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!

Here's what I've learned after dealing with EDD login issues for months: 1. Try accessing the site using a different browser or device. 2. Make sure your UI Online account hasn't been locked due to too many failed attempts. 3. Check if your BofA EDD debit card is active - sometimes account issues are linked. 4. If all else fails, you'll need to contact EDD directly. To reach EDD: - Call early in the morning (8:00 AM sharp) - Use the phone number ending in 5616 for UI questions - Be prepared with your SSN, claim info, and a list of any error messages you've seen If you still can't get through, consider using the AskEDD feature on their website to submit a question about account access. It's slower, but they usually respond within a few days. Hang in there, OP! The system is frustrating, but persistence pays off.

For real. We're already stressed about being unemployed, and then we gotta deal with this nonsense? Not cool, EDD. Not cool at all.

Here's what I'd recommend: 1. Double-check you're using the correct username. Sometimes it's not your email. 2. Try clearing your browser cache and cookies. 3. Use a different browser or device if possible. 4. Check if your account is locked by trying to reset your password. If it won't let you, it might be locked. 5. Look for any emails from EDD in your inbox AND spam folder. 6. If all else fails, you'll need to contact EDD directly. Use the contact form on their website or try calling early in the morning. Hope this helps! Let us know if you get it figured out.

Here's what I've learned from my experience with family leave payments: • First, make sure all your paperwork is in order. Double-check that you've submitted everything they asked for. • Keep a log of all your interactions with the EDD. Note dates, times, and names of anyone you speak to. • If you haven't received any communication after 2-3 weeks, start following up. • Use multiple contact methods: phone, email, and even snail mail if necessary. • Be persistent but polite. The staff are often overworked and understaffed. • Consider reaching out to your local state representative or assemblymember. They often have liaisons who can help with EDD issues. • Join Facebook groups or forums dedicated to EDD issues. Sometimes you can get good tips there. • If all else fails, consider filing a formal complaint or appeal. Remember, the system is slow and often frustrating, but don't give up! You're entitled to your benefits.

Pro tip: if you cant find your EDDCAN, check your spam folder for emails from EDD. Sometimes their emails end up there and you might find your number in one of those messages.

I used a lawyer for my appeal and won. Most work on contingency, so you only pay if you win. Might be worth looking into.

Be careful with lawyers. Some will take advantage. Make sure to read reviews and get everything in writing before agreeing to anything.

Just a heads up, I've heard EDD is really backed up right now due to all the fraud cases they're dealing with. Might take longer than usual to get this sorted out. Hang in there!
