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!

how long does it takes a certification to process if it been pending? Finally went through because the lady processed it for me but I didn’t ask when I would receive the payments

Hi Again! As I mentioned above they take generally about 24-72 hours! Hang in there! If you do not see those payments you will need to give them a call just for some clarity. Best of luck:

Hello Kathleen! Please change your profile picture to reflect a self-portrait. The from EDD can take up to 72 hours to on their end. Anything outside of that you definitely should stay on top of this and give them a call back. Best of Luck!

Free calls = do not exist. If you mean calling on the phone plan you pay $99+ a month, then you can manually dial for EDD.

You can call 1-800-300-5616 but it’s difficult to reach.  I would pay for Claimyr service to avoid call headache.  There’s no free call using Claimyr but thankfully, Claimyr offers 10 free calls with a purchase and save $5 for first time user. It’s worth every penny.  I eventually used three times and spoke with multiple specialists. Got my $6k so paying $14.99 seems worthy.

Hi Ginny, thank you for all your help and your videos on this subject. I was curious about the paperwork needed to prove a job that was attained and then lost due to covid. One of the items of eligible paperwork include a letter from the employer. I spoke to my previous employer and he said he would be fine with writing me a letter. The question I have is do you have a video that explains this part of the process in detail? I was thinking the letter should include hiring date, pay, job title and duties, and of course acceptance of the position. Do you think this would be sufficient to fill their requirement? Thank you in advance for your time and help.
