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 checked if you're actually eligible to reapply? There are specific rules about when you can file a new claim vs. reopening an existing one. Might save you some headache if you double-check that first.

Good point. I think I'm eligible, but I'll double-check the requirements. Thanks!

I'm in the same boat, been trying to reapply for weeks now. The whole system is a joke. They make it so hard on purpose, I swear. Hang in there, OP. We're all struggling together. 💪

0 coins

It's not on purpose, they're just understaffed and overwhelmed. Cut them some slack.

@profile12 Found the EDD employee lol. Jk, but seriously, they've had years to fix this system. No more excuses.

I've been dealing with this for MONTHS. Filed in March, still haven't gotten through to anyone. This is beyond frustrating.

0 coins

Months?! That's insane. Have you tried contacting your local rep? Sometimes they can help

0 coins

No, I haven't. Good idea tho, I'll give that a shot. Thanks!

Unpopular opinion: maybe if the benefits weren't so generous, the system wouldn't be so overwhelmed 🤷‍♂️

Nah, the problem is understaffing and outdated systems, not benefit levels

Just saying what everyone's thinking 🤷‍♂️ Don't shoot the messenger

Has anyone had luck getting through to EDD via social media? I've seen some people mention tweeting at them.

0 coins

I tried that once. They just replied with a link to their FAQ page 🙄

0 coins

Same here. Seems like its just a bot responding, not real help.

PSA: If you're having trouble with EDD, contact your state representative's office! They often have liaisons who can help cut through the red tape.

This! 👆 My assemblyman's office got my issue resolved in a week after I spent months getting nowhere with EDD directly.

0 coins

Anyone else notice that the EDD seems to be getting worse instead of better? You'd think after all this time they'd have figured out how to handle the volume by now. SMH

0 coins

For real tho. It's like they're stuck in the stone age or smthn. How hard is it to upgrade their systems? 🙄

0 coins

I heard they're still using computers from the 80s. No wonder everything's so slow!

0 coins

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the phone, try reaching out to EDD on Twitter. Sometimes they respond faster there. Worth a shot!

Plot twist: what if we all just stopped paying taxes until they fix this broken system? 🤔 (jk don't come for me IRS

0 coins

Lmao imagine if we actually did tho 👀

Hey OP, when you do get through, make sure to emphasize how this overpayment is affecting your disability case. Sometimes they don't realize how one issue can snowball into others. Stay strong! 💪
