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!

When my brother had a similar situation happen, he went to the nearest EDD office in person with his ID and the letter. They were able to look it up immediately and confirm it was fraud. They had him fill out some paperwork right there and canceled the fake claim. Much faster than trying to deal with the phone system! Just Google your nearest EDD office and show up when they open.

•Not all "EDD offices" handle UI claims anymore!!! Many are just job centers now and CAN'T help with these issues. I wasted half a day going to one only to be told they couldn't do ANYTHING. The system is BROKEN!

After you get this resolved, make sure to take these additional steps: 1. File an identity theft report with the FTC at IdentityTheft.gov 2. Place a fraud alert with all three credit bureaus 3. Review your credit reports for any other suspicious activity 4. Continue monitoring your EDD account for any further unauthorized claims 5. Consider filing Form 14039 (Identity Theft Affidavit) with the IRS to prevent tax-related issues Identity theft involving unemployment claims has been rising since 2020, and sometimes old data breaches can lead to fraud years later.

•Thank you so much for this detailed advice. I was able to reach an EDD rep this morning (used that Claimyr service someone mentioned and it actually worked!). They confirmed someone tried filing a claim using my info. They've flagged my account and are sending me paperwork to officially report the fraud. I'm going to follow all your steps to protect myself further.
