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 you tried sacrificing a goat to the EDD gods? I hear that helps speed up the process. πŸ˜‚

Instructions unclear. Sacrificed my last paycheck instead. Still no results. 😭

Here's what worked for me: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and account updates. 2. Reach out to your local state representative. They often have liaisons who can help push things along. 3. Be persistent but polite when you do get through to someone. 4. Check for any missing documents or information they might need from you. 5. Consider filing an appeal if it's been an unreasonable amount of time. Hang in there, OP. It's a frustrating process, but you'll get through it!

Have you checked if there's an issue with your identity verification? That held up my claim for weeks until I figured it out.

I didn't even think of that! How did you resolve it?

I had to upload additional documents through the UI Online portal. It was a pain, but once I did that, things started moving again.

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