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!

Hey OP, when did your doctor submit the certification? If it's been more than 10 business days, you might want to have them resend it. Sometimes they get lost in the system.
It's been about 2 weeks now. I'll call my doc tomorrow and see if they can resend it. Thanks for the heads up!

I've been in the same boat, getting bounced around departments like a pinball. What finally worked for me was selecting the Spanish language option, then asking for an English speaker when I got through. Way shorter wait times!
Isn't that kinda unethical tho? What if you're taking a spot from someone who actually needs the Spanish line?
I get where you're coming from, but after months of not being able to get through, I was desperate. The system is broken for everyone, regardless of language.

Pro tip: keep a detailed log of all your interactions with EDD. Dates, times, who you talked to, what they said. It'll help if you need to escalate your case.

am i the only one who thinks its ridiculous we have to jump through all these hoops just to fix a simple mistake? the system is broken, man 😤
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

I had a similar issue last year. What finally worked for me was sending a certified letter explaining my situation and requesting urgent action. Include all your claim details and why you need it resolved ASAP. It's harder for them to ignore physical mail.

•That's a great idea, thanks! Did you use any specific language in your letter that seemed to help?

•I kept it formal but emphasized the urgency. Used phrases like "time-sensitive matter" and "severe financial hardship". Also included copies of all previous correspondence. Good luck!
