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!

It could be yes or no until you’ve seen updated with your or notice in the mail. When EDD determines does not require for interview and found it’s eligible to pay out again, interview could be removed (skipped) or when is eligible, edd pays first as conditional and then requests an eligibility later. If Edd makes a mistake, they can reach you out again with rescheduled interview in the letter. If you see your status switched to paid within 24-48 hrs, it means it went through without interview but if it keeps pending, it’s not. So keep certifying every 2 weeks then if no update, best is to contact edd $5 discount link for first time call https://join.claimyr.com/49a083

Hi Janasia When did you apply for your benefit? Usually Edd takes about 3 weeks to process. If it’s been over a month without any letter or update, you should call Edd and speak with tier 2 specialist. $5 discount link for first time call https://join.claimyr.com/49a083

Did you receive DE 1447? If you received it, you should respond within 15 days.  Once Edd determines if you’re eligible for waiver, you will be receiving DE 1446 to see if it can be waived. If you’re waived, edd will send you Notice of Waiver so you’re all good!  If not, you can the decision filling out an form DE1000M Review this for and info. https://edd.ca.gov/Unemployment/Overpayments.htm $5 discount link for first time call (Claimyr calls Edd for you) if you want to speak with Edd tier 2 https://join.claimyr.com/49a083

If you missed a phone interview, I assume you may be and they may send you another letter for rescheduling time and date or you can check it on your portal. There’s also a case that people waited for phone interview but they didn’t receive a call as scheduled. I’ve seen some eligible skipped but they may need to prove a financial hardship such as eviction notice. For missed phone interview today, I would call 1-800-300-5616 and ask tier 1 to transfer tier 2 and explain call was missed it today and to see if it can be done today. Or you can use to call for you and receive call less than an hour today. $5 discount link for first time call https://join.claimyr.com/49a083

The disqualification notice says to mail it to the address on the form but the only address on it is: UI Center Buena Park, P.O. Box 5007, Buena Park, CA 90622. Does this address seems correct to everyone?

Hi, Mary.  You should mail it out to the address on your form you received. There’s an instruction page where to mail out. Edd has also a local (each city) office to review. What I know is local office reviews and collects all appeal letters to transfer HQ (
