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 claims filed in September seem to be taking longer? I wonder if there's a backlog or something.

Now that you mention it, yeah. Maybe end of fiscal year stuff? 🤔

I filed in August and got approved pretty quick. Might be onto something here.

Hot take: what if we all showed up at their office? They can't ignore us then! Who's with me? 😤

Lol, I'm picturing a bunch of sleep-deprived parents with babies storming the PFL office 🤣

As tempting as that sounds, pretty sure that would just make them process claims even slower 😅

Has anyone had any luck with the EDD website? I've heard they updated it recently, but tbh it still seems like a nightmare to navigate 🙄

0 coins

Ugh, don't get me started on that website. It's like they purposely designed it to be as confusing as possible 🤦‍♀️

I actually found it a bit better after the update. Try using the search function - it helped me find the forms I needed way faster.

Just a heads up, there's been a lot of EDD scams going around lately. Make sure you're only giving your info to legit EDD sources. Stay safe out there, folks!

Good looking out! 👀 I got a sketchy text the other day claiming to be EDD. Almost fell for it but thankfully realized it was fake.

Not to freak you out, but watch out for identity theft. There's been a lot of fraud with EDD lately. Make sure when you call that all your info is correct in their system.

0 coins

Oh no, I hadn't even thought of that! Thanks for the heads up. I'll definitely check.

Classic EDD... always something with their systems 🙄

A week or so in EDD time could mean a month lol. But thanks for the update!

Ive been dealing with EDD for 6 months now. My advice? Document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every email. You never know when you'll need that info.

THIS 👆 Cannot stress this enough. EDD lost my paperwork twice and having records saved my butt.

0 coins

Anyone else feel like we need a support group for dealing with EDD? 😅 This stuff is more stressful than my actual job!

0 coins

Lol, for real. EDD Survivors Anonymous, anyone? 🙋‍♀️

0 coins

I'd join that group in a heartbeat 😂

0 coins

Anyone else feel like they designed these forms to be as confusing as possible? 🤔 It's like they WANT us to make mistakes.

0 coins

FOR REAL THO 💯 I swear they do it on purpose to deny more claims

0 coins

Nah, never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence. The system's just old and clunky.

Hey OP, just a heads up - make sure you keep copies of EVERYTHING you submit. I didn't and they "lost" part of my application. Had to start all over again. Don't be like me!
