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!

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

Quick question - did you appeal the workers comp denial? Sometimes that's faster than starting a new disability claim from scratch.
I didn't even know that was an option! How do I go about appealing?
You should've received info about appealing with your denial notice. If not, check the workers comp board website. There's usually a deadline, so act fast!
Hot take: the system is designed to be this difficult on purpose to discourage people from claiming benefits. Change my mind. 🤔
100% agree. It's all about saving money for the state, not helping people.
Idk man, never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence. The govt just sucks at everything lol

Quick question - how long does identity verification usually take? I'm in a similar boat and worried about delays.
It can vary wildly. Mine took about 2 weeks, but I've heard of some taking up to a month. Just keep checking your account for updates.
Took 3 days for me. I think it depends on how busy they are and how complicated your case is.

Ugh, their system is such a mess. I've been dealing with issues for months now. It's like they're stuck in the stone age or something.
Cut them some slack. They're dealing with millions of accounts. It's not easy to manage all that data.
@profile12 found the government worker lol

I've been dealing with this nonsense for 3 months now. Still haven't been able to open my claim properly. Lost out on so much money because of their incompetence. This whole situation is beyond ridiculous.

Maybe try calling from a different phone number? I've heard sometimes they block numbers that call too often, so if you've been trying a lot it might help to use a friend's phone.
Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been trying to get through to EDD for weeks. It's like they're playing hard to get, but we're the ones who need the money! 💸 Anyway, sending good vibes your way. Hope you get it sorted soon!
Thanks for the good vibes! We're all in this struggle together, I guess. How long have you been trying to reach them?
Going on 3 weeks now. It's been a wild ride of emotions, let me tell ya. One minute I'm hopeful, the next I'm ready to throw my phone out the window 😅

Quick question - when you say you got fired, was it for misconduct? That could affect your claim. Make sure you're prepared to explain the situation when you do get through.
No, it wasn't for misconduct. Just a company restructure. But thanks for bringing that up, I'll make sure to explain that clearly.
Good point. Always be honest about the circumstances. They'll find out anyway and lying can really mess up your claim.

Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help push things along with EDD.

This is why we need blockchain technology for government benefits. It would be so much more secure.
