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!

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.

PSA: Watch out for scams! There are a lot of fake 'unemployment assistance' services out there trying to steal your info. NEVER give out your SSN or bank details to anyone who contacts you first!

Anyone else feel like the job search requirements are unrealistic? Like, sorry EDD, I can't magically make jobs appear in my field. 🙄

Have you tried networking on LinkedIn? I've had some luck there finding opportunities that aren't posted on job boards.

Hey OP, have you checked if there's been any recent system updates or policy changes? Sometimes they roll out new stuff without really announcing it and it messes everything up for a while.
