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!

I'm in the same boat, waiting since early November. This wait is killing me. Bills don't stop just because EDD is slow 😫

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the main line, try calling some of the other departments. Sometimes they can transfer you internally and it's faster than waiting on the main queue.

Ooh, sneaky. I like it. Any specific departments you'd recommend trying?

I've had luck with the general info line and the tech support line. Just be super polite and they're usually willing to help!

Has anyone tried faxing their documents instead of mailing them? I heard it might be faster but idk if that's just an urban legend at this point 🤔

Just a heads up, they recently changed some policies regarding documentation for PFL claims. Make sure you have the most up-to-date forms!

0 coins

ugh srsly? where can we find the new forms?

0 coins

Check the official PFL website. They should have a section for recent updates or form downloads.

anyone else feel like they need a law degree to understand all this stuff? lol

Seriously! I'm pretty sure it's designed to be confusing on purpose 🤔

Quick question - does anyone know if you can apply for this if youre self-employed? Asking for a friend

0 coins

I think you can if you've been paying into the system, but don't quote me on that. Might wanna double check the official website.

Plot twist: what if the PFL office is actually run by sloths? 🦥 That would explain the speed of processing lmao

Nah, sloths would be an improvement. I think it's actually a room full of broken fax machines from 1995.

Have you checked if theres any missing info they need? Sometimes they dont tell you and just let the claim sit there 🤦‍♀️

0 coins

How would I check that? The online portal doesn't show anything

0 coins

You pretty much have to get someone on the phone 😕 That's how I found out they were missing a form from my doctor

Plot twist: what if the EDD is actually run by clowns? 🤡 Would explain a lot tbh
