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!

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we have to jump thru all these hoops just to get our own money??? 🤬
Preach! 🙌 The whole system needs an overhaul.
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 😅

Just a heads up, they've been really strict about deadlines lately. Make sure you submit everything on time or it could delay your benefits.
has anyone else noticed that the hold music is like... weirdly catchy? or am i just losing it from being on hold so long 🤣
omg yes! I caught myself humming it at the grocery store the other day. I think I'm officially broken 😅
Plot twist: it's actually a form of mind control to make us forget why we called in the first place 👽

have u tried faxing them? I know it sounds old school but I got a response within 48 hours when I did that
Faxing? What year is it? 😂 But hey, if it works, it works. I'll give it a shot!

Hey, just wanted to say hang in there. I lost my job last year and it was tough, but things do get better. Use this time to maybe learn some new skills or explore different career paths. You never know what opportunities might come up!
PSA: Be careful about what info you share online when discussing unemployment. Scammers are everywhere looking to take advantage of people in vulnerable situations. Never give out your SSN or bank info to anyone claiming to be from the unemployment office!
Thanks for the warning! I'll definitely be careful about what I share. Are there any red flags I should watch out for?
Big red flags: anyone asking for payment to 'process' your claim, unsolicited calls/emails claiming to be from unemployment, and requests for personal info through social media. Always verify through official channels!

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

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!

Not to be that guy, but have you checked their website? Sometimes they post system outage updates there. Might save you some time if their whole system is down.
