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!

Hey OP, quick question - when exactly did you submit the questionnaire? There might be a grace period depending on when it was due.
I think it was about a week after the due date. I completely forgot about it with everything else going on. 😓
Ah, gotcha. Yeah, that might cause some issues. But don't lose hope! Explain the situation when you get through to them. Sometimes they can be understanding if you're honest about what happened.

Unfortunately, mis-calendaring the date wouldn't qualify as an "Administrative Error" since that term typically refers to mistakes made by the EDD or Appeals Board themselves, not scheduling errors by claimants. However, you still have options! California EDD allows appeals to be reopened under "good cause" provisions. While a personal scheduling error isn't automatically considered good cause, you can still request to have your appeal reopened by: 1. Acting quickly - you typically have 20 days from the decision date to request reopening 2. Filing a written request to reopen your appeal (form DE 6317) 3. Clearly explaining your situation and why you missed the hearing 4. Being honest about the scheduling error but emphasizing any factors that contributed to the confusion I recommend: - Contacting the Appeals Board immediately at 1-800-300-5616 - Following up with a written request explaining your situation - Including any documentation that might support your case While there's no guarantee they'll reopen based on a calendaring error alone, the sooner you address this, the better your chances. The Appeals Board does have some discretion in these matters, especially if you're prompt in your follow-up.

I'm curious, what exactly makes you think it might be an eligibility issue? Did you receive any specific communication from them?

•No specific communication, just a gut feeling based on some recent changes in my situation. But you're right, I should probably try to get more clarity on that.
