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!

I heard they're implementing a new AI system to process claims faster. Anyone know if thats true?
Source? I haven't seen anything about this in the news.
AI systems can indeed speed up processing, but they need to be properly calibrated to avoid incorrect denials. Let's hope if this is true, it improves efficiency without sacrificing accuracy.
Have you tried calling them? Sometimes you can get more info if you talk to a rep directly.
Calling is a waste of time. I spent hours trying to get through last week. Better off just waiting it out.
Actually, I found a way to get someone on the phone. 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. Here's the link: https://claimyr.com

Anyone else notice that the EDD website is down... again? 🙄 How are we supposed to check our claim status if the site never works?
Classic EDD. Their tech is from like 1995 I swear
Try using incognito mode or clearing your cache. Sometimes that helps me get in.
I'm in the same boat as OP, finally got through yesterday! Here's what worked for me: - Call right at 8:01 AM - If you get the "too many callers" message, hang up and redial immediately - Use the 2511 number and press 1, then 2, then 4 - Have all your info ready (SSN, claim date, last employer, etc.) - Be super nice to the rep, they deal with angry people all day Hope this helps someone else! Don't give up, you'll get through eventually!
What's the full 2511 number? Can you share it?
@profile14 It's 833-978-2511. Good luck!

Hey OP, what time of day were you calling? I've had better luck getting through in the afternoons.
I was calling around noon. Maybe I'll try later in the day next time, thanks for the tip!

idk if this helps, but I had a similar issue last year. Turns out they had my birthdate wrong in the system which flagged my account for review. Might be worth double-checking all your personal info is correct.
Oh wow, I hadn't even thought of that. I'll definitely check. Thanks for the tip!

PRO TIP: Si tienes que enviar documentos por correo, usa correo certificado con acuse de recibo. Así tienes prueba de que lo enviaste y de que lo recibieron. Me ha salvado más de una vez cuando dicen que "nunca recibieron nada".
Alguien más ha tenido problemas con el sistema en línea? Intento subir mis documentos pero sigue dándome error 😤
Todo. El. Tiempo. 🙄 Intenta muy temprano en la mañana o tarde en la noche cuando hay menos tráfico.
A veces ayuda limpiar la caché del navegador o usar otro navegador. El sistema es un desastre pero esos trucos me han funcionado.

To all those having trouble reaching a human at California Unemployment. I just ran across this video that gave me a shortcut to reach a human. Hope it helps! https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI
This is for extension SDI claims. From my understanding when you’re able to log in and try to check your claim and get an error message and you can still see your maximum benefit but unable to see the last payment sent. That means your claim is being worked on. Or if you don’t get the error message and the same scenario the last benefit payment is gone. Your claim is being working on. This happened to me and a few days later my benefits were updated and the funds were sent to my bank account. So if you keep checking and your last benefit payment keeps disappearing and reappearing. Your claim is being worked on the is fluctuating your new income. This is what I was told and this is what happened to me.
Thanks, Sarah! Thanks for letting folks know.

Has anyone here successfully updated their name online? I've heard mixed things about whether it's possible or if you have to mail everything in.

•Last I checked, you couldn't do it online. Had to mail everything in. But that was a year ago, so maybe it's changed?

•Nope, still gotta mail it in. EDD's online system is stuck in the stone age 🦕

Pro tip: If you're mailing in documents, send them via certified mail with return receipt. It's a few bucks extra but gives you proof they received your stuff. Trust me, it's worth it.
