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!

Have you tried contacting your local state representative? Sometimes they can help push things through or at least give you more info on whats going on with the system.

idk if this helps but I had issues filing online too. Turns out my claim was flagged for identity verification. Had to upload extra docs. Might be worth checking if thats whats holding up your application.

Alguien sabe si hay una opción para aplicar en línea? Sería mucho más fácil que estar tratando de comunicarse por teléfono todo el tiempo.

Miren, entiendo que todos estamos frustrados, pero hay que tener paciencia. El sistema está sobrecargado con tantas solicitudes. Sigan intentando y eventualmente lograrán comunicarse con alguien. Mientras tanto, asegúrense de tener todos sus documentos listos: - Identificación válida - Número de Seguro Social - Información de su último empleo (fechas, razón de desempleo, etc.) - Información bancaria para depósito directo Cuando finalmente logren hablar con alguien, tengan toda esta información a mano. Eso hará que el proceso sea mucho más rápido y eficiente. También pueden intentar contactarlos por correo electrónico o redes sociales. A veces responden más rápido por esos medios. No se rindan, eventualmente lo lograrán!

Pro tip: keep a log of every interaction you have with EDD. Date, time, who you spoke to, what was said. Trust me, it'll come in handy.

Hey guys, I found a method to get someone on the phone when dealing with customer service issues like this. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Check out this video for more info: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

I get the skepticism, but when you're dealing with important issues, sometimes it's worth it to skip the wait. Time is money, ya know? 🤷‍♂️

Here's what I'd recommend: 1. Double-check your PayPal email is correct in your account settings 2. Verify your PayPal account is fully set up and verified 3. Check if there's a minimum payout threshold 4. Look for any pending transactions in your PayPal account 5. Contact their support via email AND social media 6. If all else fails, consider escalating to a supervisor Remember to document all your communication attempts. If it's a significant amount, don't be afraid to be persistent. Good luck!

Some offices are open for limited in-person services. Check the EDD website for locations near you. It's not guaranteed, but worth a shot if you're desperate.
