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!

I found a way to get someone on the phone without the crazy wait times. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI
Wait, we have to PAY to talk to someone now? This system is so broken 😡
@profile 10 I get it, it's frustrating. But for me, paying $20 was better than wasting a whole day on hold. Just sharing what worked for me!

Having a second interview scheduled isn't uncommon with EDD, though it can definitely be confusing when you were told a decision would come within 10 days. There are a few possible reasons this is happening: The interviewer might need additional information they didn't collect during the first interview to make a proper determination about your case. Sometimes they need to verify specific details about your termination. EDD could be investigating different aspects of your claim. The first interview might have focused on your separation from work, while this one could be about another eligibility issue entirely. Your employer might have provided information after your interview that EDD needs to discuss with you to ensure they have your side of the story. Since all your weeks are pending, this suggests they're waiting for this interview to resolve before processing payments. For the upcoming interview, I'd recommend: - Prepare any additional documentation about your termination - Review your notes from the first interview - Be ready to answer similar questions with consistent answers You could also try calling EDD directly to ask about the purpose of this second interview, though getting through can be challenging. Checking your UI Online account might show notifications or messages that provide more context.

have u tried turning it off and on again? 😂 jk jk... but seriously, sometimes clearing your browser cache and cookies can help with weird website issues. might be worth a shot?
Haha, if only it were that simple! But I'll give it a try, can't hurt right?
This is why we need a complete overhaul of the unemployment system. It's not just you, OP. Thousands of people are struggling with these issues every day. We need to put pressure on our representatives to fix this broken system!
Preach! 🙌 But good luck getting politicians to care about anything that doesn't line their pockets
Maybe we should start a petition or something? I'm so tired of hearing these horror stories

The whole system is a joke. They make it so hard to get what we're owed. Hang in there, OP. 💪

idk if this helps, but last time I had an issue, I reached out to my state representative's office. They have liaisons who can sometimes cut through the red tape faster than we can on our own.

•This is actually really good advice. I did this once for a different government issue and it worked like a charm!
