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!

Here's what worked for me: 1. Gather all your account info, including any past correspondence 2. Call first thing in the morning (like 5 minutes before they open) 3. If you can't get through, try the online chat feature on their website 4. Be persistent! Sometimes it takes a few tries 5. If all else fails, contact your local representative's office. They can sometimes intervene on your behalf. Good luck! The system is a mess, but don't give up. You'll get it sorted eventually.

I'm in the same boat. Been trying to upload my resume for weeks. This system is held together with duct tape and prayers I swear.

Have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds old school, but sometimes that gets faster results than uploading online. Just a thought!

Has anyone had any luck with the online portal? I've been trying to update my info there, but it keeps glitching out on me.

The online portal is a joke. I swear it was designed by monkeys 🐒

Try clearing your cache and cookies. Worked for me when I was having issues.

I'm starting to think we should all just show up at their office in person. Maybe then they'd have to deal with us!

Has anyone tried reaching out to EDD on social media? Sometimes companies are more responsive there cuz it's public.
