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!

I heard theres a new bill being proposed to overhaul the entire unemployment system. Might be worth looking into and contacting your reps about supporting it.

0 coins

Do you have any more info on this bill? Sounds interesting!

I don't remember the exact name, but I'll try to find it and post a link here later.

idk if this helps but I saw on twitter that EDD is having major backlogs due to fraud prevention measures. Might explain the delay 🤷‍♂️

Anyone else think its crazy that in 2023 were still using physical cards for this? Why cant they just do direct deposit like a normal job smh

0 coins

For real! Get with the times, EDD!

0 coins

They do offer direct deposit tho? You just have to set it up once you get your account info from the card.

Wait, so they're holding your taxes because of this? That doesn't sound right... 🤔 You might wanna check with the IRS too, just in case.

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes important EDD emails end up there. Also, make sure you're certifying for benefits every two weeks, even if your claim is pending.

Thanks for the reminder! I'll double-check my spam folder. And yeah, I've been certifying religiously, just in case.

Anybody else notice that the EDD website is always 'under maintenance' when you actually need to use it? 🙄 It's like they're trolling us at this point.

0 coins

omg yes! 😂 I swear they wait until I'm free to do my certification and then BAM! Maintenance time!

Right?! It's like they have a camera watching us or something 👀

Has anyone tried contacting their employer directly for the W2s? Sometimes that's easier than dealing with the IRS.

0 coins

This! I totally forgot about this option. Thanks for the reminder!

0 coins

I actually tried that first, but my old employer isn't being very helpful. That's why I'm trying the IRS route now.
