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'm in the same boat, been trying to file for disability for weeks now. The whole system is a dumpster fire. Solidarity, friend. 😔

anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to keep us in debt forever? 🤔 its like they dont want us to actually pay off our loans

Preach! 🙌 Sometimes I think I'll be paying these loans off until I'm 90

Conspiracy theory: loan servicers are actually run by vampires who feed off our financial stress 🧛‍♂️💸

Hey OP, have you checked out r/studentloans? Theres a ton of helpful info there about dealing with servicers and exploring relief options.

I'm in the same boat. Missed my interview last week and haven't been able to get through since. This whole system is so broken. Anyone know if there's a class action lawsuit we can join?

I haven't heard of any lawsuits, but man, there should be. The amount of stress this causes people is unreal.

Pro tip: if you call and the line is busy, keep hitting redial. Eventually you'll get through to the hold music. Then just settle in for a loooong wait. Bring snacks 🍿

This is the way. I once waited on hold for 4 hours but finally got through. It was mind-numbing but worth it.

Hey OP, what state are you in? The process can vary a lot depending on where you are. Might help to know for more specific advice.

Oh good point, I'm in California. Should've mentioned that in the original post, my bad!

Ah gotcha. Yeah, CA is notoriously bad rn. Have you tried reaching out to your assembly member? I've heard they can sometimes help push things through.

unpopular opinion: maybe try looking for a job instead of waiting for a handout? 🤷‍♂️

Wow, way to be a jerk. You think people aren't trying? It's not that easy in this economy.
