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!

Preach! 🙌 It's like they're stuck in the stone age or something.

ikr? in 2023 you'd think they'd have a better way to handle this stuff

Quick question - did you recently change your number? Sometimes these letters are generated weeks in advance, so if you changed your number recently, that might explain the mixup.

0 coins

Nope, same number for years. No idea how they got it wrong 🤷‍♀️

I'm telling you, the whole system is rigged against us. They make it so complicated on purpose so people just give up. 🤬

Calm down, Alex Jones. It's not a conspiracy, just good old-fashioned bureaucratic incompetence. 🙄

Whatever, sheep. Keep believing what they tell you. 🐑

Hey OP, just a heads up - when I updated my claim for reduced hours, it took about 3 weeks for the changes to take effect. So don't panic if you don't see an immediate change in your benefits.

0 coins

That's really good to know, thanks! Did they backpay you for those 3 weeks?

0 coins

Yep, they did backpay. Just make sure you keep certifying every week like normal.

0 coins

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they post more detailed info there about disqualification reasons.

Whatever you do, DON'T give up. I almost did and then finally got through and turns out it was all a big misunderstanding. Keep pushing!

Thanks for the encouragement! It's easy to feel defeated but I'll keep at it.

Hey OP, don't forget to check if you're eligible for any retroactive payments once you sort this out. Sometimes they owe you money and don't tell you 🙄
