately slowing things down to discourage people from claiming. It's all a big scam 😡
Take off the tinfoil hat, bro. It's just bureaucracy being bureaucracy. Still sucks tho
Wake up, sheeple! 🐑 The system is rigged against us!

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the main line, try calling one of the other departments and ask to be transferred. Sometimes works!

I'm convinced they're purposely making it difficult to discourage people from claiming benefits. It's all a conspiracy, man! 🕵️♂️
