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 your states unemployment website? Sometimes they have a seperate section for extended benefits with eligibility critera listed out. Might save you some time on the phone.

Good idea, I'll take a look. Anything to avoid more time on hold lol

extended benefits are a myth, change my mind 🤔

Nah, they're real. I'm on them right now. But getting approved feels like winning the lottery 🎰

idk if this helps, but I had a similar issue last year. Turns out they had my birthdate wrong in the system which flagged my account for review. Might be worth double-checking all your personal info is correct.

0 coins

Oh wow, I hadn't even thought of that. I'll definitely check. Thanks for the tip!

Unpopular opinion: maybe try faxing your documents? I know it sounds ancient, but sometimes it gets processed faster than online submissions. Just a thought 🤷‍♂️

PRO TIP: Si tienes que enviar documentos por correo, usa correo certificado con acuse de recibo. Así tienes prueba de que lo enviaste y de que lo recibieron. Me ha salvado más de una vez cuando dicen que "nunca recibieron nada".

Alguien más ha tenido problemas con el sistema en línea? Intento subir mis documentos pero sigue dándome error 😤

Todo. El. Tiempo. 🙄 Intenta muy temprano en la mañana o tarde en la noche cuando hay menos tráfico.

A veces ayuda limpiar la caché del navegador o usar otro navegador. El sistema es un desastre pero esos trucos me han funcionado.

Anyone else notice that the EDD website is down... again? 🙄 How are we supposed to check our claim status if the site never works?

Classic EDD. Their tech is from like 1995 I swear

Try using incognito mode or clearing your cache. Sometimes that helps me get in.

I'm in the same boat as OP, finally got through yesterday! Here's what worked for me: - Call right at 8:01 AM - If you get the "too many callers" message, hang up and redial immediately - Use the 2511 number and press 1, then 2, then 4 - Have all your info ready (SSN, claim date, last employer, etc.) - Be super nice to the rep, they deal with angry people all day Hope this helps someone else! Don't give up, you'll get through eventually!

What's the full 2511 number? Can you share it?

0 coins

@profile14 It's 833-978-2511. Good luck!

Hey OP, what time of day were you calling? I've had better luck getting through in the afternoons.

0 coins

I was calling around noon. Maybe I'll try later in the day next time, thanks for the tip!

Plot twist: what if there are no actual EDD employees and its just an elaborate AI system designed to frustrate us all? 🤖

Nah, an AI would probably be more efficient 😂
