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!

Anyone else notice that it seems to go faster if you have a corporate job vs. being self-employed or working for a small business? Or is that just my imagination?

Omg yes! I thought I was the only one who noticed this. My partner works for a big tech company and their claim went through in like a week. Meanwhile, I'm over here twiddling my thumbs... 🙄

I don't think its true. I work for a huge company and ive been waiting forever. I think its just random tbh

Hey OP, just a heads up - make sure you're still certifying for benefits while you wait for a response. I made the mistake of not doing that and it caused a whole other headache. Don't be like me! 😅

0 coins

Oh wow, I didn't even think about that. Thanks for the tip! I'll make sure to keep certifying.

Have you tried reaching out on social media? Sometimes tweeting at EDD or posting on their FB page gets a faster response. Worth a shot!

Pro tip: if you're gonna use that claimyr service, do it early in the morning. I got through in like 30 minutes when I called at 8:15am!

I'm starting to think carrier pigeons might be more reliable than the EDD at this point... 🐦

0 coins

Lol, don't give them ideas. Next thing you know, they'll be asking us to send our claims via pigeon post 🤣

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update info there without sending a notification.

I've been checking it daily, but no updates so far. Thanks for the suggestion though!

6 weeks? You're still in for a long wait, buddy. I'm going on 3 months now. This system is beyond broken.

0 coins

3 months?! That's insane. How are people supposed to survive while waiting that long?

Ikr? It's a complete joke. I've had to borrow money from family just to keep afloat.

I'm convinced they're just sitting on a pile of our claims, laughing at us struggling to pay bills. The whole system needs an overhaul.

Preach! 🙌 It's like they forget we're real people with real problems.

Tinfoil hat time: what if they're deliberately slow to save money? 🤔

Has anyone tried going to the local EDD office in person? I've heard mixed things, but I'm getting desperate enough to try anything at this point.

0 coins

I tried last week. Waited 3 hours just to be told they can't help with PFL claims in person. Total waste of time. 😑

Ugh, that sucks. Thanks for saving me a trip tho!
