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!

THANK YOU! Just tried and got in too! Was able to complete my certification. What a relief!

I've been dealing with similar login issues for the past few days too. What's really frustrating is that EDD doesn't seem to have a reliable way to notify users when these outages happen - I had to find out about the maintenance from this thread! For anyone still having trouble, I've found that using an incognito/private browser window sometimes helps, and also trying the mobile app instead of the website. The app seems to handle the server load a bit better sometimes. Really hope they get their system stability sorted out soon because this happens way too often.

After thinking about this more - I wonder if the issue might be that your check stubs only verified part of the period they're questioning. When they say "November 14th and on" - how far do your check stubs go? If your last day was in December or January, but you only had stubs through mid-December, that might be the gap they're concerned about.

That's a good point! My last check stub was from December 30th, but I worked until January 15th. The final check was given to me in cash because the company was having cash flow problems (probably why they laid me off). I should definitely get a letter clarifying that.

UPDATE: Finally got this resolved! I used that Claimyr service to get through this morning and spoke with a Tier 2 specialist. Turns out my claim WAS under quarterly review - you were right! The specialist said January is when they conduct a lot of these reviews, and mine got flagged because I had some part-time work in October. Once she verified everything, she manually released the payment and said it should be on my Money Network card within 24-48 hours. She also said if I hadn't called, it might have taken another week to clear automatically. Thanks everyone for the help!

Thanks for the update!!! I'm going to try that service too because I'm STILL waiting and getting desperate. Glad you got your money!!!

So glad you got this figured out! This is exactly why I recommended looking into quarterly reviews earlier. It's frustrating that EDD doesn't notify people when their claims are under review - would save everyone a lot of stress and confusion. Your experience will definitely help others who find themselves in the same situation.
