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!

Pro tip: if u get someone on the phone, be super nice no matter how frustrated u are. The nice reps will sometimes go above and beyond to help u out
idk if this helps but I had a similar issue last month. Turns out there was a glitch in there system that was flagging a bunch of claims for review. It got sorted out after about a week without me having to do anything. Might be worth waiting a few more days before you start calling
A week?! Some of us can't afford to wait that long 😭
I know, it sucks. Just sharing my experience. Hope it gets resolved faster for OP!

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!
guys. i literaly just got off the phone with them after weeks of trying. heres the secret: call exactly at 8:01 am, press 2, then 4, then 1, wait for the spanish option, press 2 again, then 3. got thru in 10 mins. your welcome 😎
Tried it, didn't work. Guess they caught on 😭
keep trying fam. it's hit or miss but way better odds than normal 💯

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.

Anyone else feel like we need a complete overhaul of the entire system? It's 2023 and we're still dealing with these archaic processes. SMH.

Quick question - does anyone know if switching from UI to SDI affects your claim amount? I'm worried I might get less money.

•It might. SDI is usually based on your highest quarter of earnings in the base period. Best to ask a rep about your specific situation.
