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!

Just a heads up, they recently updated their system and it's causing some delays. Might be why your claim is taking longer than usual.

Anyone else notice how the wait times seem to get longer every year? I swear it used to be so much faster back in the day. 😩

Yep, it's definitely gotten worse. Probably budget cuts and understaffing. Classic government move 🙄

Does anyone know if gig work affects unemployment if your regular job cut your hours? I've been doing some food delivery on the side to make ends meet.

It can affect your weekly benefit amount. You have to report any income you earn, even from gig work. They'll reduce your benefit based on what you earned that week.

Oof, that's rough. But I guess some money is better than no money. Thanks for the info!

I swear, dealing with EDD is like trying to nail jello to a tree 🙃 Good luck OP, hope you get through!

Pro tip: if you can, try to find someone who speaks another language and have them call the non-English line. Sometimes those lines have shorter wait times. Just make sure they can explain your situation clearly!

I'm in the same boat, been trying for days. This whole situation is making my anxiety go through the roof. How are we supposed to survive when we can't even get basic information about our benefits? 😫

Hang in there! I know it's tough, but try to take care of yourself too. This stress isn't good for anyone.

Anyone else notice that their system seems to "magically" work better right after the news reports on how bad it is? 🤔

omg yes! It's like they scramble to look competent whenever there's bad press 🙄

Anyone else notice that the system seems to be down every other day? I swear they're doing it on purpose to reduce the number of claims...

Guys, let's not assume malice. The systems are probably just overloaded with all the claims.

Has anyone tried going to the unemployment office in person? I'm thinking of camping out overnight if that's what it takes.

I tried that last week. They just gave me a piece of paper with the same phone number we've all been calling. Total waste of time.
