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!

Plot twist: what if the blank form is actually correct and you didn't receive any unemployment benefits last year? 🤔
Lol, I wish! But nah, I definitely received benefits. Just can't seem to get the paperwork to prove it 😅

Pro tip: if you're having trouble uploading docs on the website, try reducing the file size. I had to compress my PDFs before the system would accept them.

Has anyone else noticed that the online portal is super glitchy? I keep getting error messages when I try to update my info.
OMG yes! I thought it was just me. Try using a different browser, that worked for me.
Pro tip: clear your cache and cookies before logging in. Seems to help with some of the glitches.

Pro tip: If you cant get through on the main line, try calling some of the other departments. Sometimes they can transfer you to the right person. I got lucky with the tech support line once lol
Ooh, sneaky. I like it 😏
Tried this and got chewed out by the person who answered. YMMV I guess 🤷♂️
Anybody else feel like they need a degree in bureaucracy just to navigate this stuff? I swear, dealing with unemployment has been harder than any job I've ever had 🤣🤦♂️
For real tho. I'm thinking of putting 'Professional Hold Music Listener' on my resume at this point
LOL same. My new skills: patience lvl 1000, phone menu navigation expert, and fluent in government jargon 😂

I'm in the same boat. Been trying to update my bank info for weeks. This whole system is so broken, it's ridiculous!
Preach! 🙌 It's like they're stuck in the stone age or something
fr fr... makes you wonder where all our tax dollars are going 🤔
Hey OP, have you tried reaching out to your local assemblymember or state senator? Sometimes their office can help push things through with EDD.
I hadn't thought of that! Great idea, I'll look into it. Thanks!
Can confirm this works. My rep's office got my issue sorted in like 2 days after months of nothing from EDD.

¿Alguien sabe si las penalizaciones de 12 semanas son estándar o varían según el caso? Estoy curioso sobre cómo funciona todo esto.
Por lo que sé, pueden variar. Depende de la razón de la penalización y si es tu primera vez o una reincidencia.

•It's designed to be difficult on purpose. They hope people will give up and not claim what they're owed.

Has anyone else noticed that the payment amounts sometimes vary? Like, I'll get one amount one week and a different amount the next, even though nothing changed on my end. Is that normal?

•Yeah, that happened to me too. Turns out it was because of partial wages from a part-time gig I picked up. Make sure you're reporting any income accurately!

•Could also be taxes. If you didn't opt for withholding, they might take it out randomly. Ask me how I know 😅
