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 ā 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!

Anyone else feel like they need a degree in bureaucracy just to navigate this system? šš¤¦āāļø
For real! I spend more time trying to figure out their forms than I do job hunting these days.

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!
Wow, thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely start keeping better records and reach out to my rep. Really appreciate it! šÆ

Quick question - did you submit your claim online or by mail? I've heard the online system has been glitchy lately.
I submitted online. Maybe that's the problem? But then why did the first week go through fine? It's so confusing!
Hmm, that is weird. Maybe try submitting a paper claim for the missing week? Cant hurt to try both ways

Here's what I've learned from dealing with EDD for the past year: ā¢ Faxed timesheets usually take 7-10 business days to process ā¢ Online submissions are faster, usually 3-5 business days ā¢ If you haven't heard anything after 2 weeks, definitely follow up ā¢ Keep copies of EVERYTHING you send them ā¢ Try calling first thing in the morning or right before they close for better chances of getting through ā¢ Be prepared for long hold times if you do call ā¢ Check your EDD account online regularly for updates Hope this helps! The waiting game sucks, but hang in there.
Wow, thanks for all the detailed info! This is super helpful š
This should be pinned to the top of the subreddit tbh

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