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 found a way to get someone on the phone without the crazy wait times. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI
Wait, we have to PAY to talk to someone now? This system is so broken 😡
@profile 10 I get it, it's frustrating. But for me, paying $20 was better than wasting a whole day on hold. Just sharing what worked for me!

Quick question for anyone who knows - if I pick up some freelance work, do I have to report that? And will it affect my benefits?
Yes, you definitely need to report any income. It might reduce your benefits for that week, but you could still be eligible for partial payment.
Ah gotcha, thanks for the info!
PSA: Watch out for scams! There are a lot of people trying to take advantage of folks on unemployment. Never give out your personal info to anyone claiming to be from the unemployment office unless you're 100% sure it's legit.
This! My cousin almost got scammed last week. These people have no shame 😡

idk if this helps, but last time I had an issue, I reached out to my state representative's office. They have liaisons who can sometimes cut through the red tape faster than we can on our own.
This is actually really good advice. I did this once for a different government issue and it worked like a charm!

Welcome to EDD hell, where the rules are made up and your needs don't matter 🤡 Seriously tho, don't give up. Keep calling, keep documenting everything. It's a pain, but you'll get through eventually.
lmao too real 😂 EDD should hire some of us, we probably know the system better than they do at this point
PSA: If anyone's having trouble with their claim, contact your local state representative's office! They have liaisons who can escalate issues with EDD. Helped me break through the bureaucracy when I was stuck in limbo for months.
This! 👆 My assemblyman's office was a game-changer. Wish I'd known about this option sooner.
Wow, I had no idea this was an option. Definitely going to look into this. Thanks for the tip!

idk if this helps but i had a similar problem and it turned out my account was flagged for suspicious activity. had to verify my identity again. might be worth asking about that when you call.
