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!

This happened to my cousin last year. Turns out there was a glitch in the system that didn't register her switch from unemployment to disability properly. Took forever to fix but they eventually sorted it out. Hang in there!
Oh wow, that's interesting. Did she have to do anything special to get them to discover the glitch?
She had to be super persistent. Called like every other day and eventually got to someone in IT who looked deeper into it. Squeaky wheel gets the grease and all that

Unpopular opinion: maybe try looking for work instead of waiting for a handout? 🤷♂️
Dude, read the room. Not everyone can just magically find a job overnight. 🙄

I heard they're implementing a new AI system to process claims faster. Anyone know if thats true?
Source? I haven't seen anything about this in the news.
AI systems can indeed speed up processing, but they need to be properly calibrated to avoid incorrect denials. Let's hope if this is true, it improves efficiency without sacrificing accuracy.
Have you tried calling them? Sometimes you can get more info if you talk to a rep directly.
Calling is a waste of time. I spent hours trying to get through last week. Better off just waiting it out.
Actually, I found a way to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's the link: https://claimyr.com

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.
Ugh, thanks for the heads up. Guess I'll be digging through my files tonight 😓

Did you miss any weekly certifications? That can sometimes trigger a disqualification.

Whatever you do, don't give up! I was disqualified twice before finally getting approved. It's a pain, but persistence pays off.
