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!

Honestly, the whole system is a joke. I've been waiting 6 weeks now and still nothing. California needs to get its act together 🤬

Preach! 👏 It's 2024 and we're still dealing with this nonsense

6 weeks?! That's insane. Have you tried reaching out to your local rep? Sometimes they can help push things along

Anyone else feel like they need a degree in bureaucracy just to navigate this system? 🎓🤦‍♂️

For real! I spend more time trying to figure out their forms than I do job hunting these days.

PSA: If you're having trouble with your claim, try reaching out to your state representative or senator's office. They often have liaisons who can help push things through faster.

This! 👆 My rep's office got my claim unstuck after it had been pending for months. Definitely worth a try!

Quick question - did you upload all the required documents? Sometimes they don't process if something's missing.

0 coins

Yeah, I triple-checked everything before submitting. That's why I'm so confused 😕

Quick question - did you submit your claim online or by mail? I've heard the online system has been glitchy lately.

0 coins

I submitted online. Maybe that's the problem? But then why did the first week go through fine? It's so confusing!

0 coins

Hmm, that is weird. Maybe try submitting a paper claim for the missing week? Cant hurt to try both ways

tldr; PFL is a mess, water is wet. 🤷‍♂️
