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!

Han considerado protestar frente a las oficinas del EDD? Si suficiente gente se une, tal vez los medios presten atención y el EDD se vea obligado a mejorar su servicio. 🤔
Eso suena como una gran idea! Yo me apuntaría. Alguien debería organizar esto en serio.
Nah, las protestas no sirven de nada. El gobierno no nos escucha de todos modos. 🙄
Chicos, sé que es frustrante, pero recuerden que los empleados del EDD también son personas tratando de hacer su trabajo. El sistema está sobrecargado. Un poco de paciencia y amabilidad puede llegar lejos cuando finalmente logres hablar con alguien.
Tienes razón, pero es difícil ser paciente cuando no puedes pagar tus cuentas. 😞
Agree. No es culpa de los trabajadores individuales. El problema es sistémico y necesita una solución a nivel estatal.

pro tip: if u can, try calling right when they open. I got through way faster that way
This! Also, Wednesdays seem to be less busy for some reason 🤷♂️

I heard theres a new bill being proposed to overhaul the entire EDD system. Cant come soon enough tbh
Source? I'll believe it when I see it. Politicians always promise to fix EDD during election season 🙄
Here's an article about it: [link]. But yeah, I'm not holding my breath either

Quick question - did you file online or by mail? I've heard that online applications tend to process faster, but mail might be more reliable if there are any issues with the website.
I filed online. Thought it would be faster, but now I'm not so sure...

Have you considered that maybe there's a new deduction or tax withholding? $45 difference could be some kind of percentage taken out. Double-check your withholding settings on your EDD account.
That's a good point, I'll check that out. But I'm pretty sure I didn't change anything recently.

Has anyone tried updating their address online? Is that even possible or do you HAVE to call?
You can update your address online, but for out-of-state moves they recommend calling. Too many things can go wrong if you just do it online.

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 mins on hold last week. Also, be super nice to the rep, even if youre frustrated. They deal with angry people all day and are more likely to help if youre pleasant.
This! Kill 'em with kindness. Works every time 😊

The whole system is broken af. We need serious reform. Anyone else think its time we start protesting or something?
I'm down. This is getting ridiculous. People are suffering while bureaucrats sit on their hands. 😤
Protesting won't do jack. We need to vote for better leadership.

Has anyone tried applying for PUA instead of regular UI? I heard its easier to get approved for extensions that way.
PUA ended last year, my dude. That ship has sailed 🚢
Aw man, really? Shows how out of the loop I am. Thanks for the info!
Honestly, at this point, I've given up on EDD and started doing gig work. It's not ideal, but at least it's some income while I look for a permanent job. Maybe consider that as a backup plan?
What kind of gig work are you doing? I've been thinking about trying that too.
Mostly Uber Eats and DoorDash. It's flexible and you can start pretty quick. Just be aware of the wear and tear on your car if you go that route.

I'm in the same boat, been waiting for my card for over a month now. This is ridiculous. How are we supposed to pay bills without access to our benefits?
