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!

have you tried turning it off and on again? 🤣
Bruh, this ain't the time for jokes. OP's dealing with serious stuff here.
Chill, just trying to lighten the mood. We all know dealing with this kinda thing is stressful af.

Here's what you need to know about extended benefits: • They're only available when unemployment is high in your state • You must have exhausted your regular unemployment insurance • Your benefit amount might be different from your regular UI • You'll need to continue certifying for benefits weekly • They may ask about your job search efforts Be prepared to answer questions about why you think you qualify. Have you been actively looking for work? Did you turn down any job offers? These things can affect your eligibility. Also, keep in mind that the rules for extended benefits can change based on state and federal laws. What was true a few months ago might not be the case now. Good luck with your call! Let us know how it goes.
Wow, thank you so much for this detailed info! This is super helpful. I'll definitely come back and update after my call.
This is gold 💯 Should be pinned at the top of the sub tbh

Pro tip: If you cant get through on the main line, try calling some of the other departments. Sometimes they can transfer you to the right person. I got lucky with the tech support line once lol
Ooh, sneaky. I like it 😏
Tried this and got chewed out by the person who answered. YMMV I guess 🤷♂️
Anybody else feel like they need a degree in bureaucracy just to navigate this stuff? I swear, dealing with unemployment has been harder than any job I've ever had 🤣🤦♂️
For real tho. I'm thinking of putting 'Professional Hold Music Listener' on my resume at this point
LOL same. My new skills: patience lvl 1000, phone menu navigation expert, and fluent in government jargon 😂

Hey OP, how long has your claim been pending? I've heard that anything over 3 weeks might mean there's an identity verification issue.
It's been about 2 weeks now. Getting worried it might be heading that way tho 😕
Oof, yeah that's rough. Might wanna start gathering extra ID docs just in case. Better to be prepared!

Quick question for anyone who's been through this recently - are they still requiring the extra identity verification steps? I heard they added some new requirements and I'm trying to prepare.

•Yeah, they are. Make sure you have a clear photo of your ID and a recent utility bill or bank statement. They're pretty strict about it.

Hey OP, don't forget to check if you qualify for any additional assistance programs while you're at it. Food stamps, utility assistance, etc. Every little bit helps when you're between jobs.
